Valentine’s Day banners and new TV spot for Deadpool, MPAA grants R-rating for “strong violence, language, sexual content and graphic nudity”

January 13, 2016 by Gary Collinson

A couple of days ago 20th Century Fox switched gears with its marketing for Deadpool with a rom-com style poster for the upcoming X-Men spinoff, and now we have another two Valentine’s Day-inspired banners, along with a new still from the film and the latest TV spot; check them out here…

Meanwhile – as expected – the MPAA has officially granted film an R rating, for “strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity.”

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.

Miller (Transformers: Age of Extinction) as Weasel, Morena Baccarin (Gotham) as Copycat, Gina Carano (Fast & Furious 6) as Angel Dust, Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones) as Ajax, Stefan Kapicic (24)  as Colossus, Leslie Uggams (Roots) as Blind Al and newcomer Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
