‘Deadpool’ NBA Promo Teases Christmas Trailer On ESPN, Sadly Doesn’t Make A Joke About Balls
Thanks to the 12 Days of Deadpool promotion that’s been going on, we already know that there’s a new trailer for the Merc with a Mouth’s proper movie coming on Christmas Day. And now we know where theDeadpooltrailer will premiere as well with a new NBA-theme promo featuringRyan Reynoldsdoing some holiday rhyming whileT.J. Milleras Weasel decorates the Christmas tree.
Check out the amusingDeadpoolNBA promo after the jump!
Here’s the trailer promo for Deadpool from JoBlo:
Just how much work did Ryan Reynolds do for all this marketing that 20th Century Fox is doing this holiday season? Since Deadpool wears a mask, Reynolds doesn’t need to be in that suit all the time for these promos, but he seems like the guy who is so passionate about the character that he would put on the suit everytime just to make sure it’s done right.
Pretending to read from an NBA version ofThe Night Before Christmas, Deadpool details that the trailer forDeadpoolwill debut on ESPN during some of the big games happening on the sports network that day. But more than likely, if you’re not a basketball fan, the trailer will be available online right after it premieres. There’s even supposed to be a red band version of the trailer so we can get all the raunchiness that a Deadpool movie is supposed to have. It’s the kind of raunchiness that’s missing from this promo that somehow doesn’t have a joke about balls when you need it the most.
Anyway, we’ll have the Deadpool trailer posted as soon as it’s available online. So if you have some downtime from your family on Christmas Day, spend it with the Merc with a Mouth. In the meantime, you can watch therecent IMAX trailer tease right herealso the first red band trailerright here.
