Deadpool 2 opened powerfully with an estimated $125m at the North American box office this weekend, easily ending the three-week reign of rival superhero blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War.

With Ryan Reynolds returning as the snarky title character, Deadpool 2 arrived in 4,349 cinemas through Fox and fell just short of the $132.4m opening gross achieved by the original Deadpool in February 2016.

The sequel – with David Leitch taking over as director and Josh Brolin joining the cast – scored the second biggest domestic opening ever for an R-rated film
