Deadpool 2 Review: 8 Ups & 3 Downs

3. The Easter Eggs And Surprises

After the first movie claimed to have 100 Easter Eggs, it was inevitable that its follow-up would push the envelope on references and Easter Eggs - particularly because 'Pool's fourth wall breaking powers make him a pop culture gag shotgun firing references every couple of minutes. And there are some great ones in there, from mentions of Stranger Things and the Goonies to frequent MCU gags and obviously the X-Men.

The best thing about it, though, is how many HUGE surprises Leitch and Fox have got in there. Just as Infinity War did so well to protect their spoilers and at least one massive cameo, Deadpool 2 has a cameo the size of Matt Damon's Thor: Ragnarok appearance, some brilliantly funny X-Men appearances and a whole secret cameo (provided you've ignored the marketing teases). And then there's that mid-credits sequence, which might well be the best one in any comic book movie ever.

They're genuinely fan-baiting moments and they'll be what fans talk about for the longest after the credits roll. Just don't expect a post-credits scene.
