It wouldn’t be unfair to say that the villains were arguably the least important part of Fox’s two Deadpool movies. A much heavier focus was placed on the title hero’s irreverent, self-aware, foul-mouthed and fourth wall-breaking antics, so much so that the first installment’s bad guy Ajax was largely reduced to a running joke where Wade Wilson deliberately antagonizes the man who unleashed his latent mutant powers by repeatedly calling him Francis.
You could even make the argument that the sequel didn’t really have much of a villain at all, with duties being assumed at various points throughout the story by Josh Brolin’s Cable, Julian Dennison’s Russell, Eddie Marsan’s head of the Essex Home for Mutant Rehabilitation and the CGI Juggernaut who was brought to life by Ryan Reynolds himself.
