What is the running time of the 2016 film Deadpool?

The running time of the 2016 film Deadpool is 108 minutes. This theatrical length is commonly listed in film reference sources and corresponds to one hour and 48 minutes.

Deadpool was designed as a fast-moving action comedy rather than a long ensemble epic. Its plot follows Wade Wilson, a former special-forces operative who becomes a masked mercenary after an experimental cancer treatment grants him extraordinary healing abilities.

The film’s compact structure leaves room for an origin story, several action sequences, a romance involving Vanessa, and frequent jokes aimed at superhero conventions. Its R rating also allowed stronger language and violence than earlier X-Men films typically used.

Tim Miller directed Deadpool, which was released in February 2016. Ryan Reynolds starred as the title character, and the film became a major commercial success despite having a comparatively modest production budget.
