Deadpool has contributed a lot to how superhero movies have been made and delivered in recent times. It is a Marvel property, the idea of such an R-rated superhero movie being made was hardly conceivable. Ande yet it came out and with its funny nods and references and the mindful breaking of the fourth wall it helped us explore the various places such a character could be taken. Marvel itself got so impressed with this product that they have decided to bring it to Marvel. Even though there’s not much detail available regarding this project, let’s take a look at some of the astonishing details about Deadpool 1 and 2.
