Deadpool is a 2016 American superhero comedy film directed by Tim Miller, produced by Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg, and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, based on the Marvel Comics character Deadpool. It is the eighth installment in the X-Men film series, and stars Ryan Reynolds (who also co-produced), Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, Gina Carano, T.J. Miller,Leslie Uggams and Brianna Hildebrand. In Deadpool, Wade Wilson hunts the man who nearly destroyed his life.
Development began in February 2004 with New Line Cinema, but put the film in turnaround in March 2005, with 20th Century Foxbuying the rights. In May 2009, after Reynolds portrayed the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Fox lent the film to writers, and Miller was hired for his directorial debut in April 2011. Enthusiastic acclaim from leaked CGI test footage by Miller in July 2014 led to Fox greenlighting the film in September. Additional casting began in early 2015, and principal photography commenced inVancouver from March to May.
Deadpool premiered in Paris on February 8, 2016, and was released on February 12 in the United States in IMAX, DLP, D-Box and premium large format. The film was a massive blockbuster success, grossing over $782 million worldwide and breaking numerous box office records, including becoming the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2016, the highest-grossing R-rated film and X-Men film of all time, and received generally positive reviews. Shortly after its success, a sequel was greenlit by Fox.
