solo flick showed the studio profanity - laced, R - rated
superhero films could be successful, giving rise to 2017's Logan and now, Deadpool 2.

superhero flicks, including The Avengers: Age of Ultron, both Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and
solo vehicles like Captain America: Civil War, Iron Man, and Thor: Ragnarok.
