Today is Empire’s turn to participate in Fox’s ongoing Advent campaign, “12 Days of Deadpool,” leading up to the Christmas Day release of their new trailer for the upcoming superhero flick, Deadpool.

This one comes on Empire’s twitter account and shows Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, tagging a wall with his iconic symbol. The tweet itself was quoted with “Watch this space,” leading us to believe that there will be more posts to come.

 

Which they did.

At least one more tweet came out on Empire’s wall today — Deadpool’s Christmas list. It’s a brilliant list that proves just how well the filmmakers get this character. Among the highlights on the list “wearable teleporter,” which is a nod to his comic book incarnation who has one, “more pouches” which is a jab at artist Rob Liefeld, “ and “A sewing kit (for my costume not my mouth you jerk!)” — an obvious punch at the Wolverine Origins film.

But quite possibly the best joke is “A new fourth wall for my bathroom (since mine is broken).” You can practically hear the rimshot.

We should all keep our eyes on the Empire twitter today to see just what else our old pal Deadpool has in store of us!

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.
