Spanning from its origins at 20th Century Fox to its integration into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the series follows the chaotic adventures of Wade Wilson, a disfigured mercenary with accelerated healing factors. Known for its self-referential comedy and high-octane action, the trilogy explores themes of found family and redemption amidst absolute carnage.
