The long awaited Deadpool seemingly is not going to disappoint. Shown before a packed Hall H, the crowd roared, screamed, clapped avidly following the trailer shown during the panel. It has been hailed by other media as the “best received trailer at Comic-Con” and definitely wow’d the fans, leaving them asking for more. February 12, 2016 cannot come fast enough for them.
Reynolds was not the only member of the team on the panel. Others included co-stars T.J. Miller, Morena Baccarin, Briana Hildebrand, Ed Skrein and Gina Carano as well as director Tim Miller.
“[It’s] the most faithful adaptation of a comic book to a movie I’ve ever seen,” Reynolds remarked. “I’ve only ever done one other proper, actually not proper, superhero movie,” he teased, tossing shade about his less than well received portrayal of The Green Lantern. Not only did he remark about it on the panel, but in the actual film he makes fun of his Green Lantern role as well, through some witty dialog that showed in the trailer.
Ryan Reynolds resurrected the character that was introduced in X-Men Origins: Wolverine in the 20th Century Fox film, Deadpool, but Reynolds wanted the role to remain true to the comic book version of the character, which meant a lot of strong language and profanity would be included. It would also involve high action and violence. He knew that is what fans wanted and even leaked a test version on YouTube which stunned Fox with how well received the test version proved to be.
The trailer released proved the R-rating was standing with high action, violence, a sex scene and a lot of profanity. Following the viewing the audience gave the panel a standing ovation in Hall H and chanted “One More Time!”.
“For one I think it’s an absolute miracle that a studio let us make ‘Deadpool’ let alone a Rated R Deadpool,” Reynolds commented, pleased that Fox gave him the greenlight to move forward after the test leak. The R-rated superhero flick is making history by holding that rating, pleasing fans because it means that the film is likely remaining true to the comic series. The panel also stayed R-rated with strong language throughout.
Reynolds would love to see the Deadpool character return to X-Men and later posed with Marvel’s Fantastic Four and X-Men cast members in photos.
Marvel’s Deadpool script is penned by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and produced by Simon Kinberg, Ryan Reynolds and Lauren Shuler Donner. It will hit theaters February 12, 2016 in the US, February 5, 2016 in the United Kingdom and in many foreign markets February 11, 2016 from 20th Century Fox.
