Frequently asked about Deadpool 2

Common questions people search for, with answers written by us at MoviesPack.

• Why does Deadpool try to kill himself at the beginning of the film?▾

  Deadpool's girlfriend Vanessa is shot and killed by a gangster seeking revenge on him. Unable to save her despite his healing factor, a guilt-ridden Wade attempts suicide repeatedly, only for his regeneration to prevent him from dying. His self-destructive spiral ends when Colossus brings him to the X-Mansion to recover.

• Why does Cable travel back in time to kill Russell Collins (Firefist)?▾

  In Cable's future timeline, an adult Russell — embittered by years of abuse at the Essex House orphanage — becomes a violent killer and murders Cable's wife and daughter. Cable travels back to eliminate Russell as a child before that path is set, believing it is the only way to save his family.

• What causes Russell to go down the path that Cable is trying to prevent?▾

  The headmaster of the Essex House for Mutant Rehabilitation tortured Russell with electric collars and other abuse under the guise of 'curing' his mutant powers. When Deadpool refuses to help Russell kill the headmaster during their prison escape, Russell feels abandoned and teams up with the Juggernaut instead, setting his violent trajectory in motion.

• How does Deadpool survive the power-suppressing collar and the final confrontation?▾

  While wearing the mutant-suppressing collar, Deadpool has no healing factor and is genuinely mortal, which is why he is badly injured throughout the prison scenes. At the climax he steps in front of Cable's bullet to shield Russell, dying from the wound — but Cable uses the last charge on his time-travel device to go back seconds and slip a compact disc into Wade's chest pocket, deflecting the bullet and saving him.

• What happens in the post-credits scene involving Deadpool's time-travel device?▾

  Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio repair Cable's time-travel device, and Deadpool uses it to rewrite several events: he saves Vanessa from being shot at the start of the film, saves X-Force member Peter from Zeitgeist's acid vomit, and — in comedic fourth-wall-breaking fashion — travels to the X-Men Origins: Wolverine set to shoot that film's 'Deadpool' character and then shoots Ryan Reynolds before he can agree to star in Green Lantern.
