After a personal tragedy rocks his world, Wade Wilson — aka Deadpool — struggles to find purpose beyond the blood-soaked chaos. Hoping to find redemption, he joins the X-Men as a trainee and crosses paths with a powerful young mutant named Russell (a.k.a. Firefist), who is being hunted by the time-traveling cyber-soldier Cable.
Determined to protect the boy and give his life meaning, Deadpool forms his own team of misfits: X-Force. What follows is a hilariously violent, fourth-wall-breaking mission involving family, sacrifice, and just enough time travel nonsense to keep everyone guessing.
With razor-sharp humor, unexpected heart, and wild action, Deadpool 2 delivers a sequel that’s bigger, bolder, and just as gloriously inappropriate as the original.
We gave Deadpool 2 a high 9/10 — it’s everything a sequel should be: louder, bloodier, funnier, and with surprising emotional depth.
Ryan Reynolds once again owns the role of Deadpool, blending sarcasm, violence, and meta-commentary with absolute precision. The film balances its R-rated humor and gore with a surprisingly heartfelt story about grief and found family. The emotional arc surrounding Wade’s loss and his efforts to save Russell gives the film real stakes beneath the madness.
Josh Brolin is fantastic as Cable — a grim, no-nonsense contrast to Deadpool’s chaos — and Zazie Beetz shines as Domino, whose “luck” powers make for some of the film’s most visually inventive scenes. The X-Force sequence is pure comedy gold, and the mid-credits scenes are among the funniest and most satisfying in superhero movie history.
While not as “fresh” as the first film, Deadpool 2 delivers everything fans want — smart writing, brilliant action choreography, and that perfect balance of absurdity and sincerity.
