Deadpool (2016), Tim Miller's R-rated film, runs 108 minutes, or 1 hour 48 minutes. It has one sting after the credits, and one theatrical cut with extras on disc, not a longer extended cut. Rotten Tomatoes lists that 1h48m runtime for the February 12, 2016 release in its Rotten Tomatoes listing. Plan for the feature plus previews, trailers and time to exit, and stay through the full roll for the sting.

What does 108 minutes mean for planning?
IMDb's technical specifications list the same 1h48m, 108-minute runtime. That match gives you a firm number for scheduling.
Treat 108 minutes as the feature only, not the outing. Build your buffer around it. The sting plays after the credits finish, so leaving early misses it.
- Start with 108 minutes for the feature.
- Add previews, trailers and exit time.
- Stay seated through the entire roll.
Do you need to stay for the credits?
Yes. Deadpool (2016) has one end-credits sting after the credits finish.
ComicBook.com explains in its ComicBook.com explainer that Deadpool appears in a bathrobe in a hallway and says "You're still here? It's over. Go home." That bathrobe tag copies Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986). Decider describes in its Decider piece the moment as an explicit homage that copies its fourth-wall-breaking post-credits hallway shot.
Which home version should you choose?
For home viewing, 20th Century Fox released Deadpool on 4K Ultra-HD, Blu-ray and DVD on May 10, 2016. ComicBookMovie reporting on the Fox announcement lists deleted and extended scenes, a gag reel, galleries and two commentaries, not a separate extended feature cut.
Do not shop for a longer cut of the first film. CinemaBlend reports in its CinemaBlend report that unlike Deadpool 2, the first Deadpool did not receive an extended Super Duper Cut. The 15-minutes-longer unrated extended edition belongs only to Deadpool 2.
Who can watch it?
In the United States, ComingSoon reporting the MPAA rating lists Deadpool (2016) as R. The rating cites strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity. Viewers under 17 need an accompanying adult in US theaters.
In the UK, DVDfever.co.uk reporting the BBFC decision lists Deadpool as 15 and passed uncut. That status legally affects viewers under 15, who cannot buy or view it under BBFC rules. Check local age rules before you plan a family viewing.
