Deadpool: No Good Deed

Deadpool: No Good Deed is a three-minute action comedy short in which Wade Wilson spots a mugging in progress and sees a chance to play the hero. Getting into his Deadpool costume takes far longer than the situation allows, and the rescue does not unfold the way he intends.

The short was directed by David Leitch and released in March 2017, serving as a teaser ahead of Deadpool 2, which Leitch went on to direct the following year. It sits between his first feature, John Wick, and Atomic Blonde on his filmography. Rhett Reese, Ryan Reynolds and Paul Wernick wrote the screenplay, with Reynolds playing Wade Wilson and Stan Lee making an uncredited appearance as himself. The production was handled by 20th Century Fox and Marvel Entertainment.

Audience response has been consistently positive: on IMDb it holds a 7.9 rating from roughly 9,300 votes, while on TMDB it scores 7.2 from around 559 votes. The higher vote count on IMDb reflects the short's wide circulation online, where it functioned as promotional material for the larger feature that followed it.
