10 Movies Where People Died On Set

2. Deadpool 2

The Crow
Fox

Ryan Reynolds portrayed Deadpool for the first time in 2016 and all fears that fans of the comic book character had were very firmly laid to rest. "The Merc With A Mouth" was not considered an easy transition to the screen between his off-colour humour, frequent vulgarity and fourth-wall breaks, but somehow the film adaptation managed to make it not only work well but exceed all expectations.

Genuinely hilarious and spending every moment on-screen with tongue very firmly in cheek, the film never took itself seriously and was excellent because of it. A sequel was released in 2018 and managed to do well with both audiences and critics again, but this time there was a real-life incident that brought a more sombre mood to the set.

Sequana Joi Harris was a stunt woman standing in for the character of Domino when she lost control of her motorbike, while not wearing a helmet and crashed into a building, killing her outright. As well as being a stuntwoman, she was a professional motorbike racer and notable for being the first female African-American on the circuit.

This second film is dedicated to her memory.
