What’s cool is that despite the long wait to see these movies after they’ve hit the US, our friends in Japan get to see some fun cross-promotional marketing featuring Deadpool popping up after the new X-Men: Apocalypse trailer. Even more amusing is that the Merc with a Mouth actually throws some shade on 20th Century Fox.

There must be some kind of award that can be given to Ryan Reynolds for his dedication to promote the hell out of the movie. Sure, he’s contractually obligated to do marketing for the movie, but there are few actors who did this much to promote a project. It just goes to show you how passionate and dedicated he was to make sure an audience saw how much care they put into making the raunchy superhero flick.
While Japan waits to see X-Men: Apocalypse, we’re waiting to get some solid updates on Deadpool 2. However, since the film isn’t slated to start shooting until sometime in 2017, it might be a little while before we hear any updates on the production.
Deadpool is available on home video in the United States and X-Men: Apocalypse is still in theaters.
