'''''Deadpool''''' is a 2016 American [[Superhero Film|superhero film]] based on the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[Deadpool|of the same name]], distributed by [[20th Century Fox]]. It is the eighth installment of the [[X-Men (Film Series)|''X-Men'' film series]]. The film was directed by [[Tim Miller (Director)|Tim Miller]] from a screenplay by [[Rhett Reese]] and [[Paul Wernick]], and stars [[Ryan Reynolds]] in the title role alongside [[Morena Baccarin]], [[Ed Skrein]], [[T. J. Miller]], [[Gina Carano]], [[Leslie Uggams]], [[Brianna Hildebrand]], and [[Stefan Kapičić]]. In ''Deadpool'', Wade Wilson hunts the man who gave him [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] abilities, but also a scarred physical appearance, as the [[Antihero|antihero]] Deadpool.

Development of a Deadpool film starring Reynolds began in February 2004, before he went on to play the character in ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Film)|X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' in 2009. Reese and Wernick were hired in 2010, and worked with Reynolds to more faithfully adapt the character (including his [[Fourth Wall|fourth wall]] breaking) after the portrayal in ''Wolverine'' was criticized for not doing so. Miller was hired in 2011 for his [[List of Directorial Debuts|directorial debut]], and an enthusiastic response to leaked test footage he created with Reynolds led to a green light from Fox in 2014. Additional casting began in early 2015, and filming took place in [[Vancouver]] from March to May. Visual effects were provided by multiple vendors and ranged from the addition of blood and gore to the creation of the CG character [[Colossus (Comics)|Colossus]].

''Deadpool'' was released in North America on February 12, 2016, after an unconventional [[Viral Marketing|viral marketing]] campaign. The film became both a financial and critical success: it earned over $783 million, [[List of Box Office Records Set by Deadpool (Film)|breaking numerous records]] and becoming the overall highest-grossing [[R-Rated|R-rated]] film, the highest grossing ''X-Men'' film, and the [[2016 in Film|ninth-highest-grossing film of 2016]]; it received critical praise for Reynolds' performance, the film's style and faithfulness to the comics, and its action, though some criticized the plot as formulaic as well as the sheer number of jokes in the film; and it [[List of Accolades Received by Deadpool (Film)|received numerous awards and nominations]], including two [[Critics' Choice Movie Awards|Critics' Choice Award]] wins and two [[Golden Globe Award|Golden Globe]] nominations. ''[[Deadpool 2 (Film)|Deadpool 2]]'' is set for release on June 1, 2018.

