“Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds surprised fans at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday and premiered the first trailer for his upcoming superhero film.
Fans were so excited about the new footage that Reynolds, who was presenting with director Tim Miller and the rest of the cast, showed the trailer twice. While Marvel and 20th Century Fox have yet to officially release it, the trailer has since leaked online. In it, we meet Reynolds’ Wade Wilson, a man who accepts his cancer diagnosis as fatal, until an organization promises to heal him and turn him into a superhero.
Meet Deadpool: the foul-mouthed, sarcastic funnyman in a red suit.
The very R-rated trailer features Reynolds’ Deadpool mouthing off in all sorts of hilarious ways, something the actor said was a “miracle” to accomplish.
“I think this character inhabits a space in the comic universe that no character can or will ever inhabit,” Reynolds said, according to MTV News. “I think it’s an absolute miracle that a studio let us make ‘Deadpool,’ let alone a rated-R Deadpool.”
“Deadpool” opens Feb. 12, 2016.
