Their R-rated spin on superhero movies was a big reason why the Deadpool movies have enjoyed such enormous box office success. But the Ryan Reynolds-starring series is looking to reach an even broader audience this holiday season with the release of Once Upon a Deadpool, a PG-13 cut of Deadpool 2.A new trailer for this less-vulgar version of Deadpool is leaning into its kid-friendliness by utilizing Fred Savage of A Princess Bride fame. In a set-up much like that 1987 film—where Savage is read the story of Buttercup and Westley from his bed by his grandfather—Deadpool has trapped Fred in that nostalgic bedroom and is reading him the sanitized version of Deadpool 2.“Nobody does childhood innocence like you, Fred,” Deadpool explains. “Nobody.”
The only F word in this movie is Fred Aaron Savage. #OnceUponADeadpool #AsYouWish pic.twitter.com/fkzhLhWrPj
