Like Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool surpassed even the most optimistic box office predictions. Guardians of the Galaxy star, Chris Pratt, is sharing his own admiration for R-rated Marvel superhero film. He described it as "twisted, dark, funny & fun!" The successful movie is the origin story of Wade Wilson, a former Special Forces operative turned mercenary, who after being part of a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool.
