Marvel has released another TV Spot for its upcoming film "Deadpool," due out in just 10 days.
While Movie Web has reported that the movie has unfortunately been banned in China, it hasn't stopped the merc with a mouth from greeting his Chinese fans a happy year of the Monkey.
According to Comic Book Resources, the main reason why the film was banned in China was because the Chinese censors and the movie's creators could not agree on what stayed in the film and what was left out.
It seems that the film had too much violence and too much adult material in it that if more was censored the film would not make much sense, story wise. It will be interesting on how much this ban will hamper "Deadpool's" international box office numbers.
However, the Chinese New Year greeting is a marketing tactic to hopefully get through to other Asian markets such as Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, where there is a large Chinese audience.
In the trailer, Deadpool can be seen talking about several Chinese stereotypes such as complaining who is the watcher's new girlfriend, or when are you going to get married etc. When the anti-hero realizes he's on camera he quickly states Happy Year of the Monkey and a mini-trailer of the film begins.
As for the film itself, it has already been confirmed from multiple trailers that the movie will be focusing a lot on Deadpool's origins as well as rescuing the woman he loves.
Several X-Men will be making an appearance in the film, they include the organic metal amour strongman Colossus, and trainee Negasonic Teenage Warhead who can detonate atomic bursts from her body.
Screen Rant has confirmed that both characters will be receiving significant screen time in the film, even though the characters do not regularly interact with Deadpool in the comics.
It must be said that "Deadpool" has had one of the most interesting marketing campaigns for a movie. But considering the content from the comic books it seems to fit very well.
