LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26 (UPI) — Twentieth Century Fox’s Deadpool trailer has been viewed more than 2 million times since it was posted on YouTube Christmas Friday.
“Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, 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, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life,” said a synopsis accompanying the nearly 3-minute-long clip.
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T.J. Miller, Gina Carano and Brianna Hildebrand, the movie is set for release Feb. 12.
