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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Juggernaut calls Colossus a "commie motherfucker".
• Sir Swearsalot: Deadpool.
• The Stinger: Deadpool uses Cable's time travel machine 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.
• Truer to the Text: Than the In Name Only version of Wade Wilson seen in X-Men Origins: Wolverine -- due almost entirely to Ryan Reynolds' tireless efforts to do right by the character.
• Toxic Friend Influence: Deadpool got Colossus to start swearing.
• Truer to the Text: The Juggernaut is seen as an unstoppable force compared to his appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand.
