Deadpool 2 (2018)
The sequel it had to earn: the Juggernaut truck chase, Brolin's war behind the deadpan, a joke that turns sincere at the right instant. 83% RT, 7.7 IMDb. Stay for the post credits.

Deadpool 2 (2018) is a action and adventure film produced for Movies.
It stars Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Zazie Beetz and Morena Baccarin.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 119 minutes and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Zazie Beetz, Morena Baccarin and Julian Dennison lead the cast.
Key roles include Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool; Josh Brolin as Cable; Zazie Beetz as Domino; Morena Baccarin as Vanessa; Julian Dennison as Firefist.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and sci-fi have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 7.7/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Since it arrived and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and adventure viewers.
How Deadpool 2 (2018) Compares
If Deadpool 2 (2018) lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/adventure lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
