It’s here! I wrote about my love for this trailer last month when Director Tim Miller, Ryan Reynolds, and the cast showed up at Comic-Con with the red-band trailer. Of course, this isn’t as long as what they brought, but it’s still great nonetheless. The costume’s great, the jokes are funny, the action is violent, and Colossus is gleefully silly. The panel was one of the highlights of Comic-Con; they expressed how shocked (and thankful) they felt that the studio allowed them to make a hard-R Deadpool film. A lot of energy and passion went into the making of this film, so I’m crossing my fingers that it lives up to the joy I’m feeling right now.
