Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool

It's been a long time coming, but Ryan Reynolds is finally returning as the deranged superhero Deadpool. In case you aren't familiar, Reynolds will reprise his role as the elite assassin, whom he first played in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. (Photo: Marvel)

Wade Wilson Has Cancer

Before he becomes Deadpool, he's just a guy named Wade Wilson. Wilson's story takes a turn when he finds out he has cancer in his “liver, lungs, prostate and brain.” Instead of going full Walter White, Wilson fields an offer to cure him and then some... (Photo: Marvel)

But He Gets Recruited

There's always a catch, right? Wilson then gets recruited by this sinister looking man for Weapon X, the experimental procedure that gave Wolverine his powers. The recruiter promises to cure Wilson and turn him into a superhero. (Photo: Marvel)

And He Can Heal Like Wolverine

After undergoing the Weapon X procedure, Deadpool has similar healing qualities to Wolverine. In the trailer, Deadpool gets a hole blown in his arm, yet he miraculously recovers. (Photo: Marvel)

But Deadpool Knows He's a Fictional Character

In the comics, Deadpool breaks the fourth wall on a regular basis. As a superhero, he's generally aware he's not real. Toward the end of the raucous trailer, Deadpool looks into the camera and inhales the smoke from his guns. (Photo: Marvel)

And He's Got a Sense of Humor

Despite being told his sense of humor wouldn't survive Weapon X, Deadpool is clearly a witty and hilarious superhero. Before undergoing Weapon X, Wilson makes fun of Ryan Reynolds's first turn as a superhero with The Green Lantern. If all else fails, Wilson certainly has a future as a comic book illustrator with his lovely drawing skills. (Photo: Marvel)

Deadpool Gets Hit With the Ugly Stick

Deadpool looks much, much better with his suit on. The Weapon X procedure looks to have made the handsome Ryan Reynolds pretty hideous. (Photo: Marvel)

Colossus Gives a Beating

In another connection to the X-Men, the organic steel-clad Colossus makes an appearance in the trailer by easily tossing Deadpool into a car door. Does this mean we will see Deadpool in future X-Men movies? (Photo: Marvel)

Gina Carano is Angel Dust

MMA's other badass Gina Carano (the first is, of course, Ronda Rousey) will play the character Angel Dust, who is known for her superhuman strength. Shouldn't be much of a stretch for her. (Photo: Marvel)

There's a character named Negasonic Teenage Warhead

Seriously, that's her name and she's played by Brianna Hildebrand. In the comics, Negasonic Teenage Warhead is a mutant with telepathic powers. With luck, she can live up to her beautifully crazy moniker. (Photo: Marvel)

T.J. Miller Plays Weasel

T.J. Miller of Silicon Valley fame will play Deadpool's best friend and arms dealer, Weasel. Weasel pulls no punches on Wade Wilson's horrid appearance; he repeatedly describes how ugly Wilson has become. (Photo: Marvel)

Deadpool is going to be a bloody good time

If you checked out the red-band trailer, then you know how fun and bloody this movie will be. Get ready for a lot of action, witty one liners, slow-motion kills and gun sniffing. (Photo: Marvel)

Deadpool Bows In February 2016

Deadpool will be one of the first big action flicks in 2016, with a release of February 12th. Will you see Star Wars for the 8,000th time, or Deadpool? (Photo: Marvel)
