12 Best Comic Book Movie Trailers Ever

11. Deadpool (Red Band Trailer #2)

One of the newer entries on this list, and also perhaps the funniest. Deadpool's entire marketing campaign was the work of genius (or just the twisted, juvenile minds of Ryan Reynolds and co), from the posters to the emoji billboards. The trailers, and in particular this second red band one, sold it wonderfully.

From the music to the extreme violence, swearing, and breaking the 4th wall, this doesn't look anything like your average superhero movie. There's some really fun action, it's hilarious, and I can't imagine a comic book movie fan not wanting to see this movie after watching this trailer. The film itself doesn't subvert the genre as much as hoped, but it's still good fun, and that's something this trailer sells in spades.
