20th Century Fox released a few new images from the next highly anticipated Deadpool, featuring several official looks at the Merc With A Mouth and a few mutants we’ve never met before in the Fox/Marvel X-Universe (that what I’m calling this movie universe).
The new images come from Entertainment Weekly’s bonus issue for San Diego Comic Con. The official images show T.J. Miller as Weasel, Ed Skrein as Ajax, Gina Carano as Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand in-costume as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Morena Baccarin as Copycat.
You may also notice a picture with Reynolds’s Wade Wilson out of costume. Fans of the character know Deadpool to be horrifically scarred, which is why they prefer to never ever EVER see him outside of the red and black tights. Pesky paparazzi pics have previously shown Reynolds in scar make-up, so we can assume the picture below takes place before the scarification, courtesy of the Weapon X experimentation.
You may want to pay attention this Saturday when 20th Century Fox hold a panel at SDCC as more details will likely surface then.
I’m not a regular Deadpool reader, but I was just as excited (and later enraged) when he was misrepresented so unjustly in the first Wolverine movie in 2009, where Wade Wilson made his character debut. Ryan Reynolds was a perfect match for the character and did Wilson well. I’m glad he’s getting a second chance to do right by the character and his fans.
Deadpool hits theaters on February 12, 2016.
