Jokes, sex, violence; the Deadpool trailer has landed

The full-length trailer for this superhero film is finally with us and it does not disappoint.
Deadpool has been a long time in development, only getting the green light thanks to insane fan reaction to Ryan Reynolds’ test footage. The character is the spectacularly violent, foul-mouthed, dirty minded alter-ego of Wade Wilson, who acquired special powers after being subjected to experimentation in the search for a cancer cure, is the definition of anti-hero and understandably not an easy sell.
But judging by the trailer, 20th Century Fox could be onto a real winner, despite, or in fact because of, the R-rated material. Our first glimpse of the film is not short on the blood and action, as well as some zinging one-liners.
In an exchange with Wilson about his scarred appearance, Weasel hits him with “you look like Freddy Kruger face-fucked a topographical map of Utah” and “you are haunting. You look like an avocado had sex with an older avocado.” If the script contains more of this, we’ll be very happy indeed.
Deadpool is released in the UK on February 5th 2016 and we are definitely looking forward to it.
