Deadpool Red Band Promo The Merc With A Mouth Teases His Own Trailer

‘Deadpool’ Red-Band Promo: The Merc With A Mouth Teases His Own Trailer

This is basically the same trailer intro seen by Comic Con audiences a few weeks ago; the dialogue has been changed a bit, but otherwise it’s the same footage.

Since this is basically a single shot you don’t see very much, but the tone of the teaser gets across exactly what we’re expecting from the film: a little bit odd, with some vulgar jokes and Reynolds enjoying the hell out of wearing that suit. We think that’s Reynolds in the suit, anyway. It could be anyone. It could even be a CG character, as in the proof-of-concept footage that got the movie greenlit. But we’ll accept the idea that it’s Reynolds in that creaky red leather.

We know there are two versions of the Deadpool trailer hitting this week — one all-ages edit, and one red-band cut. We expect the latter to be a lot like the Comic Con promo the above footage originally introduced, or at least very close. Which means you’ll see most of the film’s characters, including Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Colossus.

In the meantime, the promo’s YouTube page even has a little song for fans, and you can check out some other Deadpool images here and here.
