Vanisher
The protagonist assembles a group of superheroes known as X-Force and among them is one particular member: Vanisher. In the only scene in which he appears, Vanisher is electrocuted to death by crashing into a street lamp after he had jumped from the plane together with Deadpool and X-Force. This unfortunate event allowed viewers to see for the first and only time the face of Brad Pitt playing Vanisher.

The words of Ryan Reynolds
These were the words of Ryan Reynolds, when at San Diego Comicon he told how he convinced Brad Pitt to take part in the scene: "They told me that all Brad required to make this cameo was a cup of coffee from Starbucks, and I asked 'Is that meant as a whole franchise or as a single cup?'"

The words of Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds continued: "They told me they only wanted one, which is meant as 'I'll do it for free'. It was the best gesture anyone could make. I loved it. What could be more irresponsible than taking one of the brightest stars in the film world and giving him a role where he appears without saying a word and invisible except in three frames of the film?"
