Today’s new teaser for Deadpool 2 may not be what you expected—though after watching it, you may wonder how it could be anything else. Donning a curly wig and a tucked-in button-down shirt, Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson as Deadpool as Bob Ross emulates the soft-spoken demeanor of the late painter from his popular television show.
Off-brand humor is entirely on-brand for Deadpool, with sporadic pop culture references and humor related to drugs and masturbation, all while maintaining Ross’s relaxing tone. The scene is interrupted midway, and we get a short glimpse of the actual film. For brief seconds, we spot familiar supporting characters from the first Deadpool in various action shots: Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) in her X-Men uniform, Blind Al (Leslie Uggams) and Weasel (T. J. Miller) wielding guns, and even taxi driver Dopinder (Karan Soni) joining in on the fun. Additionally, we get a look at new character Domino (Zazie Beetz), and a small tease of Josh Brolin’s Cable at the very end.
