Deadpool is a 2016 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is the eighth installment in the X-Men film series. The film is directed by Tim Miller, with a screenplay by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T. J. Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapičić, and Leslie Uggams. The film follows Wade Wilson who, after being subjected to an experiment that leaves him with new abilities, hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

In February 2004, development for the film began with New Line Cinema. However, in March 2005, New Line Cinema put the film in turnaround and 20th Century Fox became interested. In May 2009, 20th Century Fox lent the film to writers, and in April 2011, Miller was hired to direct. Principal photography commenced in Vancouver, Canada, in March 2015 and ended in May.

Deadpool premiered in Paris on February 8, 2016, and was released on February 12, 2016 in North America in IMAX, DLP, D-Box and premium large formats.

Plot

Wade Wilson is a mercenary who spends his time in New York City protecting teenage girls from would-be stalkers. He meets escort Vanessa Carlysle at a local bar and they become romantically attached for nearly a year. He proposes to her one night, then he suddenly collapses and is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Though she remains by his side, he fears losing her.

One night at the bar that he met Vanessa, he is approached by a recruiter from a secret program. He is offered an experimental cure for his cancer, but he rebuffs the man and leaves. Desperate to live, he reconsiders and leaves Vanessa in the middle of the night to undergo the procedure. He is injected with a special serum by Francis Freeman and tortured for days by Angel Dust in order to trigger a mutation. After weeks of no success, Wade is strapped into an airtight chamber after insulting Francis. The drop in oxygen triggers a healing factor that removes his cancer, but severely disfigures his face and skin in the process. He escapes from the chamber by blowing it up and attempts to kill Francis, only stopping when he claims he can cure Wade's disfigurement. He is then impaled by rebar and left for dead in the destruction of the lab.

Although he tracks her down, he cannot come to terms with his complexion, and he keeps himself away from Vanessa. Wade moves into the home of an elderly blind woman named Al, and with the advice of his best friend Weasel, he becomes a masked vigilante named "Deadpool", and begins hunting down Francis and dismantling his organization.

Following a string of leads from various syndicates, Deadpool attacks a convoy of cars on an expressway before getting his hands on Francis, demanding for a cure to his disfigurement. The confrontation is suddenly interrupted by the X-Men Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who want him to join the team. Their intervention enables Francis to run off, and when Colossus handcuffs himself to Deadpool on their way back to the X-Mansion, Deadpool cuts off his own hand and escapes back to his home.

The next night, Weasel convinces Deadpool to go back to Vanessa, but when they arrive at the strip club she works at, Deadpool discovers that she has been kidnapped, and Francis and Angel Dust tell him to meet up with them on a decommissioned aircraft carrier at a scrapyard.

Deadpool convinces Colossus and Negasonic to help him, and the trio take a cab to the scrapyard, where Colossus and Negasonic have a grueling battle with Angel Dust while Deadpool slashes through an army of goons on his way toward Francis. Deadpool and Francis then engage in a bloody hand-to-hand combat before Negasonic uses her power to destroy the aircraft carrier. In the end, Deadpool gains the upper hand in the fight and Francis admits that there is no cure for Wade's disfigurement. Although Colossus urges Deadpool to spare Francis and be a true hero, he shoots Francis in the head, finally killing him and avenging himself. Deadpool removes his mask and shows Vanessa his new face. Though she is angry that he left her, she accepts him and they reconcile by kissing.

In a post-credits scene, Deadpool urges the audience to leave and go home, then announces that there will be sequel involving Cable.

Cast

• Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool:

A mercenary who was subjected to an experimental regenerative mutation to cure his cancer, which gives him accelerated healing superpowers. This however comes with the cost of severely bad scarring, and slight insanity. Reynolds said that this version of Deadpool would be more "authentic" than the one that appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and would be more similar to the comic book character.

• Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlysle: Wade's girlfriend.
• Ed Skrein as Francis Freeman / Ajax:

A mutant with enhanced strength and an inability to feel pain, who is a weapons expert. He is also member of the Weapon X program that was responsible for the experiment for which Wade volunteered.

• T.J. Miller as Weasel: Wade's best friend who regularly helps him carry out his activities.
• Gina Carano as Angel Dust: A mutant in alliance with Ajax, who possesses superhuman levels of strength and speed.
• Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead: A teenage X-Men trainee mutant, who possesses powers to detonate atomic bursts from her body.
• Stefan Kapičić as Peter Rasputin / Colossus:

A mutant member of the X-Men, with the ability to transform his entire body into organic steel, and possesses super-strength while in that form. The role was originally offered to Daniel Cudmore, who had played the character in X2, X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Days of Future Past, but he declined. Instead, Andre Tricoteux portrayed the character through motion capture, while Kapičić provides the voice.

