Stop The World! Watch The New DEADPOOL Trailer Right Now!

Following the riproaring thunderstorm of residual uber-excitement stemming from reactions toward the epic Comic-Con trailer for Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice in July, and with the exception of the stellar reception drawn from Warner Bros.'s Suicide Squad, it became quite clear that topping these would not be an easy feat. And then came Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, swords, brown pants, vehicular manslaughter and frontman Ryan Renyolds solidly in his element as the titular "merc with a mouth" in what can easily be deemed as the next level in Marvel superhero movie fandom.

I speak of the latest official trailer for director Tim Miller's long-awaited comic book adaptation, Deadpool, based on a character created by Rob Liefield and well into a decade in the works for the big screen, and it's easy to understand the delight and resolve being felt in the air right now. Years of worry over a PG-13 rating have nearly disuaded the fanbase from even supporting the movie in that state, and it took the power of the internet to stop that from happening, and gladly all that has changed in due time.

SYNOPSIS:

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.

Actresses Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano and Brianna Hildebrand, and actors Ed Skrein and T.J. Miller round out the cast woth a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and fight and stunt coordination by Netflix series Daredevil action choreographer Philip J. Silvera.

It's also worth noting that Renyolds won't be taking on another superhero property after this with the exception of a hopeful Deadpool sequel or a possible addition to the studio's currently-developing X-Force movie. So, yes - this is one to appreciate, and no less, support. February 12, 2016 is the date, bitches, so bring friends.

Watch the brand new red-band trailer below, and expect the trailer to play in front of Fantastic Four in theaters this weekend!

DEADPOOL Wraps!

Well, six years after playing him in X-Men: Orgins, eight months after confirming his role and just three months since principal photography began, actor Ryan Renyolds has annouced completion of director Tim Miller's forthcoming adaptation of Marvel superhero, Deadpool. Renyolds himself has largely been the sole occupant of tweets before and during production with any number of set pics and updates interacting with fans on Twitter, with particular interest in at least two young fans who got to meet the actor on set through Make-A-Wish Foundation well over a week ago.

No doubt that being the forefront of the film's active campaign has been beneficial to the production as a whole, and even actor and TV show host Mario Lopez got in on the fun earlier on. The journey to this film's existence hasn't been an easy one though, as it's taken so long to not only get production up-and-running, but to tether it to fans' wishes for an R-rating in an age where you would expect any superhero movie to be PG-13 even if the original material called for something less restrained. We have a lot to be thankful for here, and for this, we're finally much closer to the film's February 12, 2016 release. I suspect a teaser may arrive as soon as late summer or early Fall, but we'll see what happens.

So DEADPOOL Is Getting A PG-13 Rating Eh?

Yeah...about that.

It's been an electrifying time for the production of director Tim Miller's long-awaited feature Marvel adaptation, Deadpool from 20th Century Fox. Actor Ryan Renyolds finally debut the first official look of his titular character in the new film via Twitter this week in ceremonious fashion as things kick off for its release next year on February 12 with a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick which aims to revitalize the character in fresh form long after Renyolds debuted the unmasked role himself with action star Scott Adkins in Gavin Hood's 2009 helmer, X-Men Orgins: Wolverine.

There's plenty more being planned for further advancement of the character with other projects in development, so fans will hopefully approve of what comes next, and it's already looking up considering the positive reception from fans on previously-leaked CG test footage as well as the photos we've so far seen. The cast itself is already drawing some noteworthy attention with T.J. Miller in the supporting role of Weasel, mixed martial artist and actress Gina Carano as Angel Dust, and lead actress Morena Baccarin as Vanessa who is expected by many to also portray her alterego, Copycat, in addition to The Transporter Refueled star, actor Ed Skrein in an unknown role with mentions of possibly playing fellow mercenary Garrison Kane. Of course, all details are pending regarding just exactly how these actors will fit into the script at hand, but all seems well with nearly zero complaints from fans given what little there is to know so far. That said, the official synopsis from the studio is adding even more approval for fans eager for catch this new gem on the big screen.

Sounds pretty tight. Check back for more info on Deadpool, and remember to follow Renyolds on Twitter for more magical moments by the campfire...or not.

