The 'Deadpool 2' trailer is bloody, explicit, and meta as f*ck

If you've already made one of the most perversely enjoyable superhero movies of the modern era (that too with an R rating), every moment of the sequel is an unexpected bonus. Deadpool 2 goes all-out in its first trailer – sure, they might not make a third one, but these guys seem just fine with that.

Deadpool 2 sees our red-suited red-band hero fighting Cable (Josh Brolin) to protect a young boy (New Zealand's Julian Dennison, basically reprising his role from Hunt for the Wilderpeople). To do that, Wade has to assemble the right team – the X-Force, as he's dubbed it, though Domino (Zazie Beetz) is quick to call that out as derivative.

Along with lots of new mutant shenanigans (including flagrant abuse of one Professor's wheelchair), the trailer also brings back Leslie Uggams and Karan Soni, scene stealers from the first Deadpool.

Will Wade's heroes assemble and save the world? Will they save Ricky Baker? Will they get a third movie??

Deadpool 2 releases May 18.
