Disney+ is ramping up its R-rated content this Friday with the releases of Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan, according to the trades and press announcements on Thursday. All three films will be made available in the U.S. under the Marvel brand.
For the last three years, moms and dads have been pining to take their kids to see a Deadpool movie only to get angry on the internet about exposing them to R-rated violence and gore and outlandish comedy…and then pester 20th Century Fox to re-edit the films at the last minute.
20th Century Fox
Instantly, Friday’s campaign kick-off with the official teaser trailer for Angga D. Sasongko’s latest, Wiro Sableng, delivered hard and heavy courtesy of a certain merc-with-a-mouth. It’s certainly an inviting feat apart from what we now get with an official international teaser trailer for the masses abroad as starring actor Vino G. Bastian readies to hit screens this August from 20th Century Fox and Lifelike Pictures.
Marvel movies continually manage to sustain a higher ground over their DC competition, and for a number of reasons. Having homes at more than one studio is one, including at Fox where the liberty given to the bustling Deadpool franchise, for all intents and purposes, has paid off handsomely.
The upcoming May 18 sequel now looks to repeat that success and the production itself has seen quite the rollercoaster. At least one major concern, however, sits on maintaining the same balanced tone of fourth wall-breaking comedy jabs coupled with the kind of superb action Deadpool was known for.
Ryan Reynolds is back and leading those efforts in spades and indeed, given the necessary improvements that preceeded its better test screenings, the latest and final trailer appears to hint delightfully at this. New story, new heroes, new villains and even more shenanigans are abound, so check out the trailer below and get your tickets at Fandango now.
While Ryan Reynolds may be no Atomic Blonde he cares for only one thing this year: Putting that Deadpool costume to hard work once again when the sequel arrives May 18 in theaters. The first official trailer is finally here, and in fourth-wall breaking, ratta-tat-tat fashion with actor Josh Brolin front and center as the first cinematic incarnation of Cable for the big screen.
This synopsis though…
After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.
Precisely.
David Leitch helms Deadpool 2 for an R-rating that is otherwise forthcoming despite the unrated trailer below. New faces and old. Big stunts, bigger guns, more shenanigans and such… set the date! Trailer below⬇️
We are four months out from the release of Fox’s Deadpool 2 and the film hasn’t let up in its campaign…nor its title character per recent Twitter shenanigans on Super Bowl Sunday. Acting out Ryan Reynolds in full-red and all the glam Hollywood money can buy, we now have a brand new poster with our anti-hero honing in on more good old-fashioned 80s nostalgia. What a feelin…
Veering off of superhero movies for this last one, Kodi Smit-McPhee has an extra mouth to feed in Albert Hughes’s striking new adventure, Alpha. Opening on March 2, the film is set in the last Ice Age where an injured young boy and a wounded wolf abandoned by its pack become unlikely allies as they brave the elements and unrelenting dangers of the wilderness to find their way home. I was compelled by the trailer when I first saw it and best of all, I love stories about animals and humans co-existing together. This is gonna be fun.
I’m inclined to take a little credit for this one, regardless of how deluded I sound. I tweeted at actor Ryan Reynolds maybe a year or two ago asking if he would be interested in playing the late television painter, Bob Ross, in a biopic. He never replied, although I’m keen on believeing that I’m probably not the only one who believed this and whatever the case may be, 20th Century Fox is now making this part of their marketing push for Reynolds’s forthcoming festive R-rated Marvel sequel, Deadpool 2, directed by David Leitch.
Looking to amass even more critical and box office success next year is 20th Century Fox with upcoming Marvel sequel, Deadpool 2. Here to help embrace the holiday spirit is first official poster spoofing Norman Rockwell’s. FDR-inspired classic 1943 oil painting, “Freedom From Want” is returning title actor Ryan Reynolds who has been all but relentless in carrying the torch through Tim Miller’s explosive 2016 box office success in Deadpool.
Reynolds is joined by Josh Brolin as time traveling supersoldier, Cable, with Zazie Beetz as lucky lady assassin Domino, and returning cast, actresses Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand and Leslie Uggams respectively as lead love interest, Vanessa, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Blind Al, and actors T.J. Miller as Weasel, Stefan Kapicic voicing the role of CG-heavy Colossus, and Karan Soni as Dopinder who…should probably let go of the past given what happened in the last film. Atomic Blonde helmer David Leitch sits in the director’s chair for what’s expected to be another shining example of how a veteran stunt expert constructs some of the cleanest and exciting action scenes to be shot for film.
Peep the poster below.
The path to an X-Force movie has been a long one, but now it looks as if its development has finally hit a new milestone with the attachment of Drew Goddard (Daredevil, The Defenders) to write and direct for the 20th Century Fox Marvel adaptation. Other names like Jeff Wadlow and Joe Carnahan have circled the project in the months following the blockbuster release of Tim Miller’s Ryan Reynolds headliner, Deadpool, with the latter ultimately dropping the project among others.
