Watch the 'Deadpool 2' Cut Scene Playing Before 'Logan' Showings
UPDATE: Fox has officially released the Deadpool 2 footage via Ryan Reynolds’s YouTube page. Watch above. (Warning: Explicit Language)
Fox is already teasing footage from Deadpool 2 before showings of Hugh Jackman’s Logan with a typically irreverent scene that pokes fun at Superman.
The scene involves Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds’s character when he’s not in the squeaky tight Deadpool costume) spotting a guy in trouble outside a screening of Logan and going into a phone booth to get suited and booted — he moons the audience in the meantime — while the epic Superman theme blares in the background. The guy dies, however, by the time he’s done changing.

“What is a phone booth doing on a street corner?” Deadpool wonders in one of his trademark fourth-wall breaks, before resting his head on the dead man’s body and stealing his Cherry Garcia ice cream… and then mocking Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
The clip also features a Stan Lee cameo, making up for the former Marvel editor’s absence in Logan.
Fox had no comment on the teaser, but a source told Variety that the footage is from a cut scene.
Instead of mentioning the release date, the teaser says “not soon enough.” The actual debut date for Deadpool 2 is in a year’s time — March 2, 2018. John Wick director David Leitch came on to direct Deadpool 2 last fall after Tim Miller dropped out due to creative differences with Reynolds.
Vox posted footage of the teaser, which appears to have been shot in a theater.
