Deadpool 2

Trivia: Deadpool refers to Cable being like Thanos from the Marvel films - both characters are played by the same actor.

Trivia: Spoilers! The end credits feature Deadpool using Cable's time travel device to "fix the timelines." He goes back and saves Vanessa, then travels to X-Men Origins: Wolverine and kills the awful version of Wade Wilson from that movie (also played by Ryan Reynolds). He finally goes and shoots Ryan Reynolds in the head before he appears in the Green Lantern movie. Also in the Blu ray version, he finds a newly born Adolf Hitler and after some working up, decides to kill him (offscreen).

Trivia: A promotional poster for the PG-13 version of this film (Once Upon a Deadpool) was released as a parody of a painting commissioned by the LDS church called "The Second Coming." This was reportedly done in response to the state of Utah - known for the LDS church having unconstitutional influence over its state laws - fining a theater that served alcohol for showing the first film, alleging that it violated state liquor laws by serving alcohol while showing nudity or simulated sex.

Trivia: With a budget of $110 million, Deadpool 2 is nearly twice as expensive as its $58 million predecessor.

Continuity mistake: When Deadpool lies back on the barrels of kerosene, the opening for the drum under his head is shown covered by his back, while the drum under his right arm has its opening near his elbow. In the next shot, the drums have mysteriously turned, with an opening now appearing next to his head, and the one that had been under his elbow, now rotated by 180° near his shoulder. He then flicks a lit cigarette into the air, which is shown to drop into the drum next to his shoulder - except that the drum under his head is the one that explodes first. (00:01:55 - 02:09:00)

More quotes from Deadpool 2

Answer: That's one of his superpowers, "Comic Awareness" (sometimes called 4th Wall or Medium Awareness). This is something that Deadpool has in the comics and was incorporated into the films. Other than being a framing tool and to be funny, I don't know if the creator, Fabian Nicieza, or any writers have said why they gave Deadpool that power.

Bishop73

Deadpool's trait of breaking the 4th wall appears to have been the idea of writer Joe Kelly, as Deadpool didn't break the 4th wall for the first time until Deadpool #28 in May 1999, more than 8 years after his debut.
