Excuse the crappy image, but according to rumors circulating the web and elsewhere, that creepy looking bald dude holding the gigantic hand knife/blade/swords, is "supposed" to be Deadpool in the upcoming X-Men Origins Wolverine film.
To those saying that's Deadpool - I say, yeah right.
Let's consider the facts here, first off, Ryan Reynolds is playing Deadpool - does this guy look anything like Ryan Reynolds?
And if by some slim chance Marvel has completely ruined an iconic character like this, they have plans to do a spin off standalone Deadpool flick, now who in their right mind is going to watch a bald Ryan Reynolds parade around with knife hands for 2 hours?
Okay there's the defense that this is just a stage in the life of Deadpool, that later on, perhaps in the next movie he will become the Deadpool we recognize from the comics, but it still doesn't make sense. To further prove my point you need to watch the new trailer that has just been released, which you can find below:
I know its awesome right? But all awesomeness aside, did you notice the few glimpses of Mr. Reynolds ninja swording and flying across the screen? They happen after the clips of the bald guy, so considering events usually happen in chronological order, it wouldn't make sense if those two clips are in fact shots of Deadpool.
Now this may all be marketing trickery but unfortunately some product images have leaked online that show the action figure of Deadpool, and the design of the character is spot on to the bald knife guy, strange I know - but maybe it's all part of a viral marketing scheme to trick us into believing that Marvel and Fox plan to destroy the character, so that when we see the movie, and Deadpool is in his real red suit, we can all smile and say; oh you bastards you got us.
If not, then this will be one of the worst decisions by a movie studio since Batman had nipples.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine hits theaters May 1, 2009.
What do you think? Is That Deadpool? If not, then who is that guy?
