At San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, fans that made it in to the Fox panel in Hall H were treated to their very first look at the Deadpool trailer. Ryan Reynolds has promised they’ll release it in three weeks time as there are still some effects shots they are working on. But, in the mean time, to wet your whistle, here are our top six favorite moments from the Deadpool trailer.
RYAN REYNOLDS IS UNHAPPY WITH GREEN LANTERN FILM
Towards the beginning of the trailer, they tell Wade Wilson, the man who will become Deadpool, about a special procedure that can cure him of his cancer and will also make him into a superhero. As he’s wheeled into surgery on a gurney to receive said procedure, he calls out, “please don’t make the super suit green! Or animated!”
This, of course, is a reference to his time spent as Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern film where he never wore a suit, but it was instead painted on to him digitally.
DEADPOOL IS A TOTAL BAD ASS
The fight choreography and acrobatics are insane and fun to watch. At one point, we see Deadpool leap out of a Suburban and twist through the air in an impossible way, all while wielding his guns. It’s a sort of gun-foo and it’s ripped right out of the comic books.
There are some great moments straight out of the comic that you just know are followed by one-liners in the film, like Deadpool reclining on the ground, a la Burt Reynolds, as a bad guy crawls over some debris only to find our Merc with a Mouth waiting for him, quietly reclining, then shoots him.
Towards the end of the trailer you get this insane moment where he back-flip-twists-rolls-spins through the air in slow motion, fires off one bullet and hits one-two-three dudes in the head. Landing, he breathes in the gun smoke, relishing the smell, then says, “I’m gonna touch myself tonight.”
And that’s just with his guns. It’s even better when he slips out the katanas and wields them at almost superhuman speed.
FUN WITH HIS HEALING FACTOR
It’s well known that Deadpool’s biggest weapon is his healing factor, which allows him to stitch himself back together from pretty much any injury. This includes being decapitated, which we never see in the trailer. But, what we do see, is Deadpool getting shot clean through and then looking through the bullet hole in his arm at the gunman that shot him, exclaiming, “Sunuva Bitch!” You just know that dude’s gonna get it.
COLOSSUS AND NEGASONIC TEENAGE WARHEAD
Colossus looks great. His organic metal skin is shiny and chrome and it’s sectioned exactly like it is in the comics. Plus he’s huge. He towers over everyone, which is exactly what he should do! He hits Deadpool with one fist, knocking him off his feet without even trying.
Then we meet Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. We don’t get much from her beyond her name and Deadpool reacting to it by saying, “Negasonic Teenage …! What the fuck!? That’s the coolest name ever!”
ROB LIEFELD
It’s unclear if Wade Wilson says, “Rob Liefeld” or “Fuck Liefeld,” but at one point in the trailer, he walks by a man that resembles Daredevil creator, Rob Liefeld and says one of those two things. He looks pissed, so we’re leaning towards that latter. Regardless, it’s a hilarious cheer-out-loud moment to see the character Liefeld helped create mention him by name on screen.
BLIND AL and WEASEL
They both make the trailer! And they are both hilarious. You can feel the love/hate relationship between Wade and Blind Al in this simple exchange. As Wade leaves the apartment, he says, “reeks like old lady pants in here.” To which Blind Al replies, “sounds like you have a dick in your mouth.”
One of the best exchanges is between Wade Wilson when he unmasks himself, post-surgery, to Weasel, played by T.J. Miller, who says, “motherfucker, you are hard to look at.” This then kicks off a list of horrible things that Wade Wilson looks like, including, “a testicle with teeth,” “like Freddy Krueger face-fucked a topographical map of Utah,” and finally, “like an avocado had sex with an older avocado.”
