10 Split-Second Movie Shots You Will NEVER Forget

Promotions for Deadpool 2 leaned big into the fact this sequel would introduce the iconic superteam, X-Force. Based on the trailers, it looked like Pooly-D's mutant squad would kick some serious ass.

But in typical Deadpool fashion, X-Force's live-action debut was deliberately anticlimactic. As the group prepare for their first mission, each of them are killed off in brutal and hilarious fashion.

However, the most notable death goes to the invisible superhero, the Vanisher. After Deadpool's unseen teammate gets fried to a crisp by an electric wire, we get a shot of the Vanisher's mug, revealing he's played by Brad Pitt.

Interestingly, the Vanisher's identity was never revealed in the original script. But during rewrites, the creative team thought the character's death was a perfect opportunity to throw in an A-list cameo. Since Brad Pitt was already interested in working on the movie and was regarded as "the hardest get in Hollywood", the Oscar-winning actor fit the bill perfectly

Despite the fact Deadpool 2 is loaded with jokes, the Vanisher gag is the best one, despite lasting a quarter of a second.