 

H/T: The Daily Superhero

Gina Carano Tapped For EXTRACTION And Tim Miller's DEADPOOL

Newfound actress Gina Carano's post-professional MMA career is looking just a bit better and better following films like Furious 6, Haywire and In The Blood. Her latest stint in upcoming heist thriller Bus 657, as well as her forthcoming role in debut actor Alain Moussi's Kickboxer: Vengeance serve as a good milestones to go by, and hopefully we'll learn more about the latter's progress this year now that the local Louisiana crew is being paid in some capacity.

THR reports that the actress is now set to star in two more films: The first is the most recently announced Bruce Willis starrer, Extraction which begins filming in Alabama this month as sales commence in Berlin. Submerged helmer Steven C. Miller is directing from a script by Umair Aleem which focuses on a young CIA operative's mission to rescue his father, a former CIA agent himself, from captivity by terrorists in the wake of constructing a super-weapon called the Condor. Lionsgate is releasing the film through its Grindstone branch upon completion. There are no details yet pertaining to Carano's role just yet.

As for the second of the two, Carano has reportedly been added to the April production of VFX wizard Tim Miller's forthcoming (hopefully R-rated) Marvel adaptation of Deadpool set to release in one year from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Ryan Renyolds will be following up the character after 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in a newly reformed iteration of the character, a cancer patient who gains near-invincible powers following a government procedure. Also starring are actors T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein in undisclosed roles.

The plot of the film itself is under wraps however, but THR reports that the actress will play the role of Angel Dust, a member of the Chicago Morlocks who loses her own powers of super strength and speed in the events leading up to M-Day, when Scarlet Witch causes the near-entire depowering of the mutant  population. This isn't to suggest Scarlett Witch will appear in the film following her appearance this year in Marvel's The Avengers: Age Of Ultron (aside from the character's removal from last year's X-Men: Days Of Future Past as well) as it's just a factoid to hold onto, although THR is also reporting the possibility that fellow X-Men member, superhero Colossus could also be appearing in the film; As for whether or not that means we'll be seeing Daniel Cudmore again after seeing him last year in Days Of Future Past if that is to be the case, it is still uncertain, although it does lend some credence to what Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld said to his audience at Comikaze 2014 last November pertaining to Deadpool's possible merger into 20th Century Fox's X-Verse.

Whatever all this means, at least one thing is certain however: All roads lead back to Carano's growing career in film for which she can now add "starring in a Marvel movie to her accomplishments". It also could be the first of two projects following her announced efforts in 2013 with Liefeld to being Avengylene to the big screen.

Watch this space and stay tuned for more updates!

DEADPOOL: Check Out A Sepia-Toned Glimpse Of The Costume For The Film

The production of debut director Tim Miller's incarnation of Marvel's own "merc with a mouth" Deadpool from 20th Century Fox, is slowly taking shape as the film readies its Vancouver shoot next month. Actor Ryan Renyolds is out and about preparing for what he has thusfar described as a serires of tests as pre-production remains on-going with no word yet on whether or not fans of the character will get the much-desired R-rating.

In my own opinion, industry politics may keep this one at a PG-13 considering the Marvel films of late have thusfar kept all of its titles as family friendly as possible while adhering to the needs of young adult fans. However, as loud as the outcry has been, things could change, and as far as any of us are concerned since co-scribe Rhett Reese's tweet last September, it's too early to draw conclusions. One thing is certain though: Renyolds is ready.

Reese is writing the script with Paul Wernick for the film's release on February 12, 2016.

Ed Skrein In Talks To Star In DEADPOOL With Ryan Renyolds

Think what you will of actor Ed Skrein in place of Jason Statham for the upcoming trilogy reboot, The Transporter Legacy. Sure, it's not Statham, but knowing promise in store for another actor to take the helm in a prequelized setting could open the floodgates for something fresh and even possibly better, particualrly for Skrein's career following his stint on Game Of Thrones.

For this, we now learn that the actor is currently forging a path through talks with 20th Century Fox for the forthcoming first of the studio's three planned X-Men universe movies for 2016, director Tim Miller's Deadpool, starring Ryan Renyolds. We also learn that Transformers: Age Of Extinction co-star T.J. Miller is up for a role, and while the details aren't being made public just yet, report are already hinting that Skrein and Miller may be up for the respective villain and comedy roles, and some sites like Cinema Blend have a few ideas. Needless to say, speculation is all we have until then.

It's another pretty good year for action movies regardless of how you feel, and hopefully many of current expectations will be met with some upworthy reviews. Skrein very well could be the next face of action cinema in the same vein of Statham circa 2002, so hopefully Deadpool will be an extension of that come February 12, 2016.
