James Gunn posted a   warm message of"enormous congrats"on Twitter to Deadpool 2 ’s mold and bunch on the moving-picture show ’s former success , both critically and commercially . He lauds the sequel for bringing in over $ 130 million at the box situation , although the movie earnedan guess   $ 125 million domesticallyover the weekend . Despite that pocket-sized discrepancy , the moving-picture show hasraked in over $ 301 million worldwidealready , thus ready a newfangled international box office record for an gas constant - rated film . Either way , Gunn is clearly happy for his contemporary , who he ’s congratulate with a drawing of Baby Groot dressed as the Merc with a Mouth . Meet Groot - pool :

Reynolds has yet to answer to Gunn ’s tweet as of Sunday afternoon , but he did respond to a Warner Bros. tweet aboutGreen Lanternin a rare   social media reference to his failed former superhero vehicle . TheDeadpoolfranchise has been a far different story , withDeadpool 2nabbing the secondly - biggest domestic opening weekend ever for an R - order movie - behind only its predecessor .

This is far from the first time that Gunn complimented the success of another superhero movie . He did n’t officially congratulate the   Russo sidekick for the success ofInfinity War , but hedid say the movie was simply"incredible"after an early covering . The hope now is that Groot and Deadpool can have a real crossing in a future movie , since 20th Century Fox could finally hang under Disney ’s umbrella .   The latter and the Guardians of the Galaxy do seem like a natural fit .
