Deadpool 2: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

7. The Vanisher

He may only be on-screen officially for a matter of seconds, but The Vanisher is pretty much the best gag in Deadpool 2, and the fact that they got Brad Pitt to play him for such a throw-away performance is nothing short of incredible.

The set-up of having the invisible mutant teased up until his death makes the pay-off even more incredible as you get the sense that something may be about to happen without any sense of what could.

When the Avengers: Infinity War had to make such conscious provisions to protect spoilers before release, the fact that nobody knew about Pitt's cameo is also very impressive. And he's now taken over from Matt Damon as the best comic book movie cameo of all time.
