In what year was Deadpool 2 released?

The story behind the answer

Deadpool 2 was released in 2018.

The film is the sequel to Deadpool, the 2016 superhero comedy centered on Wade Wilson. Ryan Reynolds returns as the wisecracking mercenary, who becomes involved in protecting a young mutant named Russell Collins from the time-traveling soldier Cable.

Deadpool 2 was directed by David Leitch, whose earlier work included action films such as John Wick and Atomic Blonde. The cast includes Josh Brolin as Cable, Zazie Beetz as Domino, and Morena Baccarin as Vanessa. Its story combines superhero action, time travel, comedy, and frequent references to other X-Men films.

The release year can be confused with 2017, when Logan arrived, or 2019, when Dark Phoenix was released. Deadpool 2 is part of the Fox-era X-Men film continuity, although its tone and self-aware humor distinguish it from most earlier entries.
