15 Best Movie Performances Of 2018 (So Far)

15. Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool 2)

Though you can argue that Deadpool 2 suffered from feeling a little too familiar, it was still a damn fun time, with Ryan Reynolds once again delivering a riotously entertaining performance as the Merc with a Mouth.

Deadpool 2 gives Reynolds a little more to do with the character from an emotional standpoint, and while not all of it clicks perfectly into place, Reynolds' performance is still pretty much pitch-perfect. At once vulgar, charming and totally insane, it's exactly what Deadpool needs to be.

Plus, Reynolds technically pulls triple duty here by also providing the voice for Juggernaut (which was then pitched-down in post-production), and of course, playing himself in that mental post-credits scene.

In every frame of the movie you can tell Reynolds cares deeply about the character, and hopefully he'll successfully recall that passion for the inevitable third movie.
