Deadpool 2: Every Major Character's Best Moment

8. Domino's Lucky Introduction

Fox

From the moment she shows up, Domino (Zazie Beetz) is locked into a never-ending argument with Deadpool about whether or not luck is a superpower, something she decisively proves to the audience in her first action scene.

During the hilarious X-Force parachute sequence, Domino is unfortunate enough to land in the middle of heavy traffic, but she crosses the road without giving it a second thought, in her negligence causing a car accident behind her, which results in a car crashing into a gas station and exploding it into a gigantic fireball.

As Domino gets ready to join the fight, a car parked at the gas station is catapulted over her head, and again, she doesn't even blink, while Deadpool continues to insist that the power of luck is "hard to picture" and "not very cinematic."

The CGI in this sequence may be pretty rough, but in terms of selling the audience on the potential of her unique ability, it was incredible. Her ultra-lucky murder spree in the orphanage came close - largely thanks to that wardrobe decapitation - but the knowing absurdity of her intro just barely clinches it.
