Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein star in the movie,
which, with dark humor, violence and offensive language, has an
"R" rating.
"I just felt like it was a character in a comic book universe
that could occupy a space that no one else could and no one else
could ever in the future as well," Reynolds, who plays Deadpool,
said.
"So I was always really excited about it. He's able to operate
in an 'X-Men' universe in a way which other characters could
never do that. So I just liked this idea of a protagonist that's
morally flexible."
According to the movie's synopsis, the film tells the story of
former Special Forces agent turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who
undergoes a rogue experiment to treat his cancer.
The operation leaves him scarred but also with powers that allow
him to heal quickly and Wilson, soon Deadpool, seeks revenge on
the man who carried out the experiment.
"There is a lot of Deadpool in me. I have a much better editing
system in my mind then Deadpool does," Reynolds said.
The movie comes with a legion of fans -- a surprise for Tony
Award winner Leslie Uggams who plays "Blind Al".
"This is awesome. This is a whole world that I didn't know
existed," she said. "And my son ... He's a Deadpool fan, so for
him, no matter what other stuff I did, this is the one."
