Quote: “You’ve met god…and he’s a dick?”- Guy

Fun Facts: There are a lot of cameos in the film including Alex Trebek’s final appearance before his death. 

The original release date was 07/03/20

To promote the film, Ryan Reynolds released a video of Deadpool (played by Reynolds of course) and Korg (a MCU character played by Waititi) reacting to the trailer.

A lot of stuff in the background in one scene is not cgi.

Summary: An ordinary guy discovers that he is actually a background character in a video game.

The Review: Ryan Reynolds has somehow come from a R Rated Deadpool and made it into a toned down action comedy that takes place in a game that’s Grand Theft Auto and Fortnite combined. Also, you may be looking at NPC (non playable characters) differently once you enjoy this hilarious comedy, all from the mind of Shawn Levy.

There’s lots of easter eggs in the movie, try to spot them as much as you can.

Kath Soucie was gonna reprise her role as Lola Bunny, but at the last minute, Zendaya takes the role.

The director of the original Space Jam didn’t like the movie.

The Review: This is why Nolan is one of the finest movie directors of recent times, as the film was one of THE action movie (especially for the diehard Batman fans out there).
