In advance of San Diego Comic-Con, 20th Century Fox (through EW) has released a brand new photo of Ryan Reynolds as the Merc with a Mouth in "Deadpool."
"Deadpool" will follow the nontraditional, fourth-wall breaking and foul language speaking adventures of Wade Wilson, who is left with disfigured skin but superhuman abilities after a rogue experiment. With his new abilities and a dark sense of humor, Deadpool is on a mission of vengeance against those that destroyed his life.
Ryan Reynolds stars as the titular character, somewhat reprising his role from "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," though that film has been retconned from existence thanks to the time altering events of "X-Men: Days of Future Past." Also starring is TJ Miller ("Silicon Valley") Morena Baccarin ("Gotham") and Ed Skrein ("Game of Thrones").
The film will also feature the mutant Colossus and a possible cameo from Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Tim Miller will be directing a script from "Zombieland" scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wenick. Die-hard fans will be happy to know that the film has been confirmed as rated R.
"Deadpool" will hit theaters in February of 2016.
