13 Key Takeaways From The Deadpool Trailer

7) Deadpool Has His Accelerated Healing Powers

That’s gotta hurt! Most likely not for long though, as this shot would seem to confirm that Wilson will have his accelerated healing powers from the comics… unless of course he just has a very high pain threshold, and is happy to continue slaughtering bad guys with a large hole in his arm.

You never know…

8) What Role Will Colossus Play In The Story?

If this big shiny dude looks familiar, that’s because it’s X-Men character Colossus!

Daniel Cudmore played Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin in three previous X-flicks, and though he was asked to reprise the role, he turned it down since the character would be depicted only in his CGI metal form for the duration of the movie. So, actor/stuntman Andre Tricoteux (Seventh Son) was brought in to play the big guy via motion capture. Who we’ll actually be hearing when Colossus speaks remains a mystery, though.

In the original script for Deadpool, Colossus is also hunting Ajax, which brings him into contact (and conflict) with the Merc with a Mouth. The two eventually form an uneasy alliance, but it remains to be seen if that’s how things will eventually play out in the final version.
