Scarily scarred wisecracking blade wielding mercenary Deadpool is back to battle ninjas, the shadowy yakuza criminals and a pack of aggressive dogs in this action adventure sequel. Josh Brolin takes on the role of the main protagonist Cable, tasked with kidnapping a prodigiously talented child and Deadpool has to stop that happening – once he’s rounded up all the gluten in the world and sent it into outer space to stop it from hurting people ... As you can gather, the gags and humour are sickly funny and the action is full on, especially since movie director David Leitch is a former stuntman and is happy to push the boundaries. And another sequel, Deadpool 3, is reportedly already in development.
JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM
Four years after the destruction of the Jurassic World theme park, Owen Grady and Claire Dearing return to the island of Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano that’s about to erupt. The sequel to 2015’s Jurassic World which introduced actor Chris Pratt to the Jurassic franchise, is the fifth to be made. The characters (reprised by Jeff Goldblum, Bryce Dallas Howard and Toby Jones) soon encounter terrifying new breeds of gigantic dinosaurs while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the entire planet.
