Your support makes all the difference.With the release of Deadpool nearing, Fox has decided to release umpteen new clips, trailers and TV spots, revealing yet more footage from the R-rated flick.
In the latest snippet, released to Twitter, much of footage repeated, all of which is seemingly unremarkable except for one quick shot. *Mild spoilers ahead*
Just four seconds in there’s a quick shot of the X-Men facility, with Colossus walking towards Blackbird - one of the superhero team's main forms of transport. The ship is then seen flying off into the distance.
We already knew there would be some ties to the X-Men films within Deadpool, but this seemingly shows the directors had very little hesitance in using stuff from the main series.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you, Wilson. #Deadpool #XFiles https://t.co/hqghruxw48
— Deadpool Movie (@deadpoolmovie) January 25, 2016 In the lead-up to the film’s release, a number of misleading posters hit the internet, all pointing towards Deadpool being a rom-com rather than an action flick.
The comic books, on which the film is based, portray the Merc with a Mouth as a wise-cracking, fourth-wall breaking anti-hero - not so much the romantic type.
It has previously been confirmed that Stan Lee will cameo in the film “in a way you’ve never seen before”, the comic book writer having cameoed in almost every recent Marvel film to date, minus Fantastic Four.
Deadpool hits UK theatres 10 February.
