Written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick

  • This introduction is written in short Walter Hill-like bursts. As we read, we see each shot and each cut with each new line. This tactic draws our attention to each part of Deadpool’s iconic superhero suit. 

  • There’s an anticipatory effect in it as we start to piece Deadpool together with each new line. 

  • The script is also written in a serious, utilitarian style, but using hilarious and subversive adjectives (a la ASS-OVER-KETTLE). It’s fun to read and evocative of who this guy is as a witty superhero.
