But before the main event, DeadpoolOpens in a new tab took on the persona of the late Bob RossOpens in a new tab and shared a little “Joy of Painting” of his own.
The actual footage from the film doesn’t begin until around 90 seconds into the teaser, but from there it gets pretty intense.

“After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.”
