Deadpool

Wade Wilson emerges from a brutal experiment with accelerated healing and a new identity as Deadpool. His search for the person responsible is delivered with constant commentary, violent confrontations and little interest in conventional superhero decorum.

The defining feature is Wade’s voice: the film keeps turning its storytelling into another target for jokes. Watch the contrast between his performance of indifference and the personal attachments he cannot quite dismiss. The humor and violence are intended for adults.

Start here for this Deadpool series. Earlier X-Men films add recognition, but this film supplies Wade’s central introduction.

The 2016 Deadpool film begins Ryan Reynolds’s solo Deadpool series. It should not be treated as a straightforward continuation of every detail attached to Wade in Origins: Wolverine.

The catalog lists 108 minutes. The release date above is the catalog’s date for this title; dates and runtimes may differ by territory or edition. Follow the linked film source for its own listing.

This film is not on the current reviewed Doomsday preparation list. That is separate from its value as a film or a starting point.
