TJ Miller Shares Lines Too Dirty for “Deadpool” — NSFW
Other movie trailers that will see some air time during Super Bowl are “Alice: Through the Looking Glass”, “Bourne 5”, “Zoolander 2”, and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2”.
“Deadpool” doesn’t even flirt with that lower age bracket, grabbing gory violence, nudity and profanity with both hands before doing pelvic thrusts until you start laughing. The soon to be released origin story, Deadpool, lays out a backstory for Wade Wilson that centres on a cancer diagnosis.
While the experiment cures his disease, it leaves him with a disfigured body and accelerated healing powers. Now he wears red spandex, fights people and makes poop jokes.
“I think kids can go, you know”.
For those who aren’t familiar with the character, Deadpool is a parody of comic book characters – primarily Spider-Man, Wolverine, but mostly DC Comic’s Deathstroke. And “right” means violent, irreverent and hilarious. It’s a smart structure, one that neatly sidesteps the major issue with origin stories: the suited-up main attraction being absent for the first hour. It takes a little while to get in gear – or perhaps just to adjust to what’s going on here – but once it does, Deadpool drops trou to reveal itself as a really raunchy, very dirty and pretty amusing goof on the entire superhero ethos, as well as the first Marvel film to irreverently trash the brand. When that movie became a massive box office hit, they sent the Deadpool script to Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) to direct.
For a comic-book movie based on a character most people would never have heard of, that’s a startlingly high number. “Deadpool is kind of the opposite of that”. Running gags about Sinead O’Connor and “Say Anything” sit alongside Weasel (TJ Miller) riffing on just how ugly a post-transformation Wade is.
Deadpool is unique for more than its R rating.
There’s no small portion of Easter eggs for fans, either. Whether he could make the grade as the leading man of a franchise of his own was always a question, which partly accounts for the prolonged wait-and-see on Marvel’s part.
According to some reports, another Green Lantern movie is being mapped out by Warner Bros. and may have a release date in 2020 with a proposed title of “Green Lantern Corps”.
Speaking to The New Paper at Mandarin Oriental Taipei two weeks ago where he was promoting Deadpool, an affable Reynolds said: “It was a very hostile place on set”. Reynolds has expressed a desire that Hugh Jackman might cameo as Wolverine, though it remains unconfirmed as to whether or not he will actually appear.
