This video of Ryan Reynolds is all the proof you need that 'Deadpool' will be amazing
Tuesday, Reynolds released a video of himself dressed up as his Marvel antihero for Halloween and brought a few friends along with him - several kids dressed up as the X-Men to make an elite superhero team.
If you're not familiar with Deadpool, the character's a former mercenary who gains healing abilities after an experiment gone awry. Fans love that the character is aware he's a comic character, and isn't afraid of making jabs at himself or other superheroes.
The short 1:36 minute clip released by Reynolds Tuesday, along with all of the marketing for the film so far, is hilarious, keeping true to the character fans know and love.
The video hits on two main themes that already make this look better than other superhero flicks:
It's incredibly self-aware
The video takes several jabs at former superheroes Reynolds' has played. One girl asks Deadpool if he was Green Lantern, referring to Reynolds' 2011 highly-criticized superhero film. Another boy notes they should sew Deadpool's mouth back up, a reference to Reynolds' prior time in the role when a version of Deadpool appeared in "X-Men: Origins."
Deadpool's not afraid to tell it how it is
Deadpool asks Cyclops, who he refers to as Ray-Bans, what his superpower is. When the boy says he can shoot lasers out of his eyes, Deadpool says that's "the stupidest" superpower he's ever heard of and that he's off the team.
The fact Reynolds released a video with miniature X-Men gives us hope Fox, which distributes both the "X-Men" and "Deadpool" movies, is planning to team the Reynolds up with the group in the future.
"Deadpool" is in theaters February 12.
