The opening scene of Deadpool introduces the Marvel company that created the anti-hero character, displays the names of the director, producers and actors in bold to highlight them, and establishes the comedic tone and genre of the action comedy film through the listed character names and their on-screen actions. It also sets up the mise-en-scene by showing background details and breaking the fourth wall, and introduces the main character by focusing on his bright red suit to make him stand out in the car.
