Deadpool's original supporting cast might not have managed to steal every scene they were in (owing to the fact that, y'know, Ryan Reynolds was in the film), it is true that they managed to entertain when they were on-screen.
For Deadpool 2, it actually looks as though their poised to take a greater role, with the latest teaser having shown both Wade's roommate, Blind Al, and Weasel packing heat at various points in its concluding moments.
Also returning is Karan Soni, who'll again play Wade's favourite cabbie from the first film, and it's clear that we'll be getting a fair few laughs because of him.
It's just great to see the film maintain its cast for the second time running, particularly when they were written as sharply as they were in that first cinematic feature. It's not as though they'll be the sequel's highlight - of course not - but seriously, who isn't down to see more of Leslie Uggams rooming it with Wade?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
