With the recent release of the new Deadpool trailer, fans around the world have been thrown into a frenzy. It almost looks too good to be true. Do we dare let our imaginations run wild and actually get excited for it? Surely it can’t go wrong from here, can it? Regardless, it got me thinking about the things I personally would love to see in the movie, have a read and let me know what you think:
1. Pop culture references
One of the things that makes Deadpool such an interesting read, is the many references to the world outside of his own comic book. With the trailer already revealing some not too subtle digs at the Green Lantern movie (Also starring Reynolds) we hope that it won’t just be a once off.
2. The many voices in his head
One of Deadpool’s most unique characteristics is having conversations with the voices in his head. While the number, sex and race of these voices has changed, I know that for me, the Deadpool Movie will be incomplete without someone like James Earl Jones playing a voice in Wade’s head.
3. Taking advantage of his healing abilities
Although a healing ability isn’t anything new in superhero movies (Wolverine), no comic book character has as much fun with theirs as Deadpool does. Super powers are supposed to be fun. Deadpool gets that.
4. Something Spiderman-related
It could be a team up, or even just Deadpool being mistaken for Spiderman, either way it needs to happen. Deadpool being mistaken for Spiderman and his bromance with him have been established in the comics since the beginning, and I for one would love to see it on the big screen.
5. A Superhero beatdown
Deadpool is known for his gags, after all he’s a funny dude. But he’s also a highly skilled mercenary that isn’t above doing a little bad if it puts money in his pocket, or suits his own interests. This is sure to put him at odds with someone, why not the Hulk?
6. Destroy the fourth wall
We know it’s a movie and so does Deadpool. I want him to single me out in the cinema, make references to camera men and the director, people that no one but he can see. If I can only have one of the things on this list, I pick this one, it is an absolute must.