• Leslie Uggams as Blind Al: An elderly blind woman and Deadpool's roommate.
• Jed Rees as The Recruiter: The Weapon X recruiter that enlists Wade into the program in hopes to cure his cancer.

Karan Soni portrays Dopinder, a taxi driver. X-Men co-creator Stan Lee has a cameo appearance as a strip club MC. Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld also made a cameo appearance.

Production

Development

"There's definitely a sort of overall plan that we've all been talking about for the X-Men universe now, and Deadpool obviously fits into that. So yeah, I guess I would say it's part of certainly an overall timeline and thought process that goes into these films."

Deadpool was in development hell for more than 10 years. In May 2000, Artisan Entertainment announced a deal with Marvel Entertainment to coproduce, finance and distribute a film based on Deadpool. In February 2004, New Line Cinema attempted to produce a Deadpool film with writer/director David S. Goyer working on the spin-off and actor Ryan Reynolds in the title role; Reynolds himself became interested in the character after finding out that in Cable & Deadpool, Deadpool refers to his own scarred appearance as "Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar-Pei".

By August, Goyer lost interest in favor of other projects. In March 2005, after New Line put Deadpool in turnaround, 20th Century Fox became interested in moving forward on production for the project.

Fox considered a Deadpool spin-off early in the development of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which had Reynolds cast in the role, and after the opening weekend success of that film announced that it was lending Deadpool out to writers, with Lauren Shuler Donner acting as a producer. Donner wanted the film to reboot the character of Deadpool, ignoring the version in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and including attributes that the character has in the comics, such as breaking the fourth wall. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were hired to write the script in January 2010, and Robert Rodriguez was sent an early draft of the screenplay that June. After negotiations with Rodriguez fell through, Adam Berg emerged as a top contender to direct. In April 2011, visual effects specialist Tim Miller was hired as director, making the film his directorial debut.

In July 2014, visual effects test footage created for the film in 2012 and starring Reynolds through motion capture, was leaked online. Blur Studio, the company that created the test footage, subsequently released it officially. In September 2014, Fox gave the film a release date of February 12, 2016. The next month, producer Simon Kinberg said that the film would be part of the shared cinematic universe with the other X-Men films. Marvel characters Cannonball and Garrison Kane were removed from subsequent rewrites of the script, with the latter specifically being omitted due to budgetary concerns over the required CGI for his cybernetic arms, and the former being omitted due to concerns he would have been a "stupid hick character". Wyre was initially going to appear as an additional villain, but was also cut, while plans to have the Marvel superhero Cable appear were halted when it was decided that he would work better in a potential sequel.

Reynolds "100 percent" attributed Fox's greenlighting of the film to the test footage leak, stating, after being asked who had leaked it, "I would have, if I had known it would have caused that!...Now, we get to make the movie. We don’t get to make it with the budget of most superhero movies, but we get to make it the way we want to make it".

Casting

In December 2014, Reynolds was confirmed to reprise his role as Wade Wilson / Deadpool. In January 2015, T. J. Miller and Ed Skrein were in talks to appear in the film. In February 2015, Gina Carano was cast as Angel Dust, and Miller and Morena Baccarin were cast in unspecified roles. Taylor Schilling, Crystal Reed, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Sarah Greene, and Jessica De Gouw were also considered for Baccarin's role. In March, Miller's role was revealed to be Weasel, while Baccarin's was revealed to be Vanessa Carlysle. Later that month, Brianna Hildebrand was cast as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. In April, Skrein revealed his role as Ajax. In July, Leslie Uggams confirmed she will be portraying Blind Al. In August, Tim Miller revealed that Jed Rees will portray The Recruiter. Daniel Cudmore was approached to reprise his role as Colossus from the previous X-Men films, but declined when he learned that he was not being asked to voice the character as well. Instead, Stefan Kapičić will voice Colossus, with Andre Tricoteux providing the motion capture performance.

Filming

Principal photography commenced on March 23, 2015, in Vancouver, Canada, and ended on May 29, 2015. Re-shoots began in November.

Music

Tom Holkenborg, better known as Junkie XL, confirmed on his own Twitter account that he is scoring the soundtrack for the movie. The soundtrack is scheduled to be released on February 12, 2016, the same day of the release of the movie, featuring music composed by Holkenborg and music by other artists.

