Watch the extremely NSFW trailer for Deadpool


Among superheroes, Marvel's Deadpool has always been something of an anomaly: funny, brutally violent, and gleefully breaking the fourth wall. Now, Deadpool is headed for the big screen — and based on this very NSFW trailer, the comic book's sensibility has arrived more or less intact:
Deadpool follows Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), a mercenary with advanced healing powers who seeks revenge on the people who experimented on him. But the story is less important than the gags, and this gory, goofy, and virtually plot-free trailer certainly captures that. Reynolds even takes a crack at Green Lantern, his much-maligned previous attempt to launch a superhero franchise. "Just don't make it green!" he pleads to the designer of his superhero costume. "Or animated!"
Deadpool hits theaters in February 2016.
