WhileX-Men: Apocalypsehas already been confirmed as part of 20th Century Fox’s epicHall Hpanel on Saturday, July 11, we have not yet heard who else is participating inComic Con 2015. Well,Ryan Reynoldsis a safe bet. And he’ll probably be bringing the very first official footage fromDeadpool. Perhaps we’ll even see the first trailer. To celebrate the impending event, we have a brand new look at the actor in costume, courtesy ofEW. We also have three Funko Pop exclusives that will be available only atComic Conin anticipation of this Marvel mutant spinoff. Folks who attend the panel might find themselves getting a little extra attention fromRyan Reynolds, who wants to plant a giant kiss on all the fans that made this possible. He expresses the following.
“And not just a little kiss, but full on the mouth, sloppy, with tongue, for two straight minutes on live television, without commercial interruption. And then I’ll buy you dinner at Red Lobster, at least, and dessert.”
Ryan Reynoldshas wanted to makeDeadpoolfor years, first appearing as the merc with the mouth inX-Men Origins: Wolverinemore than 6 years ago. It wasleaked test footage, and the fans' response to it, that even made the film possible. The movie will keep the comic book’s violent nature intact, and is promised to beR Rated. Producer Simon Kinberg goes onto explain more.
“Deadpool is a hard R. It’s graphic. Nothing is taboo. You either commit to a truly outrageous boundary-pushing kind of movie or you don’t.”
Tim Miller, who makes his directorial debut on the movie, likens the film to the work of authorChuck Palahniuk.
“I feltFight Cluband Tyler Durden were good corollaries. We are in strip clubs and dive bars and crappy apartments and far away from the shiny X-Men world.”
Deadpool will be the first of three X-Men movies hitting theaters next year, arriving just in time for Valentine’s Day. It will be followed by the franchise sequelX-Men: Apocalypsein May, and then the spinoffGambitin October, which is headlined byChanning Tatum. You can take the latest look atRyan Reynoldsas Deadpool in the photo below, along with some of the fun toys he’ll be bringing toComic-Con.
