20th Century Fox "Deadpool," the irreverent superhero flick starring Ryan Reynolds in the title role, was a surprise blockbuster hit in 2016, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. "Deadpool 2," opens to similar hopes this weekend. We welcomed "Deadpool 2" director David Leitch to the Salon Talks studio earlier this week, where he broke down Deadpool's audience appeal and how he maintained a balance of comic and emotional moments in this highly-anticipated sequel. You were brought in to replace the director from the first movie, Tim Miller.
