Any Marvel movie or comic book fan is likely salivating over the impending release of the upcoming standalone “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds.

Last January, Reynolds reportedly said that he has waited a long time to play the role of “Merc with the Mouth” so he is determined to take home a souvenir.
For Halloween, he donned the famous red and black costume as he met a group of children dressed as the X-Men, sharing a “team photo” of sorts on Instagram.
The video features X-Men favorites Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and Mystique, as well as a cheeky reference to another non-X-men superhero, the Green Lantern. After years of waiting, Ryan’s dream finally came true, and he was happy to be in a Deadpool movie, even if the production was given a limited budget to make it. Deadpool is not Batman, Superman, Spider-Man or anything from the MCU, he needs a serious push to become the hit we want it to be. When a boy reveals his laser superpowers, Reynolds quips: “That’s the stupidest f-king superpower I’ve ever heard”.
By the way, I must say that while it’s adorable to see these little X-Men teamed up with Deadpool, I have two small problems.
Deadpool will open in movie theaters on February 12, 2016.
The story follows Wade Wilson, a former Special Forces operative who is subjected to an experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers and a foulmouthed alter ego.
