10 Best Opening Scenes In Superhero Movies

3. Deadpool

Man Of Steel Opening
20th Century Fox

Deadpool's opening scene was perfect. It took the test footage that was leaked a few years prior, and it expanded it into a glorious scene of ridiculousness that set the bar very high for the rest of the movie.

The movie opens with a car crash suspended in motion and we see a guy burnt with the car cigarette lighter, Ryan Reynolds on a magazine cover, a Green Lantern reference, and Deadpool tea-bagging a guy, all with humourous credits flying past.

It's comic genius that squeezes more hilarious gags into one short scene than most movies do in their entirety. The clip perfectly marries humour with action and that pretty much sums up Deadpool in his entirety. What more can you ask of an opening scene?
