‘Deadpool & Wolverine’: Wade Wilson Tries To Adjust To Normal Life In Nine Minutes Shown At CinemaCon

Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy wanted to show spoiler-free footage at CinemaCon on Thursday, and perhaps it is, but, boy was it hysterical. In the nine minutes shown of the Marvel tentpole, Ryan Reynolds is adjusting to normal life, content to aim for the middle, because you never miss.

He sasses his way around his birthday party where his tells his blind friend Al (Leslie Uggams) she can’t say cocaine (“Do you want to build a snowman?” she asks and jokes in code). Morena Baccarin’s Vanessa is seeing another guy, so we’re told. A black-clad SWAT team arrives at Wade’s apartment where he’s taken to Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Paradox, who wants to bring Deadpool back to work or as our hero refers to himself as “Marvel Jesus.”. In another sequence, Deadpool insults Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for leaving his house dressed like an L.A. Rams fan, which ticks off the hand-fanged hero.

Before the footage was shown, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige marveled over how fun it is to make an R-rated movie with the F-word. Levy said Reynolds is excited by the mere fact that Feige F-bombs.

Disney’s CinemaCon session kicked off today with a hysterical “Turn Your Cellphones Off” PSA from Deadpool and Wolverine. Walking down a hallway, Deadpool says, “Secret Wars was finally going to introduce…” before he’s interrupted by a cell phone ringing. Wolverine turns to the screen and threatens to shove the phone up our a*sses. “Easy now! So much testosterone!” says Deadpool, trying to calm him down. One thing is clear, Deadpool and Wolverine call to mind the riotous banter between Charles Grodin and Robert De Niro in Midnight Run.
