Watch The First 10 Years of Deadpool
Even though the firstDeadpoolmovie didn’t come out until 2016, the idea for aDeadpoolmovie started kicking around in 2008. But unfortunately, his piss-poor appearance inX-Men Origins: Wolverinein 2009 completely derailed any chance of the Merc with a Mouth getting his own movie. For years, 20th Century Fox kept scoffing at the idea of an R-rated superhero movie likeDeadpool. All hope was lost.
But then that sizzle reel featuring Deadpool taking out bad guys on the freeway leaked onto the internet, and Fox saw how excited fans were at the prospect of aDeadpoolmovie like this. And the rest is history. That history is celebrated in this touching featurette that looks back at this timeline with fond memories. It brings a tear to your eye.
For all you Easter egg hunters out there, check out that crayon-drawn map at the beginning of this video. You might notice a crude drawing of a familiar mutant in a prison in the mountains with the label “Prisoner 24601,” which just so happens to be the number of Hugh Jackman’s characterJean ValjeanfromLes Miserables.
