NEW Deadpool x X-Men Crossover! Watch Him Crash This Japanese X-Men Trailer

A Deadpool / X-Men crossover might still be some way away, but Fox has given us a little tease of what that might look like by dropping the Merc with the mouth into a recent Japanese trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse to highlight “five things you might
have missed” from the teaser…

Popping up at two minutes thirty in the video below, Deadpool helpfully explains that the studio are now introducing post-credits stings to its trailers as “not everyone makes it to the end of Fox movies”. Ooh, BURN. Check it out, below…

Meanwhile, Deadpool fans also got some more good news over the weekend, with producer Simon Kinberg revealing that work on a sequel is set to get underway in 2017. Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller are already confirmed to return, with Kinberg revealing that they’re hoping to have a script ready to go by the beginning of next year.

Plot details are pretty sketchy, although the expectation is that the time-travelling mutant Cable will be involved, following the hint dropped by the first film’s post-credits scene. A specific release date has yet to be confirmed.
