Read the official synopsis for Ryan Reynolds’ DEADPOOL.

The first official synopsis for director Tim Miller’s DEADPOOL has found its way online via the film’s official website.

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Production began last week in Vancouver for a February 12, 2016 theatrical release. The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein, among others.
