Deadpool crashed Deadpool's honest trailer because Deadpool is that meta

The fourth-wall-breaking anti-hero crashed his own honest trailer

Despite expectations from both analysts and the film’s studio, Deadpool has been a gigantic box-office success, quickly becoming the highest-grossing R-Rated film of all time.

There’s no doubt about why the film did so well: Ryan Reynolds. Before the film’s release, the actor basically embodied the fourth-wall breaking anti-hero, doing interviews still wearing his costume and popping up all over the internet.

Now that the film is being released on DVD, Reynolds is back at it, appearing on the film’s very own honest trailer and holding nothing back, poking fun at his own movie (and Family Guy).

Elsewhere in Fox’s superhero universe, X-Men: Apocalypse is almost in cinemas, with reviews having just hit the internet.

Unfortunately for the studio, initial reactions have not been positive, critics generally feeling the film is a bit ‘meh’.

The film’s writer and producer also spoke about the next X-Men film, stating it will likely be set in the 90s (following Apocalypse, set in the 80s).
