If you've driven alongside a bus lately, chances are you've seen ads featuring cheeky slogans featuring a man in a snug-fitting head-to-toe red leather body suit.
These ads are for the new film about a man named Wade Wilson, played by Ryan Reynolds.
He's been diagnosed with cancer and one night he meets a mysterious man who gives him a way out of his death sentence.
Eventually, Wade takes that offer and becomes Deadpool - perhaps the snarkiest superhero ever seen on the silver screen.
Take Two's Alex Cohen spoke with the men who carefully crafted all of his R-rated lines, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
The two first started writing the film almost a decade ago. Unfortunately, a number of outside factors got in the way of their passion project seeing the light of day.
They say that just made the film finally getting released all the more satisfying.
Paul Wernick on learning more about Deadpool
We came across the character in 2009 when we first auditioned for the job. We're comic book guys, but the 90's passed us by. We had grown up a little bit and just weren't as into comics as we were when we were kids. When the job became available we educated ourselves on the comics. We poured through all the runs. And it was a character that was so refreshing to us. He's an anti-hero, he's not even a super hero. He breaks the fourth wall and he turns the genre on its head. We really fell in love with the character on the first read.
Rhett Reese on writing jokes with Ryan Reynolds
(Reynold's) sens of humor is very dark and twisted. I think you get that after sitting with him for ten minutes. So I think we felt very safe. We tend to like blue material and just silliness and immaturity. We're essentially teenage boys... I think all of our senses of humor was pretty much on the same page to the point where we realize we couldn't offend anyone so that was very freeing.
