Deadpool 2: 12 Rumours That Were Utter Bull
Deadpool in the MCU? Not yet.
You've probably had time to catch Deadpool 2 by now, and in case you haven't heard: the movie's a certifiable hit. To the surprise of few, the superhero sequel has scored consistently positive reviews and passed the $300 million mark in its opening weekend alone.
