Reynolds confirmed his involvement with the project after a screen test was leaked on the internet. Reynolds is a fan of the sarcastic superhero, who has surged in popularity in the last few months. Reynolds reprises the role after playing Deadpool in the 2009 film X-men Origins: Wolverine.

Deadpool is Wade Wilson, a man who suffered from cancer. While attempting to fight the illness with chemicals, he is endowed with super powers when something goes awry. Deadpool serves as a mercenary who fights crimes while shattering the fourth wall and addressing his readers. Called an “anti-hero,” Deadpool is impossible to kill due to healing powers. His sarcasm and misanthropy are often attributed to psychosis and mental instability derived from his continually regenerating brain cells.
