Watch Deadpool's Funny Trailer That Teases an Actual Trailer

"Get ready to blow out your collective sphincters."

17 Comments

20th Century Fox has released a new trailer for its upcoming action movie Deadpool. The trailer below is actually a trailer for a trailer--the full thing is coming tomorrow, August 4.

The video is full of jokes, including self-referential jabs about how silly it is to have a trailer for a trailer. The lighthearted nature is no surprise; after all, Deadpool is a wise-cracking, Hello Kitty-following guy.

The Deadpool movie tells the origin story of the Marvel Comic anti-hero Wade Wilson, who adopts the alter ego Deadpool after a science experiment gone wrong (or right?) gives him unnatural healing powers. He is played by "five-time Academy Award viewer" Ryan Reynolds in the film.

It opens in theaters in 2016, and we'll presumably know a lot more about the direction it's headed tomorrow when the trailer arrives.

In other news about Deadpool, Activision's 2013 video game based on the hero has returned to Steam.

They seem to have learned from their horrible mistakes in X-Men Origins. Maybe it'll be good.

To be fair, it wasn't Ryan Reynolds fault. That was a standalone Wolverine movie and that wasn't Deadpool at all, it was Slade to begin with.

@davillain-: Slade is not Deadpool. Slade is Deathstroke. Deadpool was in that movie, not Deathstroke.

The trailer above even confirms this.

@bdrtfm: The Origins character was Wade Wilson, not Deadpool at that time. He eventually becomes Deadpool, but not during the Wolverine movie.

Can't wait for this badass movie to come out. I just hope it's like the Deadpool game which was funny as hell.

P.S IB4 MovieSpot comments.
