[projekktor id=’23051′]

Deadpool is an adult superhero adventure directed by Tim Miller. The film is a passion project for its star Ryan Reynolds and his creative team as they’ve worked for eleven years to get the film made. Co-starring with Reynolds are Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T. J. Miller, and Gina Carano.

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, he hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

“In the comic book world, Deadpool is a man of our time with the ability to spout just the right thing, in terms of a pop culture reference, at the worst possible moment,” Reynolds explains. “That’s what makes him interesting to me and also makes him sort of limitless. We’re staying as true to the character as possible. We really ran with the idea of him being aware he’s a comic book anti-hero. It gave us the freedom to tell this story in a totally unorthodox way. We occupy a space that no other comic book movie has – or can.”

Deadpool is rated 18A.
