He might have already played a tamer version of the character – but this newly-released teaser for the forthcoming Deadpool trailer proves Ryan Reynolds isn’t holding back this time.
The quirky 40-second clip features the actor – in his superhero get-up – attempting to whip fans into a state of excitement by announcing that the full trailer for the Marvel film will be released on Wednesday.
And in keeping with everything we’ve heard so far about the movie being rather more graphic than your average Marvel fare, the clip features swearing, sly references to the more sanitised version of the character – not to mention a healthy dose of sarcasm from Reynolds.
Or, as he puts if: ‘From the studio that inexplicably sewed his f***ing mouth shut the first time, comes five-time Academy Award viewer Ryan Reynolds as a man on an E-Harmony date with destiny.’
