Over the last month, those involved with Fox's Deadpool film have been slowly feeding us casting news and some tidbits about the film. Now, courtesy of Ryan Reynolds, the man bringing the Merc With a Mouth to life, we get our first look at the costume he will be seen wearing in the movie,
I had complete faith that the costume would be amazing, but even this goes beyond my expectations. Fox is clearly doing the character justice, and director Tim Miller is taking this very seriously. The costume is a brighter red than seen in the test footage, which was more of a maroon. It looks like it was ripped straight out of the comics. He's got all the harnesses, he's dripping with pouches and weapons, (though his swords are missing) his eyes are white, and the black patterns on the suit are almost exactly like the comics.
I was kind of expecting a more militarized suit for Deadpool, like Captain America's costume, but come on; it's Deadpool. Only he would go around killing people in spandex. This is the most loyal costume ever adapted into a comic book film, in my opinion. I can't think of a better way of throwing Deadpool on the big screen. With this beautiful costume, maybe this is a sign of some of the more colorful costumes of the X-Men being adapted on film? I doubt it, but still.
Deadpool arrives in theaters on February 12, 2016 with Tim Miller directing and starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, among others.
