‘Deadpool’ hams it up for ‘EW’ Comic-Con Cover
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m Team Deadpool.
The EW cover offers a look at the character up close, and his speech bubble is characteristically cheeky and fourth-wall-shattering. “Wait, this isn’t Sexiest Man Alive?” is an obvious reference to People Magazine‘s Sexiest Man Alive 2010issue, in which Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds was crowned the victor.
Deadpool opens February 12, 2016, because nothing says “Valentine’s Day” like a wisecracking, mentally unstable weirdo out for vengeance.
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
