Disney Plus has grown in some very interesting ways over the years. With Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Hulu, and their decision to expand the content available on Disney Plus, some very interesting titles have started trending on the platform as a result. In fact, a hard R-rated movie just started trending on Disney Plus at a rather perfect time.
As of this writing, this particular R-rated movie has just entered the Top 10 streaming movies available to view on Disney Plus. At a time when the streaming platform has access to numerous different titles, including those that belong to some of Hollywood’s biggest franchises, it’s quite impressive to see a R-rated movie climb the platform’s charts.
Of course, as mentioned, there is a reason this particular movie is performing so well on Disney Plus. It’s indeed perfect timing because a sequel to this very film is being prepared to hit theaters. It makes sense, then, that fans would want to revisit the most recent installment ahead of the new sequel’s release.
This particular movie is none other than Deadpool 2 – the 2018 action-packed sequel to the first Deadpool. It’s been quite a few years since that movie was released, with the development of Deadpool 3 slowed down by Disney’s acquisition of Fox. However, it seems to have all worked out, with Deadpool & Wolverine shaping up to be quite the crossover.
Deadpool 2, directed by David Leitch, once again sees Ryan Reynolds as the titular antihero. The film also features Josh Brolin as his partner Cable, straight from the comics, along with appearances from Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz, T.J. Miller, and Brianna Hildebrand among others. It’s a fun sequel that once again managed to properly represent the fan-favorite character Deadpool and those around him.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the latest trending titles on Disney Plus and more Deadpool news as we have it. With Deadpool & Wolverine on the horizon, and no doubt other Deadpool appearances in the works, we’ll have to see what role the character will have next in the franchise. As for now, fans can join in on watching the Deadpool movies ahead of the Deadpool & Wolverine release later this month.
