The marketing campaign is strong with this one - on every occasion he gets, Ryan Reynolds becomes again the character Deadpool and gets us even more excited as to what will happen next February, on the 12th, when the movie will be released. So, for Halloween, the actor has met with a couple of his miniature X-Men and shot a special clip for all the fans out there.
But this isn't all. Over the course of shooting Deadpool, the press was obviously invited on the set, to pick up details and new info. However, they weren't allowed to reveal everything - until now, that is. So today has found us with quite a few new tidbits about the Merc with a Mouth.
For example, Collider has provided us with a list of 65 new details about the movie, concerning just about everything we are interested in - from the racy scenes, to the role of Colossus, as well as to cameos and others. And there is something revealed for those wondering whether or not Deadpool will appear in X-Men movies as well.
So do you want to find out more? If so, check it out starting from the next page - but be warned: here be spoilers!
Deadpool beats Beast and puts Cyclops in his place
Ryan Reynolds became the Merc with a Mouth each time a special occasion required it - from the R-Rating announcement to the Mother's Day photo-shoot, he was all over the place. So how can he miss Halloween?
Well, on the 1st of November, the actor let us catch a glimpse of how he celebrated Halloween - with some fellow X-Men, namely Storm, Mystique, Beast, Wolverine, Magneto and Cyclops. The tag was pretty on the spot, asking Fox to stop confusing the audience with the changes made to the timeline.
However, only on the 3rd he released what he was actually doing - he was setting up his school for the not so gifted youngsters (as he says on his Twitter account). How did it all go? Well, check out the clip below!
And of course he said poop and cheese, blipped them and let you fill in the blanks…
Speaking of the X-Men, if you had any doubt about it, this movie will take place in the Mutant Cinematic Universe, with quite a few Easter-Eggs dropped here and there. And it won't be just about dropping names either - instead, Collider reports that silhouettes of other X-Men will also be seen in the movie. Whose silhouettes? Well, this is where the info stops and the rumors begin!
But this isn't the place and time! Check out the next page for more details about Colossus!
Colossus - the real one
While Daniel Cudmore was wanted by many fans in this movie, he was replaced by Andre Tricoteux - via motion capture, he will become the Colossus many fans have missed. As said, Cudmore did a fine job, though there was something wrong with his character - he wasn't at all Russian like in the comics and he wasn't at all that big.
This will change in Deadpool, though. In the comics, just like in this movie, he has a much more consistent role. And he has a thick Russian accents. And he is huge, an actual colossus when compared to the other characters (7 feet 6 inches). According to director Tim Miller, he is the most obvious link between Deadpool and the rest of the Mutant Cinematic Universe: "When [Colossus] shows up you see the Blackbird in the background. It's just a nod to the larger X-Men universe that Deadpool really doesn't want to be part of. He's had his chance. I mean, there's a great line where Colossus says, "˜you could be a superhero' and he's like "˜yeah, I've seen my report card and I don't want to be that guy.' But I like the fact that he's deliberately chosen not to be part of that world, but it's still there." (via Screen Rant).
Furthermore, the director also said that he understands why the powerful mutant wasn't used more in his metallic form in the previous movies - it was because of the budget. However, this won't be the case with this movie - which is a pretty weird thing to say, especially since Deadpool is known to have a low budget, even if it isn't compared to any of the other superhero movies of the recent years.
So yes: Colossus is the link between Deadpool and the X-Men and Negasonic Teenage Warhead is his apprentice of sorts.
As far as the action scenes are concerned, the Russian mutant won't just slap the Merc with a Mouth as seen in the trailer. He will fight Gina Carano's Angel Dust in a junkyard, former MMA star playing a character which had to be built from scratch (since her story wasn't developed too much in the comics). In the movie, she is Ajax's henchmen and she has a pretty ambiguous relationship with him.
On the next page, more details about Ajax, Morena Baccarin's character, and more!
Playing second fiddle
There is only one star in Deadpool and that is Deadpool himself. However, just like any superhero (or whatever he is), he does need a villain. And this time the villain is Ajax, who in the comics works as an enforcer at a special hospice - one where the failed Weapon X experiments go. If we can guess anything from the trailers, Tim Miller will stay close to the comic version of the villain.
