There's Now a Trailer for the Deadpool Trailer, and It's Delightfully Meta

Posted in: Uncategorized

Breaking the fourth wall doesn’t happen all that often in movies—especially not in today’s overly earnest and gritty superhero movies.

That’s what makes Deadpool special. He’s fast-talking, brash, in-your-face and constantly going meta with references to his own role in a fictional universe, which makes him the perfect pitchman for his own trailer. 

In the brief preview of a preview below, Deadpool lampoons classic trailer copy (“In a world…”) while taking jabs at the studio behind the film (20th Century Fox), its odd depiction of his character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and star Ryan Reynolds’ not-so-award-winning acting career.
