In true Deadpool style Ryan Reynolds just shared the highly-anticipated first official reveal of DEADPOOL, aka "The Merc with a Mouth". If fans were worried about the character in the hands of Ryan Reynolds or director Tim Miller, little nuggets like the one here are likely to do much to ease those worries.

For the beginning they've shown an understanding and devotion to Deadpool that was right out ignored during his appearance in the horrid X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The leaked trailer should have fostered a whole lot of good will. It was probably the first time that fans had a real hope that they would see a Deadpool movie worthy of the character.
