The red-band trailer for ‘Deadpool’ arrives in a blaze of glory

Deadpool

Long ago, prophets told of a comic book trailer that would perfectly capture the tone and feel of the comic that spawned it. In the great state of California, people did gather to see it at an annual gathering of believers. Now that footage is here for the world to behold, and there is no going back.

The totally NSFW trailer for DEADPOOL has dropped, delivering on the promise of not only being a hard R-rating, but a very sly, sexy, silly, and slick two minutes and fifty-four seconds of cinematic trailering.

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.

Starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T.J. Miller, Gina Carano, and Brianna Hildebrand, DEADPOOL hits cinemas on 11 February 2016 in Australia and 12 February 2016 from Fox.
