Will Deadpool 2 Make an Impact? Exploring the Future of the Merc with a Mouth

The highly anticipated Deadpool 2 is on the horizon, but fans might have to wait a bit longer than anticipated. While the character will make his mark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it's unlikely to be in the way you're expecting. The reason behind this is the multi-verse storyline, which will unfold later in phase 4 of the MCU phases.

Marketing Teases a Vintage Deadpool

Most of the marketing for Deadpool 2 has centered around Ryan Reynolds' hilarious antics, with a strong focus on making fans laugh. However, we were finally given our first glimpse of a full, uninterrupted scene from the movie. This scene, which aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live, showcases a vintage Deadpool insert for humor as well as inserting his classic wit.

In the scene, featuring Zazie Beets as Domino, we see a convoy of vehicles on a city street. Domino drops into one truck and eliminates the driver. Before long, Cable arrives in the scene to add a layer of complexity to Deadpool's mission. The key point is that Deadpool, despite not being the focus, still manages to make a humorous comment.

While the exact content has been toned down for broadcast TV purposes, it is safe to assume that the original Deadpool would not shy away from graphic sexual jokes. Considering this, we can expect the sequel to double down on all the classic elements that made the first film a runaway success.

New Action and Characters

The scene includes some impressive action sequences, mainly focused on Zazie Beets kicking butt. This is just the beginning of the larger action scenes to come. With several new characters joining the franchise, the action in Deadpool 2 is set to be thrilling and packed with entertainment.

The presence of new targets for Deadpool's trademark humor will also add a layer of excitement for the audience. The film promises a blend of humorous moments and intense action, ensuring that fans get plenty of both.

What We Still Do Not Know

Despite the extensive marketing efforts that have been underway since the end credits of the first Deadpool film, there is still a lot that remains a mystery. Most of what we've seen in the trailers are short clips of Ryan Reynolds being hilarious, often dressed as Bob Ross or playing with characters like Logan. These clips allow for more humor but less of the actual storyline.

With a road to the big screen that was similarly challenging to the first film's, fans can look forward to the complete Deadpool 2 experience, which is set to release on May 18, 2018. While the film is currently projected to open on the heels of the first movie's earnings, it is clear that there is still a significant audience eager to see the eccentric mercenary once more.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand, Deadpool 2 stands as a unique entry that blends humor with action in a way that feels fresh and exciting. With the promise of new characters, action sequences, and, of course, Deadpool's trademark sense of humor, the film is well-positioned for success.
