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. It even featured a Stan Lee cameo as well as a host of knowing Easter Eggs and references.

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.

Also worthy of note, Ryan Reynolds' backside appears smushed against the glass of a public phonebox in the same short.
