Is it true? Is the Merc-with-the-Mouth finally getting his (proper) big-screen debut? We hope so! First seen on Collider and then on Kotaku it seems that a test footage is circulating the net. Better catch it before it gets blocked by the powers that be:
With the right wit, humor, action and (possibly) gore, we’re hoping this supposed R-rated film gets done…and gets done right. We’re still reeling from the horrors of X-Men Origins especially what they did to Wade Wilson. Ryan Reynolds is still the Deadpool that I want and if the test footage confirms anything he gets the tone of the character right. The test footage (albeit looking like a video game trailer) presents itself more as a proof-of-concept than anything. Quirky and funny and just overall fun, if done right, Fox, I can probably forgive you for butchering some of the X-Men films.
Here are some screens (in case the video gets taken down):
The scene opens with Deadpool listening (and singing along to Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback girls) then notices you, the viewer.
He talks about his costume for a bit then spots some baddies along the freeway.
You can tell they’re bad guys. I mean, just look at those shades and them grim faces. 😀
Deadpool jumps into the car and well…yeah…all hell breaks loose.
Deadpool feels the luxurious leather upon his um, leather face…mask? I got nothin’.
In the end, guns were shot, bones were cracked, necks were snapped and there’s a cool katana slicing sequence severing a head (not his of course).
And then he bids you farewell and hopes that the movie gets made. I mean, we do too, you crazy mutant you. <3
