In a genius move, 20th Century Fox has created a brand new film out of their R-rated Deadpool 2. Instead of just re-releasing it as a PG-13 edit, Ryan Reynolds is teasing it as a new experience starring Fred Savage. In fact, the BBC leaked what is said to be the film’s new title and it’s perfect: The Deadpool Before Christmas. This title is particularly funny as it referenced the Disney-owned The Nightmare Before Christmas, produced by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick. We’ll have more as it comes in, but for now get the family together for The Deadpool Before Christmas on December 21st.
Deadpool 2 introduced Josh Brolin‘s hotly-anticipated Cable and Zazie Beetz’s Domino, as well as all of the newly assembled X-Force, the super popular New Mutants spinoff from Marvel comics.
“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.”
David Leitch (John Wick) is directing from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
