'Deadpool 2' Adds 'Hunt For The Wilderpeople' Star

While “Deadpool” made big piles of money, and was declared the proof of concept that you could step well outside the superhero sandbox, take a risk, and have it pay off handsomely, let’s just say the movie wasn’t for me. I have very little interest in the follow-up, but now Ryan Reynolds and co. have provided one reason I might watch the sequel one day, even if it’s on an airplane.

The actor has revealed on Instagram that Julian Dennison, star of Taika Waititi‘s terrific “Hunt For The Wilderpeople,” has joined “Deadpool 2.” No word yet on who the actor will be playing, but he joins a cast that includes Josh Brolin, Zazie Beetz, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, and Leslie Uggams, who are all being directed by David Leitch (“John Wick“) who takes over from Tim Miller. Even more, the casting of Dennison has earned the seal of approval from Waititi himself.

“Deadpool 2” opens on June 1, 2018.
