If this weekend’s massive $125-million box-office haul for “Deadpool 2” is any indication - the second-highest ever for an R-rated title, behind only its predecessor - it seems audiences agree. Warning: This story contains major plot spoilers about “Deadpool 2.”įrom the very beginning, the creative team behind the “Deadpool” franchise has stuck to one very simple rule that guides every decision they make: “We always say, ‘If you can’t do it in another superhero movie, you’d best be doing it in a Deadpool movie,” said screenwriter Paul Wernick.
