Deadpool Leaked Trailer: 6 Things You Need To Know

While Deadpool is clearly going to be full of crass humour and bloody action scenes, the footage showed a surprising amount of heart. The focus was clearly on laughs and violence, but there were definitely some tell tale signs that this movie won't be a solid 90 minutes of just that. 

The trailer kicked off with Wade being diagnosed with cancer, and when his girlfriend (Morena Baccarin's Copycat) tries to reassure him, he points out that the cancer is "only in my liver, lungs, prostate, and brain. All things I can live without." It's clear though that he's using humour to hide how scared he is, and when he's offered the chance to become a hero, Wade makes Weapon X promise that they'll do right by him so he can do right by someone else. 

As well as having that romantic subplot to give the character some depth, it appears as if his descent into insanity after Weapon X's experiments will be told quite tragically as this normal guy is transformed into essentially an unhinged killing machine. 

This was a point emphasised by director Tim Miller who revealed that he choked up during some of the movie's more emotional scenes, and even did so again while talking about them on stage at Comic-Con.
