We know we have probably the most

Not exact matches
Deadpool 2 is the perfect sequel, taking the foundation built from the first
film and building onto it, creating not only a
viable franchise, but one of the better comic book movies, and certainly one of the best comic books movies from 20th Century Fox.
Tomb Raider is a good adaptation of its source material and one of the more
viable properties to create a
film franchise from but it stops there.
Amidst those early signs of viewer interest (Blade),
franchise launches (X-Men), moments of director / source material synergy (Raimi's Spider - Man) and 18 or so MCU
films, Deadpool is recognizable as a triumph of perseverance and (baby) hand - in - glove casting, as well as proof that R - rated superheroing is
viable at the box office (which in turn smoothed the way for more serious takes like Logan).
