Trivia: Both of Ryan Reynolds' and Blake Lively's children have cameos in the film. Olin Reynolds plays Babypool and Inez Reynolds plays Kidpool.

Trivia: Matthew McConaughey voices cowboy Deadpool.
Trivia: Elektra's dismissive "it's fine" response to Daredevil's death is a nod to her and Ben Affleck's failed relationship.

Trivia: SPOILER: On its opening weekend alone, this became the highest grossing film of Wesley Snipes' career. Prior to its release, he had never appeared in a movie that made at least $100 million at the domestic box office.
Trivia: This film set the record for the highest opening weekend box office for an R-rated film, with $211 million domestically, shattering the $132 million record set by the first Deadpool film. This also gave it the 6th largest opening weekend in history, regardless of MPAA rating. It is also the second R-rated film, after Joker, to gross $1 billion globally, as well as the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
Trivia: SPOILER: When the Henry Cavill version of Wolverine attacks Deadpool, the way he pops out his claws is similar to how Henry Cavill "reloaded" his arms during the bathroom fight scene of Mission: Impossible Fallout.
Trivia: SPOILER: Ryan Reynolds personally called Wesley Snipes to ask him to come back to play Blade. Snipes said prior to that phone call, he didn't think his return was possible. Snipes also said he had a better understanding of Reynolds' style of humor while making this film, which made for a more enjoyable experience as opposed to the tension it caused between the two while filming Blade: Trinity.
Trivia: Ben Affleck was spotted on set during filming, which led to speculation that he would be appearing as Daredevil, particularly as it was already confirmed by the studio that his ex-wife Jennifer Garner was returning as Elektra from the 2003 Daredevil film and its self-titled 2005 spin-off. It turns out Affleck was just visiting her and their children, as they still have a great co-parenting relationship.
Trivia: Halle Berry stirred up rumors that she would be appearing in this film, when, during its production, she posted an image of herself on social media sporting a Storm-like hairstyle. Berry told ComicBook.com that Ryan Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, asked her if she was interested in appearing in the film, to which Berry affirmed, but that Reynolds himself never approached her. Berry's aforementioned hairstyle was seemingly for the Netflix film, "The Union."
Trivia: Spoiler: Wesley Snipes appears in this film as Blade for the first time since 2004's Blade: Trinity, which co-starred Ryan Reynolds. Snipes reportedly had a contentious relationship with almost everyone while working on that film, to which Reynolds said in an interview afterward that he couldn't see himself working with Snipes again. Snipes actually took to social media just a few days before this film was released to address secondhand statements about him by an acquaintance of Patton Oswalt.
Trivia: Dafne Keen has said she had a hard time keeping a straight face any time Channing Tatum was using his Gambit accent.
Answer: In addition to knowing he's a character in a movie, Deadpool likes to fancy himself as a superhero, and the mask is part of his branding.
