Even with 2018 being packed with blockbusters – superhero and otherwise – it’s probably safe to say that Deadpool 2 is likely among those that are most anticipated. I mean, not only is it following in the footsteps of its predecessor, which just so happened to be the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time, but it also includes the long awaited live action debuts of Cable and Domino, two cult favorites in the comic book community.
That being said, it was more than pleasing to see Josh Brolin’s Cable featured heavily in the first actual theatrical trailer that dropped earlier today. Aside from having a laugh at the expense of a certain CGI mustache fiasco that occurred recently, we got a fair idea of how the straight-faced Cable will play off the irreverent Wade Wilson – and it’s thus far proven to be pretty freaking entertaining.
Of course, it’s only expected that an international trailers follow suit. In this case, we’re unfortunately left without the colorful language that the Merc with a Mouth is known for, but the general charm is there. On the plus side, though, a few snippets of never-before-seen footage can be glimpsed, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Colossus, among other things.
With the pic is expected to be another big hit for Fox, it’s likely that the genius marketing campaign will continue over the next few months, with another trailer hopefully being a part of that. Next time around, though, perhaps it’s Zazie Beetz’s Domino that should get more of the spotlight, as we’re interested to see how she interacts with the titular character.
Deadpool 2 arrives in theaters on May 18th.
