Deadpool Kidnaps ‘Princess Bride’ Star Fred Savage In The Trailer For ‘Once Upon A Deadpool’
Shove this in your Christmas stocking.
The first trailer for Once Upon A Deadpool has just hit the internet, and what, you didn’t know there was a new Deadpool movie coming out this year? Well there is. Kind of.
Once Upon A Deadpool is a family friendly version of Deadpool 2 that shaves all the gratuitous violence and bad language of the original cut. Basically it’s the same movie “filtered through the prism of childlike innocence,” as Deadpool puts it.
The film is getting a limited run in theatres in the lead-up to Christmas, with $1 from every ticket sale with go to cancer charity Fuck Cancer (which will be temporarily renamed Fudge Cancer in the spirit of the promotion).
According to Deadline, the clean edit is three minutes shorter than the original and features a new framing device that involves Deadpool reading the story to The Princess Bride star Fred Savage, who he has kidnapped. But it turns out Savage is more of a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“You’re Marvel licensed by Fox,” he tells Deadpool in the trailer. “It’s like if The Beatles were produced by Nickelback.”
Check out the trailer below.
Once Upon a Deadpool hits cinemas in Australia on December 13. It is rated M.
