If I haven't seen the first Deadpool movie will I be lost seeing the second one? The reason I ask is because my friend's son is in it and I like to follow his career, but I'm otherwise not interested in superheroes.
U should know that former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. ( the 1st movie is all about his hunt for the man who mutated him so he can fix it- doesn't work out so, Deadpool2)The mutation also made him look and I quote" like You look like an avocado had sex with an older, more disgusting avocado Not gently. Like it was hate-F*CKing. There was something wrong with the relationship and that was the only catharsis that they could find without violence.." hence the mask. He has pretty girlfriend Vanessa and a room mate Blind Al ( Leslie Uggams!) who puts together IKEA furniture. OH and Deadpool frequently breaks the fourth wall and is beyond a total smart ass. There are some other super heroes he works w too, sometimes. That should bring you up to speed.
