Can you really have too much of a good thing? Continuing to trumpet what is arguably the first tentpole release of 2016, 20th Century Fox has pumped out another pair of Deadpool TV spots, this time featuring the Merc With a Mouth addressing his international audience.
Arriving hot on the crimson heels of yesterday’s stylish infographic – one which separated friend from foe – the clips are littered with brief slivers of new footage, though if you’re of the mindset that you want to enter theaters next week with a relatively clean slate, we’d advise against watching today’s new snippets.
But there’s plenty of pre-releases plans in place to herald the arrival of Deadpool that don’t involve spoiling much more from Tim Miller’s standalone feature. Case in point: 20th Century Fox is set to stage a special of the film during Sunday’s Super Bowl 50, when Ryan Reynolds’ gun-toting anti-hero steals the limelight from the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers – even if it is just for a moment. We’ll also have our own review of Miller’s R-rated bonaza hitting the site in the coming days, so keep your peepers peeled for that.
T.J. Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, Morena Baccarin and Ed Skrein are among the cast, and Deadpool will finally lay siege to theaters on February 12. Until then, you check out today’s pair of clips below, hot off the presses.
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.
