The easiest way to watch Deadpool movies in order is to watch Deadpool, Deadpool 2, then Deadpool & Wolverine. However, fans can give deeper into Deadpool's cinematic lore by watching the character's first Marvel movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The controversial X-Men Origins: Wolverine took many liberties with the character, leaving many fans disappointed by Deadpool's live action debut. It shows Ryan Reynolds as Wilson, a katana-wielding mercenary who s William Stryker’s Team X, along with Wolverine. However, Wilson becomes a victim of Stryker’s experiments and is transformed into Weapon XI. While Weapon XI had Deadpool’s incredible healing factor, he did not have his characteristic red suit or any of his quick-witted charm.
Fortunately, when the X-Men timeline was reset in Deadpool was eventually green-lit with Ryan Reynolds returning for an ultra-faithful version of the Marvel comic book character. This R-rated movie captures Deadpool in all his vulgar, foul-mouthed glory, telling the tragic, bloody, and surprisingly humorous story of a man whose experimental cancer treatment leaves him mutilated and with an unparalleled healing factor.
It wasn’t long before Reynolds reprised his role as Deadpool in the short film Deadpool: No Good Deed to tease Logan in some theaters, given that Deadpool has always tried to steal Wolverine’s glory. It was soon followed by the release of Deadpool 2, which introduced Josh Brolin’s Cable as he, Deadpool, and X-Force go on a zany time-traveling adventure to save humanity.
During the holidays, 20th Century Fox also released a PG-13 version of Deadpool 2, Once Upon a Deadpool, to allow a broader audience to see the film. After that, Deadpool’s fate was left uncertain as Disney acquired 20th Century Fox. Fortunately, the studio opted to bring Deadpool into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with Reynolds teasing the decision in the promotional short film Deadpool and Korg React. Disney celebrated its acquisition of the franchise by making Deadpool and Deadpool 2 the first R-rated movies available to stream on Disney+ and giving the greenlight to Deadpool & Wolverine.
