With Deadpool 2 still some time away from release, 2017 saw a teaser short released along with Logan's theatrical runs (and released online shortly afterwards) showing 'Pool failing to stop a mugger hilariously.

The strangest and most pause-worthy came right at the end when Deadpool's quirky summary of The Old Man And The Sea plays out in text form, for some reason. It requires the pause button to fully read it.
