Deadpool 2, which has 84 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing this, opened to fairly decent reviews worldwide on Friday. Critics have lauded Ryan Reynolds' (also the film's co-writer and c-producer) impeccable comic timing in the film, made on a budget of $110 million. Raja Sen in his review for NDTV wrote: "Ryan Reynolds has embraced the filthy mercenary character with (a frankly alarming amount of) gusto, and made Deadpool irredeemably his own. He has solid screen presence and plays well off other, less bastardly heroes around him, but this self-referential film gives you a whole lot of one man."

Deadpool 2 is directed by David Leitch and it also stars Josh Brolin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, TJ Miller, Brianna Hildebrand, Jack Kesy and Stefan Kapicic.
