In the beginning of the film, Deadpool spoofs a much maligned scene from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), saying that he was "fighting a guy in a cape until I found out both our moms were named Martha". Later in the film, in his first exchange with Cable, he quotes "I'm Batman". So Wade = Batman, Cable = Superman, and they both fight each other throughout most of the film but team up in the end to take down a bigger, unstoppable threat. Also, one of them ends up dying and the other brings them back to life, although unlike Justice League (2017), it doesn't take them a whole other movie to do it.

On Monday August 14th 2017, stuntwoman Joi "SJ" Harris died in a motorcycle accident after losing control and crashing into Shaw Tower. Harris, the first African-American female professional road racer, was working on the film as a stunt performer for the first time and had only joined the production a week before. Harris was not wearing a helmet because the character she was portraying, Domino, does not wear one in the scene, and there had not been time since she joined the film to create one for her to fit under the Domino wig. She had two full days of rehearsing the stunt as well as five more attempts on the day of the fatal collision. Veteran stunt double Melissa Stubbs had been available and willing to do the stunt, but the inexperienced Harris was preferred due to her skin color being similar to Zazie Beetz. This decision was criticized by multiple stunt professionals, with many noting that Harris' experiences racing motorcycles did not necessarily qualify her as an able stunt performer. Production was shut down immediately after the incident, but resumed after two days. With this news also came reports that the film crew were "enduring very long hours" and were "exhausted by the schedule", with Fox studios confirming that some days had increased from the scheduled 12-13 hours filming to over 15 hours. The films credits include a dedication to the stuntwoman, "In memory of Sequana Harris".