Goddard, currently helming Bad Times At The El Royale for Fox, will be joined by Reynolds and actor Josh Brolin in manifesting the popular comic book property which began under Marvel in 1991 from creator Rob Liefeld about a team of mutant warriors more down and dirty than the X-Men. The film, apart from its roots per the studio’s longstanding series of X-Men movies (including 2018 releases, Simon Kinberg’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix – November 2, and Josh Boone’s X-Men: New Mutants – April 13), joins the flourishing raft of R-rated comic book films as seen with last year’s critical and commerical success of Miller’s Deadpool and James Mangold’s Spring multi-format, colored/noir success, Logan.
Reynolds will produce X-Force with Kinberg and producer Lauren Shuler Donnern, and will also reunite with Brolin following the recent completion of Deadpool 2 from director David Leitch. (Deadline).
The events of the last 72 hours have been, to say the least, pressing. The tragedy that struck the outdoor set of 20th Century Fox’s upcoming sequel, Deadpool 2, serves as a staunch reminder of how dangerous the craft of stunt performance can be, as is always the case, and with the occasional on-set mishaps that can occur on set.
Director David Leitch has long since earned my respect with Atomic Blonde. His return to the helm with the hotly-anticipated Deadpool 2, current has me even more excited and now with photos making way online as of late featuring the cast.

Time will tell how Donald and Stephen Glover’s animated foray with Deadpool will bode. For now though, a June 1, 2018 release date looms for 20th Century Fox’s R-rated Marvel successor, Deadpool 2 following last year’s hit with Ryan Reynolds returning to star.
Thusly, news from Deadline confirms the addition of The Strain series and upcoming Death Wish co-star, actor Jack Kesy for the likely role of Black Tom Cassidy, a noted X-Men antagonist who can manipulate and bond with plant life as well as charge energy through a shillelagh – or a wooden-like walking stick (I can hear Wade Wilson’s shameless cripple jokes already.)
Josh Brolin is time-traveling supersoldier Cable while actress Zazie Beetz debuts the role of luck-bending killer Domino. Stephen Kapcic will return to voice-over X-Men member Colossus next to actress Brianna Hildebrand reprising as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Morena Baccarin will return as Vanessa, Wilson’s love interest.
David Leitch is directing from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Reynolds returns next to the big screen in Patrick Hughes’s The Hitman’s Bodyguard opening August 18 from Lionsgate.
Hopefully mercenary and box office smash hit super merc Wade Wilson remembered to turn the stove off before getting all Hollywood on us. In the meantime, it’s taken a bit of time for the upcoming titular sequel of Wade’s crime humpimg fighting adventures as Deadpool to staple a release date and start date, and on Saturday, 20th Century Fox changed all that, and then some.
This summer will mark the principal start in Vancouver for Deadpool 2 as cameras roll with actor Ryan Reynolds back in the tactical red supersuit for a release date now set for June 1, 2018. Joining Reynolds thusfar is actress Zazie Beetz as luck-bending femme fatale Domino and the Marvel MCU’s current Thanos, actor Josh Brolin now time traveling as enhanced supersoldier Cable following a long and contentious casting process among others that led to Deadpool helmer Tim Miller’s departure late last year.
Actresses Leslie Uggams and Brianna Hildebrand, voice actor Stefan Kapcic and actor Karan Soni are all currently expected to reprise their roles from the first film. Atomic Blonde helmer David Leitch sits in the director’s chair and will helm from a script by returning writers, executive producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
Reynolds is producing with Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner, and with Stan Lee, Ethan Smith and Aditya Sood also executive producing for the film which commences in June. (H/T: THR)
Well it won’t be Michael Shannon, Pierce Brosnan, David Harbour or Stephen Lang or any of the seasoned thesps you or I might have expected to see nab the role of futuristic time traveling supersoldier, Cable for Deadpool 2 at 20th Century Fox. Nope, indeed its been months and weeks with casting heavily underway and now, the title goes to actor Josh Brolin as per the exclusive this week at THR with a production start now being set for June in Vancouver.
Cable first launched onto the Marvel pages in 1986 and whose personality traits are considered to be the opposite of our titular hero. In the comics he shares lineage as the son of X-Men member Cyclops, and also bares techno-organic bodyparts that each host his enhanced vision through his left eye with infrared capabilites, superior strength and fighting prowess, as well as allow him to hack into various machines and even travel through time. Brolin’s first stint in comic book territory was in 2010 for the title role of DC Comics property, Jonah Hex, prior to landing on Marvel’s greener pastures in the MCU and taking the reigns as Thanos as of 2014 in Jim Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, and Avengers: Age Of Ultron the following year; He is expected to reprise the role in next year’s ensemble set up, Avengers: Infinity War.
Deadpool 2 will join Brolin with returning star Ryan Reynolds in the title role and actress Zazie Beetz as Domino. David Leitch, one of the leading badass minds behind the John Wick franchise as well as that of Charlize Theron’s Atomic Blonde which he directs for release this summer, is at the helm for the long-awaited Marvel sequel which still awaits a release date.
