Fans of the Merc with a Mouth attending this month’s San Diego Comic-Con International may want to make sure they’re in the queue for Hall H on Saturday night. Not only will 20th Century Fox be hosting a Deadpool panel, but there’ll also be a screening of Deadpool 2: Uncut, an extended version of this year’s hit sequel.
Director David Leitch has previously revealed that an extended cut was in the works, stating in May that he was “sort of collaborating with Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, and Paul Wernick, and making sure we’re all getting all the jokes we want – to have it be fun and our sort of fun collaboration.”
For those of us who won’t be in San Diego, all hope is not lost, as Fox previously screened an extended ‘Rogue Cut’ of X-Men: Days of Future Past at Comic-Con in 2014, and that was subsequently released on home-entertainment formats. Hopefully they’ll follow suit with Deadpool 2: Uncut.
Marvel’s motormouth mercenary is back! Bigger, better and occasionally more pantless than ever before. When a super soldier arrives on a murderous mission, Deadpool is forced to think about friendship, family and what it really means to be a hero – all while kicking 50 shades of ass. Because, sometimes, to do the right thing you need to fight dirty.
Deadpool 2 sees David Leitch (John Wick) directing a cast that includes returning stars Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), T.J. Miller (Weasel), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Stefan Kapicic (Colossus), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al) and Karan Soni (Dopinder) alongside new additions Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) as Domino, Josh Brolin (Avengers: Infinity War) as Cable, Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) as Bedlam, Lewis Tan (Iron Fist) as Shatterstar, Bill Skarsgard (It) as Zeitgeist, Rob Delaney (Catastrophe), Julian Dennison (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) as Russell, Jack Kesy (The Strain) as the film’s villain, Shioli Kutsuna (The Outsider) as Yukio and Eddie Marsan (Atomic Blonde) in an as-yet-unrevealed role.