We don't really know too much about the character from the movie - but we can expect for him to be highly tolerant to pain, after having his nerves removed. We don't know whether or not he will have superhuman speed, superhuman strength, or even an enhanced intuitive capacity.
What we do know, via Collider, is that his suit is very different from the comics. First off, if the character is Canadian in the comics, he will be British in the movie. Then, his suit was built having function in mind, rather than being all flashy and metallic.
According to actor Ed Skrein, Ajax and Deadpool have a pretty basic story - each one of them tries to take revenge on the other. Nonetheless, the motives they seek revenge change during the movie, which will surely delight the fans (and this statement will, most likely, spark new rumors concerning the movie).
Morena Baccarin is Vanessa Carlysle - and she will have some naughty, R-rated fun with Wade Wilson. In the comics, her character is the mutant called Copycat, a very powerful metamorph who can duplicate anyone to a cellular level. However, the Weapon X program tampered with her abilities, which rendered her unable to maintain a solid form for long periods of time.
But she won't be this way in the movie - in Deadpool, her powers won't be revealed. She isn't a damsel in distress and her true powers will be revealed in the sequel. Speaking of the sequel, check out the next page to find out which characters almost made it in this movie, but who will definitely appear in the next!
Cable and others
Fans have been waiting for so long for the powerful Cable to make his appearance on the big screens. Well, Deadpool was supposed to be his first outing - until the writers and the director decided against it. Why would they do that?
It is easy enough - Deadpool had to be on his own feet before welcoming such a big character. As far as we are concerned, this is an awesome move. A simple cameo (which could have seemed forced, by the way) wouldn't have done justice to Cable. So, instead, the team is keeping him for the sequel.
And the sequel will happen - we have no doubt about that. According to Collider, the director was already preparing to shoot the post-credits scene back when they visited the set. We bet that it will be fun and that it will lead into the second part, which is rumored to be a full X-Force movie.
Some other characters which almost made it into the final script are Garrison Kane and Wire, which were ultimately dropped because of the budgetary issues - good thing we will have Colossus, though, for whom the producers had to fight a bit (since he is an X-Man and since changes needed to be made to Deadpool to accommodate him).
But do you know who will be in the movie? Stan Lee, in his raunchiest cameo ever!

Soundtrack and more
According to Ryan Reynolds, he experienced a panic attack when seeing Guardians of the Galaxy - and that is because of the very cool soundtrack, which featured songs from the "˜70's and the "˜80's. How come? According to the actor and the director, the Deadpool soundtrack is based on hits from the "˜80's and "˜90's. So he reassured the fans that they had the soundtrack in mind before the Guardians of the Galaxy made huge waves at the box office.
Further details are also given about the costumes and the make-up, particularly for the main character. While they did remove the pads and fake muscles from the costume, thus making it 100% Ryan Reynolds, there will be CGI. In order to convey emotions, the face will be digitally manipulated.
Speaking about the make-up, Reynolds said that it took about 4 hours to be applied, only to end up feeling like he was wearing a wet diaper on his face. And it won't be like in the comics - as seen in the trailer, you can still recognize the pretty face of Reynolds.
Which cannot be said about the X-Men Origins: Wolverine, when the actor was replaced in the final fight. Speaking of which, Deadpool will reference and mock that movie, completely disregarding its events. Further references will be made towards the larger X-Men universe, particularly to Professor X (an Easter-Egg which will be most likely dropped by Colossus).
Also worth mentioning, Ryan Reynolds will be doing his own stunts - nonetheless, there are scenes in which he is replaced by professional stuntmen, because the action scenes are too complicated even for the fit actor. According to Collider, there will be a perfect blend between practical effects and CGI, which has already convinced some fans that Deadpool will be next year's Mad Max: Fury Road.
For more you can check out the Collider article in here - however, we think we have covered all the most important details. Looking forward for this movie and will watch again the R-rated trailer (because mama is cool and already called Deadpool):
Stay tuned – Friday for the first Warcraft trailer and later on for the first X-Men: Apocalypse trailer!
