In 2016, Reynolds found critical and commercial success with Deadpool, a film that had been in development as early as 2000. After portraying Wade Wilson / Weapon XI, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he became heavily involved in the development of a Deadpool film. Deadpool featured a reboot of the character, ignoring the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and establishing a new backstory for the character that was closer to the Marvel Comics source material. Reynolds chose not to get paid from his performance as Deadpool so the film could be released, and spent the “little salary” he had so that co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick would be on set alongside him.[71] The film takes place within the larger 20th Century Fox X-Men film universe, being made possible by the reset timeline in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Deadpool made several box-office records, including a worldwide opening of $264.9 million from 62 markets, which was the biggest of 2016, the biggest for an R-rated film, and the second biggest for Fox behind only Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith ($303.9 million).[72][73] It also recorded the biggest IMAX 2D worldwide opening of all time with $27.4 million from 606 IMAX theatres, eclipsing The Dark Knight Rises ($23.8 million).[74][75] The film’s financial and critical success led the studio to move forward with a sequel.
