So here we are providing you with a list of films which share all the best qualities of the Deadpool series. We know you will enjoy our selection of what we believe to be the best movies like Deadpool that you absolutely must watch! It’s a miracle that Deadpool even exists, let alone that it was a huge hit at the box office and spawned an equally successful sequel, because Fox executives thought it was doomed to fail. Imagine the pitch: a superhero blockbuster with an R rating about a character who isn’t interested in being a hero, constantly talks to the camera, knows he’s in a movie, and enjoys killing people. It must’ve sounded like a sure-fire bomb. But thanks to Ryan Reynolds’ pitch-perfect portrayal of the character, a sharp script, and inventive direction, it became one of the most popular superhero films in recent memory. Here are 10 Superhero Comedies To Watch If You Like Deadpool. When Deadpool hit theaters in February, fans flocked to see the anti-superhero superhero movie. Billed as a controversial X-Men spinoff (reluctantly connected to the current X-Men movie series via two expendable X-Men), Deadpool was the surprise hit of the year. It seemed like it would be in theaters forever, but one Disney smash and superhero battle later, and the movie is nowhere to be found —Deadpool isn't coming out on DVD until May 10. That's right, fans of Ryan Reynolds' dirty-mouthed, fast-talking, blood-lusting superhero will have to wait a few more weeks before they get to take Deadpool home with them. And, while there might not be another movie quite like the R-rated Marvel hit (though that point is debatable), there are still a few films out there with a similar spirit that fans suffering from Deadpool withdrawal can watch. The below are 13 movies to watch if you loved Deadpool. Now, the movies on this list will satisfy fans of Deadpool for very different reasons. Did you only go to Deadpool to see Ryan Reynolds charm the pants off some poor, unsuspecting villain (and a poor, unsuspecting prostitute)? There's a movie for you. Do you want to see how future Deadpool movies might fit into the X-Men movie franchise? There are a few for you, too. When you come across a great film, it’s always a good idea to do some research and check out other movies that are in the same sphere, so to speak. With our If You Liked series we intend to do just that. Each week we’ll be presenting you with a selection of films you’ll love “if you liked” that week’s particular highlighted movie and/or director. This week’s film recommendations are based on everyone’s new favorite Marvel character, Deadpool. Despite having originally been depicted as a supervillain when he made his first appearance in The New Mutants and later in issues of X-Force, over time, Deadpool has evolved into the role of an antihero. Before becoming the character we know today, Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) was a former Special Forces operative who worked as a mercenary. His world came crashing down when evil scientist Ajax tortures, disfigures and transforms him into Deadpool. The rogue experiment leaves Deadpool with accelerated healing powers and a twisted sense of humor. With help from mutant allies, Deadpool uses his new skills to hunt down the man who nearly destroyed his life. Once again, the Merc with the Mouth is sending up superhero movies and referencing all kinds of pop culture, including classic cinema. A lot of the jokes will work best if you’ve seen the marks before you see Deadpool 2. The sequel certainly expect you to have seen all the entries in the X-Men franchise, particularly Logan, the ending of which it spoils in its first few minutes. Other essential titles are less likely to have been seen by much of Deadpool‘s audience. Similar movies like Deadpool ’ve compiled a list of some of these, most of them not directly alluded to by the movie or its title character, and recommend they be seen to better appreciate Deadpool 2 on your next viewing.
