Deadpool movie recap (2016)
Deadpool (2016) introduces the character of Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), a self-proclaimed vigilante. One day, he meets Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), a woman working in the streets. Soon after, they start a romance.
Unfortunately, Wilson discovers he has cancer. Hence, he distances himself from Vanessa and roommates with a woman named AI (Leslie Uggams), who is always willing to give him bits of advice.
One day, Wilson is persuaded by Ajax (Ed Skrein) to join his experimental trial. Unfortunately, it leaves his body in horrendous circumstances, which prevents him from reuniting with the love of his life.
Therefore, his mission is simple. Revenge Ajax and get the cure to survive. What follows is a hilarious, dark-humor quest. But he is not alone. Wade Wilson recruits help from Colossus (Stefan Kapicic) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand).
Deadpool 2 movie recap (2018)
Deadpool 2 starts with the happy couple Wilson (Reynolds) and Vanessa (Baccarin), ready to take the next step in their relationship and begin a family. Tragically, Vanessa is killed.
This leads to a dark path in Wilson’s life, who later attempts suicide. So, his friend Colossus (Kapicic) forces Deadpool to join the X-Mansion while he recovers from his wounds.
At the X-Mansion, he meets new friends such as orphan Russell Collins (Julian Dennison), and also enemies such as Cable (Josh Brolin), a time traveler cyborg.
Cable’s mission is simple: To kill Collins before he kills his family in the future. On the other hand, after one after-life vision of Vanessa, Deadpool’s mission is to protect Collins.
To prevent mistakes from happening again, Deadpool recruits a new team member Domino (Zazie Beetz). Later on, he realizes that he will have to work alongside Cable to prevent the newly formed duo of Collins and Juggernaut.
The mission ends successfully with Deadpool being able to go back in time to alternate some timeline events, including talking to a young Wolverine (2009), and most importantly, saving his wife Vanessa.
