First full-length Deadpool trailers have fun with the character
Hours before the first two full-length Deadpool trailers hit the Web, my ISP went down completely and stayed down for at least 36 hours (damn you HughesNet). Talk about terrible timing, because the R-rated Marvel movie was made for Ryan Reynolds and has fans going kind of crazy. The casting of Reynolds is perfect, the film and all involved seem pretty self-aware in regards to who the character is and how he should play on screen, and the push for Deadpool to be R-rated was successful. Even before the trailers debuted, after an early “what if” scene was leaked, people seemed 100% on board with the project. I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t grow up reading the comics, but I’m really excited for the movie Deadpool deserves.
Watch both the NSFW (not safe for work) red band trailer and the SFW (safe for work) green band trailer for Deadpool after the jump.
The trailers are almost identical, but this red band trailer has 10 more seconds of harsh language, a bare booty, and a little more action. Check it out:
Now this is how you have fun with a foul-mouthed comic book character without pandering to PG-13 pioneers. Who says you have to make a comfortable 4-quadrant, family friendly film, especially when Deadpool is involved? Not Reynolds, that’s for sure. He and T.J. Miller look like they enjoyed bouncing jokes off of each other, and there’s bound be plenty of crass humor, humping, bloodshed, and bang bang for your buck when the movie hits theaters next year. Granted, the movie isn’t technically a Marvel tentpole wave-maker (it’s produced and released by 20th Century Fox), but that’s OK.
Whether you’re a huge fan of the comics or simply consider yourself curious, here’s a plot synopsis for the Deadpool movie to fill us in on a few details:
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.
Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds, T.J. Miller, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, Ed Skrein, Andre Tricoteaux, and Brianna Hildebrand. The movie makes its way to theaters on February 12, 2016.
And just for fun, here’s an early fan-made poster that Reynolds himself shared, thinking it would have been perfect for the film:
