Your support makes all the difference.With work on Deadpool 2 in full swing, details have started flooding about what fans can expect from what is sure to be a high-octane follow-up.
Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have confirmed the appearance of not one, not two but three original characters.
The other character who'll return is long-suffering taxi driver Dopinder (Karan Soni) who hesitantly befriends the Merc with a Mouth in the film.
Deadpool has become an unlikely awards contender following its Golden Globe nominations as well as nods from Producers Guild of America and Director Guild of America; it's strongly expected to be named when the Oscar nominations are announced on 23 January - helped somewhat by this 'For Your Consideration' video.
The sequel is being directed by John Wick's David Leitch who replaced Tim Miller after he left the project due to "creative differences." While it looks like it'll feature a lot of characters - including the teased villain Cable - Reese and Wernick have assured fans it'll remain a solo outing.
