An image of DEADPOOL lounging in front of a fireplace (from the film's official Twitter account) and the movie's official website has since launched online @ www.foxmovies.com/movies/deadpool, which reveals the film's title and logo design, along with this synopsis:
"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."
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Gina Carano, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein, and directed by Tim Miller, "Deadpool" premieres February 12, 2016. Meawnhile, check out the below video (blogged on TOYSREVIL), which was credited for bringing the concept back into the public consciousness and helping the film get green lit.
"Leaked test footage for Deadpool featuring Ryan Reynolds. To everyone who thinks this is what the actual film is going to look like, you're wrong. Its just test footage used entirely in CGI and was only used to pitch the movie. It has also been announced that the movie will be released sometime in 2016" (via)
