Deadpool 2 is the 2018 sequel to Deadpool, directed by David Leitch and starring Ryan Reynolds as Marvel's premiere Anti-Hero -- Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth.

After a failed suicide attempt in the wake of his lover Vanessa's death, Deadpool joins the X-Men and becomes caught up in an effort to stop Cable, a Time Traveler who has come from the future to kill a young mutant named Firefist. Deadpool assembles a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits to help him, but in the end it comes down to just Deadpool to save the day (and the yesterday).

Tropes used in Deadpool 2 include:

Actor Allusion: Deadpool calls Cable "Thanos" since Josh Brolin played both characters.
Adapted Out: Much of Cable's backstory from the comics is left out, to the point a inattentive viewer may miss he is a mutant. Considering that future Firefist is not related all to his origins, this is justified.
Bad Future: Cable originated from a future where mutants are almost wiped out.
Badass Adorable: Yukio
Darker and Edgier: The film is more serious than its predecessor.
Half the Man He Used To Be: Juggernaut rips Deadpool in two. It isn't fatal, of course, but it is painful and inconvenient.
Karmic Death: The abusive headmaster is run over by Dopinder after Deadpool prevents his death at Firefist's hands.
Memento MacGuffin: The teddy bear Cable has hanging from his belt used to belong to his dead daughter.
Ms. Fanservice: Domino wears a skintight outfit with some cleavage.
Politically-Incorrect Villain: Juggernaut calls Colossus a "commie motherfucker".
Race Lift: Domino is infamously pale with a small black spot on the comics, and Caucasian. Here she is played by an afro-European with only a small white spot on her face instead.
Reality Ensues: X-Force dramatically do a paradrop into a city. Most of them die in embarrassing ways from running into the mundanities of urban life, like power lines.
Recut:
- There is an unrated cut with extra scenes and different jokes.
- There is a PG-13 cut called Once Upon a Deadpool, where Deadpool tells the story to a thoroughly-grown-up Fred Savage as an homage to The Princess Bride.
Sir Swearsalot: Deadpool.
The Stinger: Deadpool uses Cable's time travel device to save Vanessa and Peter and kill off his X-Men Origins: Wolverine version as well as Ryan Reynolds for reading the Green Lantern script. In the unrated cut, he also kills a baby Hitler.
Take That: Some shots are taken at Green Lantern, and even more at X-Men Origins: Wolverine, particularly for what it did to its version of the title character. Deadpool took some at Logan, too.
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Enforced. Firefist killing his abusive headmaster leads to the future where he kills Cable's wife and daughter; so the heroes must ensure absolutely this can't happen, and even don't try to intentionally to kill him.
Toxic Friend Influence: Deadpool got Colossus to start swearing.
Truer to the Text: The Juggernaut is seen as far more of an unstoppable force compared to his appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand.
Winds of Destiny Change: Domino's power is an involuntary use of this trope: everything goes in her favor no matter how much the odds are stacked against her.
