Changes: Marvel's Deadpool: The Second Coming (Earth-113599)

Revision as of 23:04, 30 March 2021

Marvel's Deadpool: The Second Coming is a 2016 live-action superhero film produced by 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios based on the Marvel Comics anti-hero, Deadpool. It is the overall seventeenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the first film of Phase 3. It was released worldwide February 12th 2016.

Production

Plans for a sequel to Deadpool were being discussed by Ryan Reynolds, Tim Miller, and Marvel Studios before the first film was even released. Discussing heavily the idea of using the X-Force character Domino in some capacity. After its massive success the sequel gained significant traction and was announced by Kevin Feige to be coming sometime in early Phase 3. This release date was eventually narrowed down to 2016 as production began. Though the official date of February 12th was only confirmed during Comic Con 2015 when the MCU's official Phase 3 slate all the way to 2019 was revealed along with the sequel's title The Second Coming.

During development and a large portion of Pre-Production the character Deadpool was planned to appear in the succeeding film Captain America: Civil War with Scarlett Johansson reprising her role as Natasha Romanoff to cameo in The Second Coming in order to help set the stage for it. When 20th Century Fox however, allowed the rights to Spider-Man to join the MCU, he was instead opted to be in Civil War taking Deadpool's place and Black Widow's cameo was scrapped in addition to a new end credits scene being filmed to replace an the original that would've teased Civil War. This caused friction with Director Tim Miller who claimed he wanted Deadpool to be more involved in the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe sooner rather than later. Marvel and Fox tried to come to a compromise but Miller wasn't interested in negotiating and walked from the project.

Fortunately, Kevin Feige was able to get in contact with David Leitch, who was on the directing shortlist for the first Deadpool movie and free to helm the The Second Coming, adapting the majority of Miller's script while complying with Marvel's plans. Principle filming began in early 2015 and the sequel was released on schedule.

 ==Plot==
-The movie starts with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmFINBh8208 this] song playing in Andrew Anderson's earbuds while he rides on his bike through a suburban neighborhood alongside his friend, Katy, blissfully enjoying life. They eventually stop outside of a house and knock on the door, a young woman named answers it saying she doesn't like to be bothered. Andrew reveals he and his friend are Jehovah's Witnesses and ask if she has time to hear the good word. The woman tells Andrew to take a hike, she doesn't care about him or his "secret sex lips". Katy insists that they have literature if she doesn't want to talk right now and tries to hand her a pamphlet but accidentally drops it. The woman then simply slams the door in Andrew and Katy's faces.
-They both then start walking back to their bikes, still optimistic, until the camera shows a group of undercover A.I.M. Agents in the neighborhood testing out a regenerative compound called Chemical X07 while a tech support Agent named Bill talks them through it. One of the A.I.M. Soldiers though slips on a discarded banana peel and accidentally releases too much resulting in a massive explosion that levels the entire block. Andrew's singed skeleton lays on the ground until he begins miraculously regenerating into a hideous monstrosity (His face not shown). He looks around seeing everyone around him including Katy dead and begins to cry. Andrew then looks up seeing the woman from house before without a scratch on her and his crying suddenly begins turning into laughter.
-The intro plays revealing the title '''DEADPOOL: THE SECOND COMING'''
-Eight years later, Deadpool is in Tokyo sitting on a rooftop where he looks into the camera telling the audience he's gone international since the first movie doing independent mercenary work. That surprisingly being unkillable gives you a pretty distinct advantage in the field. Speaking of which, his latest contract is waiting. Deadpool then pulls out a phone and calls a Yakuza gangster inside another building. The gangster picks up and Deadpool taunts him by claiming it's Gladys calling and that he's going to need to reschedule the anal bleaching appointment. The Gangster responds angered that the notorious "big dicked Merc with the Mouth" has a contract on them, but insists his unbroken kill streak ends tonight. Deadpool tries to look at the gangster's business card but after seeing the Calligraphy insists he isn't even going to try and pronounce that, and then replies by saying he might not speak Japanese, but he took French in middle school and proceeds to say "Je ne parle pas français" which Wade insists literally translates to ''I will murder you by choking you with your own dick''. Deadpool then jumps down and glides in through the window fighting all the Yakuza thugs in their bathhouse, effortlessly slashing them down with his swords.
-==Trivia==
-*Andrew Anderson is Madcap's true identity only within the Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity. As his real name on Earth-616 has been unrevealed. David Leitch explained that specific name was chosen to be a similarly snappy and alternative first and last name as '''W'''ade '''W'''ilson is.
-*The Revengers are based on a team that appeared in Marvel Comics lead by Wonder Man, consisting of superheroes who were embittered with the Avengers and thought they needed to be stopped.
-*The Whizzer in the comics was a 1940s superhero who shared the same bizarre origin story his MCU counterpart claimed. However, in Marvel Comics he had super speed, not acidic urination. This was changed as to not make him to derivative to Quicksilver, who appeared in [[Marvel's Deadpool (Earth-113599)|Deadpool]].
-*Vanisher in the comics doesn't have invisibility of any kind, he instead is able to teleport himself or other objects at will.
-*Domino in the source material has a black mark branded over her eye. However, the MCU counterpart bares a similar white mark over her eye which is revealed to be the result of vitiligo.
-*When Madcap asks who Deadpool is he responds saying "I'm Batman" a popular catchphrase of the DC Comics character by the same name.
-*T-Ray on Earth-616 has a convoluted and ultimately unknown origin story. The Marvel Cinematic Universe origin of him being a leader for the Yakuza is based on the fact in the comics he studied sorcery in Japan.
-*Deadpool mentions in the Gentlemen's Club that if Marvel Studios ever made a movie on Howard the Duck he would join DC Comics. This is a reference to Marvel's first ever cinematic film in history coincidentally based on the character. When asked if a Howard the Duck movie really was in development Kevin Feige staunchly denied it, jokingly claiming they couldn't afford to lose Deadpool over it!
-*Bill is based on one of the Deadpool's recent sidekicks ''Bill, Agent of A.I.M.'' similar to Bob Dobalina in the first film.
-*The D.O.O.M.S.D.A.Y. Device is given that acronym to spoof the common film trope the ''Doomsday Device''. Given to any object that is used to advance the villain's plot or perform some terrible action the protagonist must stop.
-*Deadpool cutting one of Madcap's bullets in half is a reference to one of his well known feats portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in the non-MCU X-Men films. This is parodied by having Madcap shot him more and Wade failing to deflect them the same way.
-*Domino has to save the Yakuza convoy from crashing into a Rand Industries power plant, a company that's owned by Danny Rand or the ''Iron Fist''. Who was slated to get the first season of his Netflix series a month after The Second Coming's theatrical release.
-*Deadpool defeating Madcap by regenerating into his body is a reference to how the characters literally met in the comics. When Thor accidentally disintegrated them both with lightning they healed simultaneously into one another, Madcap becoming one of the many voices inside Wade's head.
-*The film's climax happening at Disneyland is a meta reference to Marvel Studios' being fully owned by the Fox Disney Company.
-*In the first end credits scene, Wade Wilson and Neena Thurman witness a criminal having been stopped by ''Spider-Man''. Who's origin story had already been shown in the second End Credits scene of [[Marvel's Avengers: The Ultron Imperative (Earth-113599)|Avengers: The Ultron Imperative]].
-*The second end credits scene, has Wade's painting be vandalized by the white and pink insignia often shown belonging to the fellow fourth-wall breaking character ''Gwenpool''. Implying she will appear in the third Deadpool film.