Release

Deadpool made its world premiere at the Grand Rex in Paris on February 8, 2016. Deadpool was released on February 10, 2016 in the United Kingdom and February 12, 2016 in North America. The film was released in various formats such as IMAX, DLP, premium large formats and D-Box. However, it was denied a theatrical release in China and Uzbekistan due to its content, for violence, nudity and graphic language. In India, it received an A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification with some cuts. It opened Tuesday, February 9, in Hong Kong, and in 7 additional markets on Wednesday, February 10 including the United Kingdom and Ireland, France, Taiwan, the Philippines, Belgium and Singapore. 39 other markets, including Australia, Argentina and Brazil, opened on Thursday, February 11 with 23 more markets to bow on Friday, February 12, including the United States and Canada and India among other markets. South Korea, Italy, Spain and Japan are yet to open in the coming weekends.

Marketing

In July 2015, director Miller and several cast members attended the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con to present the trailer of the film, which received a standing ovation from attendees who requested that it be played again. Graeme McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter opined that Deadpool "looks like the first movie that talks to the fan audience in their own language", and praised the meta humor of the trailer, while Business Insider's Joshua Rivera gave the trailer a positive review for being "faithful to the source material", as well as for its humor and action.

In December 2015, Fox launched a viral marketing campaign titled "The 12 days of Deadpool", which consisted of one website posting new info about the film each day, with the culmination of a new trailer released on Christmas Day. The general marketing campaign for the film has garnered a positive reaction in the media; two particular items that were noted as effective was a campaign to feign Deadpool as a Valentine's Day romance film, and a billboard only containing the emoji "💀💩L" which journalists called "dumb, yet hilarious".

On January 19, 2016, two screenings of supposedly yet unseen footage in New York and Los Angeles turned out to be surprise screenings of the entire film; Screen Rant noted that fan reactions to the film were "overwhelmingly positive".

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, pre-release tracking suggests the film will open to $55–65 million from 3,557 theaters in its opening weekend, and up to $75 million over the four-day Presidents' Day weekend, outstripping the projections for fellow newcomers Zoolander No. 2 and How to Be Single. Tracking also showed that the film was strong for both males and females. The film has the added benefit of playing across 374 IMAX screens and 475 premium large format screens. It made $12.7 million from its Thursday night previews from 2,975 theaters, setting records for the biggest R-rated and February previews, beating The Hangover Part II ($10.4 million) and Fifty Shades of Grey ($8.6 million), respectively. Of that $2.3 million came from IMAX showings, for a per screen average of $6,200, which is the sixth biggest IMAX preview ever. This broke the record for the biggest February IMAX preview, previously held by Juspitee Ascending ($123,703) and the biggest R-rated IMAX preview, breaking Prometheus record ($1.04 million).

Outside North America, Deadpool will be released in a total of 80 countries. It began its international rollout on February 10, with previews on Tuesday night where it earned $12 million from 7 markets. The Hollywood Reporter called it "no small feat" considering it's the first Marvel superhero film to be rated R. On its opening day – which varies among different countries – it had the biggest Fox opening day ever for a 15-rated movie, the 5th highest opening day for a Marvel film and the biggest IMAX Wednesday opening ever (behind Spectre) in the United Kingdom and Ireland ($3.4 million), the biggest February opening of all time in Australia ($2.1 million). the biggest Fox opening day ever and the biggest IMAX opening of all time in Taiwan with $1.4 million ($1.7 million including previews), Fox's biggest Chinese New Year single day ever in Hong Kong ($650,000), the biggest opening day ever for an R-rated film in the Philippines ($357,000), the biggest superhero opening day ever in Belgium ($270,000), and Fox's biggest opening day ever for an M18 rated film in Singapore ($205,000).

Critical response

Deadpool has received positive reviews from critics and audiences. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 84%, based on 154 reviews, with an average rating of 7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Fast, funny, and gleefully profane, the fourth-wall-busting Deadpool subverts the superhero film formula with wildly entertaining – and decidedly non-family-friendly – results." Metacritic, another review aggregator, assigned the film a weighted average score of 65 out of 100, based on 46 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Richard Roeper gave the film 2.5 out 4 stars, praising Reynolds' performance but saying the film gets bogged down by its origin story, and all too often becomes like the films it spoofs.

Sequel

In September 2015, Kinberg commented on the possibility of a sequel for Deadpool: "we were talking about the sequel while we were making the movie just because when you make a film like this that’s from a serialized source material, you hope that it’s the first of many". By the release of Deadpool, Fox had already greenlit the sequel, with Rheese and Wernick returning to write, and Miller being looked at to return as director.
