The original Deadpool wasn't afraid to mock everything from Professor Xavier to Ryan Reynolds himself, and the sequel will retain this brand of meta-humour and apply it to the current superhero movie scene.

In an interview with /Film, producer Simon Kinberg stated that "Deadpool 2 will comment on anything that’s happening in movies today especially in superhero movies... the sort of glut or saturation of these movies and the proliferation of sequels is definitely something we’ll play around with.”

Since the first Deadpool was not afraid to make jokes about anything, this doesn't come as a huge surprise, but it does inform us that - perhaps in a similar manner to 22 Jump Street - Deadpool 2 will mock the idea of sequels, with a specific focus on those within the comic-book genre.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
