UPDATE: New Official DEADPOOL Image Finds 'The Merc With A Mouth' Ready For Action
Not content with delivering those awesome new Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice pics, EW has now debuted an official still from Fox's upcoming Deadpool movie. See Ryan Reynolds fully suited up as the Merc With A Mouth with his pistols drawn after the jump...
In addition to the image, EW has now posted an interview with both the movie's director Tim Miller and producer Simon Kinberg. “Deadpool is a hard R,” assures the latter. “It’s graphic. Nothing is taboo. You either commit to a truly outrageous boundary-pushing kind of movie or you don’t.” Miller also reveals that he was influenced by a classic David Fincher movie when setting out to create a world that exists in the X-universe, but couldn't be more different at the same time. “I felt Fight Club and Tyler Durden were good corollaries,” he says. “We are in strip clubs and dive bars and crappy apartments and far away from the shiny X-Men world.” More at the link below.
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
Deadpool is directed by Tim Miller, and stars Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa Carlysle), T.J. Miller (Weasel), with Ed Skrein, and Brianna Hildebrand (Ellie Phimister). The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on February 12, 2016.
