Wanna get f**ked up?

Wanna get f**ked up?

Aside from Ryan Reynolds’ hilarious turn as the Merc with a mouth, Deadpool became a box-office smash that was beloved by film fans because the supporting characters were all superb.

Not only did we get characters like Ajax and Negasonic Teenage Warhead – “what the shit? That’s the coolest name ever!” – we also got to know some of the people that Deadpool would consider to be close friends and like all good mates, he absolutely tortured the living hell out of them.

It’s going to smell like old lady pants in here again because the most famous roommate in comic-book cinema is returning for Deadpool 2.

In case you don’t know, Blind Al -as Deadpool puts it – is “like Robin to my Batman, except she’s old, and black, and blind. And I think she’s in love with me. Wait, pretty sure Robin loves Batman, too.”

The last time we saw Blind Al was before the climactic battle in Deadpool, but before that, we absolutely loved the scenes where she’s grilling Deadpool about his tiny T-Rex hands.

Since the end of the film, we reckon that she has spent her time assembling Ikea furniture! Good news though because she’s back, as revealed by Ryan Reynolds’ Facebook account.

Aside from Blind Al, Deadpool’s trusty driver Dopinder (Karan Soni) is also set to return to get plenty of crisp high-fives.

The sequel is being helmed by John Wick director David Leitch and Josh Brolin will be playing Cable.

Hashtag drive by.
