We are So Ready to Go See "Deadpool 2"

Today the newest trailer for "Deadpool 2" was released, and the movie looks absolutely amazing.

I have said before that I am not big on trailers, I do try to avoid them, but with the whole "Deadpool" franchise, the trailers are part of the whole movie watching experience. It all started with the trailer for the first one being like nothing we had seen before. It was crazy, violent and had all the fourth wall braking that everyone wanted from the character of Deadpool. The movie makers and Ryan Reynolds took the love for the different trailers for the movie and ran with it. They started to do things like, have intros, have Deadpool speak to the audience beforehand, they added crazy music videos and nonsensical stuff, that didn't even make the movie, and it all worked to perfection. You needed to see all the trailers to understand any of the little jokes that were placed in the first movie.

Now, I have watched every single teaser trailer and any other videos attached to "Deadpool 2". I loved the whole old school painting show spoof trailer that Deadpool did. The poster of the entire cast in character sitting around a dining room table was so awesome, and I seriously considered making it my screen saver on both my phone and computer. There was another teaser that had Deadpool acting out all the stuff between him and Cable, the villain, with action figures. It was hilarious. My favorite teaser trailer though was the very first one. This 45 second trailer showed Deadpool walking around in street clothes, hearing a crime, going into a phone booth, a la Superman, trying to get his suit on, and completely missing the criminals. It ended with him sitting next to a presumably dead guy and just chit chatting with him. This trailer was attached to the excellent movie "Logan", and it felt so perfect in its place. The movie theater in the background of this trailer had "Logan" on the marquee as well. It was great.

Well, when I woke up today I saw that there was a brand new trailer, and as soon as I dropped my son off at school and sat my daughter down for breakfast, I watched it. It makes me want to see the movie so much more than I already did. It started out with Deadpool holding some cue cards that read 3,2,1. After he dropped the 1, he covered up his private parts, and the trailer started. I was blown away. I do have to say, if you haven't seen the trailer yet, and you want to watch it, do not watch it at work, or if you have kids and they are present. It is filled with curse words and there is a ton of blood shed. It is brutal and funny in all the right ways, just make sure you are watching it in the right context. But, when the trailer kicked off, it started with Deadpool's usually fourth wall breaking and joke making. I swear, this role is the perfect role for Ryan Reynolds. You can tell, just from the preview, that he loves this role so much. He also fought for this role, so you know he also giving it all he has. He is amazing as Deadpool.

Throughout the trailer we see all the fighting and cursing and crazy shit we have come to expect from this movie. At one point we see Deadpool running towards the taxi from the first movie, and the driver is deep into an Air Supply song before Deadpool smashes the window, gun shots follow, and then the driver snaps to and takes off, telling Deadpool that he is "living the dream". From there on out it is pure insanity. We see Cable, played by Josh Brolin, and he looks like a real badass. I'm super excited to see how he does with this role. And, if the preview is any indication, he is going to crush it. We also see Colossus and the young girl, the Negasonic Teenage Warhead I believe her name is, being recruited to join Deadpool's team, which he calls X-Force. A very funny moment from the preview is when he reveals the name, and Zazie Beets, who is awesome, tells him that the name is redundant. I loved it. I'm pretty sure Terry Crews is also in this movie as one of Deadpool's new members on his super hero team. I was also pleased to see that Deadpool and is girlfriend are still together, and she is still just as crass as he is. My favorite thing though was the reveal of Julian Dennison. He was amazing in "Hunt For the Wilderpeople", a movie that I have talked about a bunch of times. And, I knew he was going to be in this movie, but I didn't know in what capacity. Well, he seems to have a very big role as the child that Cable is trying it get, and Deadpool and the X-Force are trying to save. I'm so pumped that people like Zazie Beets and Julian Dennison are started to get cast in big time movies. They deserve it. My absolute favorite part of the new trailer was when we see Deadpool about to get shot, he puts his hand on the gun, the bullet rushes through his hand, then he turns the gun on the bad guy, and we see blood spatter.

This movie looks so badass and I am so pumped to watch it. I didn't see the first one until it came out on video. I will not make that mistake again. My wife and I will definitely be seeing "Deadpool 2" in the theaters. This trailer rules, and if you have even the slightest inkling to see "Deadpool 2", watch all of the teasers, but make sure you watch this new full trailer. It will get you just as excited as I am to see the movie. What a great, great preview. Well done.
