Deadpool Leaked Trailer: 6 Things You Need To Know

For a long time, it seemed as if Deadpool didn't stand a chance of ever being made. There were rumours, but it appeared that the version fans really wanted to see was doomed, since it was hinted that the red costume and much desired R-Rating would have to be dropped to make it happen.

Amazingly though, Deadpool is one dream which has come true. Not only will the costume and rating be what fans of the character were hoping for, but the movie itself has brought the Merc with the Mouth to life in the best possible way, something which was evident when the cast arrived at the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday night and wowed 7000 fans with an insane red-band trailer. 

For the first time in Comic-Con history, the footage shown was met with resounding chants of "One More Time, One More Time!" and received an even louder reaction for those in attendance than what was shown for both Star Wars and Batman v Superman. 

Unbelievably, Fox have failed to capitalise on that positive buzz by releasing the trailer online. There's no word at all on when it will be released at this stage, but as expected, a bootleg version of the footage quickly sprung up before disappearing.

Don't worry if you missed it, as here you will find a breakdown of all the biggest, best, and most shocking and spoilery moments from Deadpool's Comic-Con exclusive preview.

In the leaked script for Deadpool, the character breaks the fourth wall by making fun of how he was portrayed in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. An introductory video shown at the panel did the same, as Reynolds - in character - provided a voiceover for some snippets of footage from the movie and introduced that by saying, "From the studio that f**ked this up the first time..."

In fact, how poorly Deadpool was handled in that film was brought up a number of times by the actors, with Reynolds promising that at no point does he have his mouth sewn shut this time. 

However, X-Men Origins: Wolverine isn't the only previous superhero movie Reynolds has starred in which draws the ire of the Merc with the Mouth!

Surprisingly, the footage shown in the trailer makes a very obvious (and very funny) dig at Green Lantern, the 2011 movie which was a flop at the box office and hated by fans and critics alike. When Weapon X tells Wade Wilson that he can become a superhero if he allows them to experiment on him, he pleads: "Please don't make the super suit green. Or animated!" 

That CGI costume was widely ridiculed at the time, and Reynolds recently admitted to being unhappy about not seeing it until the first trailer was released. While the chances of Warner Bros. asking him to reprise the role of Hal Jordan were always slim, now they're none!
