Between the Star Wars: The Force Awakens hype and the holiday season, you could say things have been a little slow for the superhero genre, but we mustn’t forget that the approaching new year will bring plenty of superhero content. This past week the clear standout was Deadpool, releasing a new poster and images leading up to the reveal of a new trailer, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice showed off a new TV spot, and Kurt Russell discussed the possibility of joining Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Catch up below.

‘Deadpool’: New Trailer, Poster, and Images Released

The Deadpool holiday countdown has come to a close with the reveal of a new IMAX poster (featuring a Stan Lee cameo), new images showcasing Colossus, and wrapping things up with the Christmas present that was the release of a new trailer. The new trailer follows the tone set up by the previous one with the action and humor fitting of a Deadpool movie, and also gives us new looks at what’s coming our way on February next year, including Colossus, Angel Dust, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. And while a red-band trailer is the way a Deadpool trailer should be enjoyed, a clean version was also released for the younger audience.

Recently it was being reported that actor Kurt Russell was being eyed by Marvel to take on a major role in James Gunn’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and now there has been confirmation of the possibility of Russell joining the sequel, coming from the actor himself. During an appearance on a podcast, Russell confirmed he had indeed received a call about appearing in the sequel, and regretfully added that he actually hadn’t seen the original Guardians of the Galaxy. Russell also revealed that while “amazed to get asked”, he will have to take some time to familiarize himself with the material and consider his decision.
