Even when compared to the seemingly endless rev-up to this week’sStar Wars: The Force Awakens,Tim Miller’s hugely anticipatedDeadpoolhas simply been slaying the competition, largely due to the untamable sense of humor of leadRyan Reynoldsand the character’s wise-ass disposition. My favorite may still be the Halloween video that saw Reynolds, in character, attempting to recruit children dressed up asX-Mento join his team, but almost all of the material released thus far for the film has been ten times more inventive and attention grabbing than any other Marvel film on record. The latest, which announces a countdown to the release of a new trailer forDeadpoolon Christmas Day, is no exception. You can check out the countdown video right below:
So, as you can see, each day will feature a brand new release from a series of places on the internet having to do with the upcoming film, all leading up to the new trailer’s release on December 25th, giving you the perfect reason to ignore your family and loved ones for a few minutes. Most interesting is the inclusion of Deviant Art, the rather infamous website that features artwork that ranges from relatively cute and cuddly to the kind of stuff that would make the creators ofNinja Scrollblanch. We’ll have to wait until later this week to see that that’s all about, but it’s good enough to know now that we’ll have 12 full days ofDeadpoolnews coming down the pike. Hopefully, the new material will focus as much on the titular anti-hero as Miller’s supporting cast, includingHomeland’sMorena Baccarin,Gina Carano,T.J. Miller,Ed Skrein,Taylor Hickson, and newcomerBrianna Hildebrandas fan favorite Negasonic Teenage Warhead. For now, we’ll just have to wait to see what Entertainment Weekly and the rest have in store for us fans.
And as a special bonus, we already have the first new tease from Entertainment Weekly, which is a brand new poster for the film. 20th Century Fox released the explicit poster for the film, which recalls the cover of The Rolling Stones’Sticky Fingersfor rather obvious reasons, if you’re familiar with the classic record. Check out the poster below:

The countdown continues! The world’s most unconventional antihero,Deadpool, is jingling his bells and stroking his yule log on day three of#12DaysOfDeadpoolwith this spring-loaded, nut-punching battle plan. And you’ll only find thisexclusivepiece of content, in all its crayon-y glory, here on DeviantArt! With the holiday season upon us, Deadpool pays homage to classic ‘Home Alone’ memories by answering the question, “What would happen if Deadpool was the one left to defend his house?” Never one to miss out on giving a pounding, Deadpool puts a new spin on Kevin’s plan by beefing up booby traps and sprinkling liberally with honey badgers.
Deadpoolwill be released in theaters nationwide on February 12th, 2016.
