During this year's CinemaCon, attendees were treated to a special Deadpool & Wolverine PSA. That featured both characters going on a foul-mouthed tirade aimed at moviegoers who don't silence their cellphones. Now, it's found its way online!
The video has started playing in theaters and hasn't been "officially" released (at least not yet). However, we have a version recorded by a fan and this thing is absolutely hilarious.
A very angry Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) makes a series of threats before being calmed down by the Merc with the Mouth (Ryan Reynolds). Things between them get weird fast, but it's clear the clawed mutant doesn't appreciate seeing someone's phone light up or start ringing during a trip to the movies.
This Variant of Logan also appears to have a short temper, something we're sure contributes to his hatred of the chatty Wade Wilson.
"I hope this doesn’t sound condescending, I’m really proud of them for doing this," Reynolds recently said of the movie’s R-Rating. "It’s a huge step for them, it adds a whole color to this kaleidoscopic wheel that is that company and the different people that they have been entertaining for forever."
The actor also said the rating wasn’t about "exploiting" the ability to "just do R-rated stuff," but because "there’s no other way to do it for this character in this world."
Reynolds has put his and Maximum Effort's full creative might behind the threequel's marketing campaign and we're betting on the next couple of months being a lot of fun for fans. He and Jackman no doubt shot a fair bit of extra footage on set, so chances are more unique content like this is on the way.
