If there is one thing fans can expect from the new "Deadpool" movie starring Ryan Reynolds, then it will be the fact that it's going to be super hard core.
"'Deadpool' is a hard R," producer Simon Kinberg assured Entertainment Weekly. "It's graphic. Nothing is taboo. You either commit to a truly outrageous boundary-pushing kind of movie or you don't."
It will actually be Marvel Cinematic Studios' first R-rated film, which is really different from other hits such as "Avengers: Age of Ultron," "X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Ant-Man," and the standalone films of Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor.
First-time director Tim Miller even compared it to another testosterone-filled movie created by David Fincher. "I felt Fight Club and Tyler Durden were good corollaries," he said. "We are in strip clubs and dive bars and crappy apartments and far away from the shiny X-Men world."
And based on the latest pictures of "Deadpool" that have been released, both Kinberg and Miller are right. In one photo, the anti-hero was seen carrying two guns on both hands while looking over his shoulder.
The "Deadpool" movie tells the origin story of Wade Wilson, a former operative who used to work for the Special Forces but eventually became a mercenary.
After being asked to submit himself to a rogue experiment, Wilson was left with extraordinary healing powers and he later adopted the alter ego Deadpool. Combining his new abilities with his sinister sense of humor, Deadpool goes on a hunt for the man who almost destroyed his life.
Aside from Reynolds, other cast members include TJ Miller as Weasel, Gina Carano as Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin as Copycat and Ed Skrein as Ajax.
Reynolds has earlier expressed hope that "Wolverine" actor Hugh Jackman will make a cameo on his film, since he has nothing but respect and admiration for the actor and the character he portrays.
"I hope so, that would be really nice," Reynolds said about the possible Wolverine cameo in "Deadpool." "I don't know, we'll see. It seems like he's open to it, but it's going to be more of a scheduling issue than anything else."
"Zombieland" writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick worked on the script of the movie. "Deadpool" will hit theatres on February 12, 2016, more than three months earlier than X-Men: Apocalypse, which is scheduled for release on May 27.
