As you might expect, Deadpool isn’t going to let the Super Bowl go by without a quip and a snide comment – although one that it has to be said that feels like it was carefully picked not to be too offensive. With the movie due out this week, the Big Game was the perfect opportunity to showcase the X-Men character’s unique brand of superhero-antics.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.’
The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein. It’ll be in cinemas in February, but enjoy the trailer below.
I’m sure that when you opened your presents this morning, there was a nagging sadeness in your soul, wishing that someone had given you a trailer for a movie about a wise-cracking sort-of-superhero, who’s taking the X-Men franchise in a rather different direction. Well, don’t worry, because now we’ve got one for you!
Over the years a Deadpool movie was in the works many fans were worried that the notoriously sarcastic, rude and violent character would get toned down and made family friendly, much as he was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
A few weeks ago – and after several years in development – the planned Deadpool movie finally got the greenlight from Fox. However with only about a year until the release, there’s still a lot to do, not least pull the cast together.
Haywire star Gina Carano is attached to an all-female version of The Expendables (well, it’s not an official spin-off, but it does want to bring together a bunch of women for some all-action fun). The movie doesn’t currently have a title though.
