I think we are all in agreement that Fox 'mishandled' Deadpool. That's me being as diplomatic as I can.
With the currently "in development" Deadpool spin-off slowly creeping forward Fox has a very real opportunity to make a very unique comic-book movie. Regardless of what you think of him, Deadpool is unlike any other mainstream comic book character and his "Barakapool" portrayal in X-Men Origins: Wolverine wasn't just lazy, it was utterly pointless. It was shallow fan service that didn't service anything, including the fans.
I actually think Fox could be very smart here and use the lukewarm reaction to Wolverine if and when the Deadpool marketing campaign starts. Self awareness has never been one of Fox's strengths but the studio seems to be changing direction. The recent promos for the new series of Fringe used the dreaded "Friday Death Slot" to sell the show.
Fox can employ that kind of thinking to the promotion of Deadpool. As a serial fourth wall breaker, the Deadpool teaser could see him trying to make his own movie in response to Wolverine.
With that in mind I offer my idea for a Deadpool teaser.
It starts with Barakapool skulking through a Dark corridor. He stops mid stride and turns to face the camera. As his eyes begin to glow a sword spears him from behind and cleaves him in two. He falls to the ground revealing Deadpool (with his mask) in an immaculate tuxedo. With bloodied sword in one hand and a meat cleaver in the other, he crouches down, just out of view of the camera and begins hacking Barakapool to pieces. After a while he stands up, clears his throat and faces the camera.
Deadpool: Oh, hello. I'm Deadpool. I used to look like this...
(A picture of Ryan Reynolds in "Hugo Boss" mode appears with a ping.)
Deadpool: Now I look like this...
(He pulls up his mask and his face becomes pixelated. A woman off camera screams. He pulls the mask back down.)
Deadpool: Apparently some a-holes have been trying to convince people that "Knifey" here is me. C'Mon, have you seen me? I'm a 10! This guy's a 6 at best, maybe a 7 if he worked out a bit more.
Thankfully some buddies of mine helped me scrape together $73.46 to tell my story my way.
You can't afford to miss this! It'll feature ACTION!

Deadpool: I'd like to thank the academy in advance.

Deadpool: Na na na na na na na na Deadpoooooool
