‘Deadpool’ Trailer: The Merc With a Mouth Gets a Glorious Red Band Introduction
Ryan Reynolds dropped by Conan tonight to debut the red band trailer for Deadpool — because if you’re going to give Deadpool a proper introduction, you’re going to do so with a respectable amount of violence and profanity.
