In the spirit of Christmas, we turn our attention to one comic character with a distinct and dark humoristic streak – you guessed it, Deadpool. Fans have been feeding off the breadcrumbs shared in the run-up to the highly anticipated movie, captivating us with fun teasers and intriguing sneak peeks.
A Christmas Countdown with Deadpool
6 days into December unveiled a special treat for fervent Deadpool fans; a gloriously fun annual snapshot. This was just one of many gifts showered upon eager watchers, leading up to the release of Marvel’s unconventional anti-hero movie, Deadpool.
Rolled out over the Christmas month were a series of goodies to keep fans entertained. An outrageously humorous viral video was released, along with a creative poster, an entertainingly animated Ryan Reynolds gif, and a drawing that hinted at the possible appearance of Wolverine. Also revealed was Deadpool’s Christmas wish list, an additional image, an unforgettable Deadpool-themed ugly Christmas sweater, and finally a fascinating script page showing Deadpool locked in combat with Colossus.
“Deadpool” Movie: What to Expect
Set for its grand debut on February 12th, 2016, the film presents an incredible ensemble. Aside from Ryan Reynolds in his role as Deadpool, audiences will also get to see TJ Miller as Weasel, Gina Carano taking up the character of Angel Dust, and Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead along with Morena Baccarin as Copycat and Ed Skrein as Ajax.
Recapping the narrative, Marvel Comics’ Deadpool is no ordinary superhero story. A narrative that sheds light on the life of ex-Special Forces Agent, Wade Wilson, transformed into a mercenary with extraordinary healing abilities after being subject to a rogue experiment. Embracing his new persona, Deadpool, equipped with freshly gained powers and his trademark dark humor, he seeks vengeance on the individual who nearly wrecked his life.