==Cast==
[[File:Cast of Deadpool.jpg|thumb|(L-R) Tim Miller, Reynolds, Baccarin, T. J. Miller, Hildebrand, Skrein, and Carano speaking at the 2015 [[San Diego Comic-Con]]]]
* [[Ryan Reynolds]] as [[Deadpool|Wade Wilson / Deadpool]]: {{Cast List Break|A wisecracking mercenary with accelerated healing but severe scarring over his body after undergoing an experimental mutation. The writers described Deadpool as "fun to hang out with ... in short doses", while Reynolds promised a more "authentic" and comic-faithful version of the character than the one he portrayed in ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Film)|X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]''. The character is aware that he is in a film after becoming Deadpool, though before that point Wilson does make a joke about Reynolds' role in ''[[Green Lantern (Film)|Green Lantern]]''.}}
* [[Morena Baccarin]] as [[Copycat (Marvel Comics)|Vanessa]]: {{Cast List Break|An escort and Wilson's fiance. Baccarin described her as "scrappy" and not a [[Damsel in Distress|damsel in distress]]. The character was initially designed as a "typical prostitute", but Baccarin worked with the costume and makeup teams to make her appearance more layered. The film does not explore the character's comic alter-ego "Copycat" as the writers wanted to focus on Deadpool, but makeup designer [[Bill Corso]] included some references to Copycat's blue comic appearance.}}
* [[Ed Skrein]] as [[Ajax (Comics)#Deadpool character|Francis Freeman / Ajax]]: {{Cast List Break|An artificially-mutated member of the program that creates Deadpool, he feels no pain and has enhanced strength. Director [[Tim Miller (Director)|Tim Miller]] praised Skrein's dedication to the role, saying "he worked really, really hard" for the fight sequences and completed around 80 percent of his own stunts in the film. Skrein was influenced by [[Rutger Hauer]]'s [[List of Blade Runner Characters#Roy Batty|Roy Batty]] from ''[[Blade Runner (Film)|Blade Runner]]'', and serial killer [[Harold Shipman]].}}
* [[T. J. Miller]] as [[Weasel (Marvel Comics)|Weasel]]: {{Cast List Break|Wilson's best friend. Miller felt he was cast as the character because he "looks like his superhero power is spilling mustard on his shirt", and producer [[Simon Kinberg]] added that an actor was needed "who could keep up with" Reynolds comedically. Miller attempted to give the character a facial tic, but director Tim Miller rejected the idea.}}
* [[Gina Carano]] as [[Angel Dust (Comics)|Angel Dust]]: {{Cast List Break|An artificially-mutated member of the program that creates Deadpool, she has superhuman strength and speed. Director Miller personally called Carano and asked her to take the part. Carano felt the character's rage and "extreme adrenaline issues" made comparisons to the drug "[[Phencyclidine|angel dust]]" fitting. Carano had wanted to wear yellow contact lenses to match the character's look from the comics, but Corso turned her down, comparing them to something from the ''[[The Twilight Saga (Film Series)|Twilight]]'' films.}}
* [[Leslie Uggams]] as [[Blind Al]]: {{Cast List Break|An elderly blind woman and Deadpool's roommate. Uggams said that Al has "been through British Intelligence, she's done all kinds of wild and crazy things ... she's old, but she's feisty." Uggams added that Al has a "love/hate" relationship with Deadpool.}}
* [[Brianna Hildebrand]] as [[Negasonic Teenage Warhead]]: {{Cast List Break|A teenage [[X-Men]] trainee, who possesses the mutant power to detonate atomic bursts from her body. The filmmakers wanted to use the character based on her name, and looked to change her comic abilities from telepathic and precognitive powers to "a literal warhead". They required permission from [[Marvel Entertainment|Marvel]] to do this, with Tim Miller talking directly with [[Marvel Studios]] president [[Kevin Feige]]. A deal was reached allowing the change in exchange for [[20th Century Fox]] giving Marvel Studios the film rights for [[Ego the Living Planet]], whom they wanted to use in the 2017 film ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Film)|Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2]]''.}}
* [[Stefan Kapičić]] as the voice of [[Colossus (Comics)|Colossus]]: {{Cast List Break|An X-Man with the mutant ability to transform his entire body into organic steel. Writer [[Rhett Reese]] called him "a great foil to Deadpool because he’s very self-serious and goody- two-shoes". Director Miller drastically changed the character from his previous film appearances, where he was portrayed by [[Daniel Cudmore]], as Miller felt "'That dude with the shiny skin is not fucking Colossus.'" He wanted the character to be seven-and-a-half feet tall, with [[Andre Tricoteux]] standing in for a CG version of Colossus on set, and Kapičić cast to give him the "authentic Russian accent" he has in the comics.}}

Additionally, [[Karan Soni]] portrays Dopinder, a taxi driver who befriends Deadpool, and [[Jed Rees]] portrays a recruiter for Ajax. X-Men co-creator [[Stan Lee]] and Deadpool co-creator [[Rob Liefeld]] make cameo appearances as a strip club [[Master of Ceremonies|emcee]] and a patron of Weasel's bar, respectively. Rob Hayter makes a cameo appearance as [[Bob, Agent of Hydra]], a recurring character in the comics alongside Deadpool. The rights for Bob are owned by Marvel Studios, who did not give permission for him to be used in the film, so his comic history and connections to the organization [[Hydra (Comics)|Hydra]] are not referenced in the film. He is instead explained as a former special forces operative like Wilson. ''Wolverine'' star [[Hugh Jackman]] was very supportive of ''Deadpool'', and of it making fun of himself and his character, and is seen in the film via his [[People (Magazine)|People]]'s [[People (Magazine)#Sexiest Man Alive|Sexiest Man Alive]] magazine cover.
