Another San Diego Comic-Con<\/a> has come and gone, and while there were so many great panels, signings, and other events to help make it a big success, one thing was clear: If you’re a fan of Deadpool,<\/em> you had a lot to choose from. Heck, you could almost call it Deadpool-Con.<\/p>\n

Entertainment Earth Was Deadpool Central<\/strong><\/p>\n

Entertainment Earth started things off at booth #2343 on Thursday by hosting a signing of exclusive Deadpool<\/em> merchandise<\/a> by the creator himself, Rob Liefeld. What better way to meet the man behind the raunchiest of superheroes, and what better way to get the convention off on the right foot?<\/p>\n

Entertainment Earth also offered collectors their first look at the new Deadpool and Cable Wooden Push Puppet<\/a>. A convention exclusive, the hidden button at the bottom allows the wacky superhero to collapse and then pop up again. But we’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Watch out for those katanas! This retro classic will be available in August 2018 from Entertainment Earth, and you can pre-order it now!<\/p>\n

Other Deadpool Happenings<\/strong><\/p>\n

People who were in Hall H from 5:15 pm – 6:15 pm got to see even more of the people behind Deadpool.<\/em> The panel included Deadpool<\/em> actor Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool 2<\/em> director David Leitch, as well as actors from the movie – Zazie Beetz, Brianna Hildebrand, and Stefan Kapi\u010di\u0107 – and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The moderator was Dopinder (Karan Soni), and you can bet the jokes were dirty and the discussion raunchy.<\/p>\n

Saturday night at the Horton Grand Theatre saw the premiere screening of the Deadpool 2 Super Duper $@%!#& Cut<\/em>. At the previous panel, Reynolds said there were so many alternate jokes and alternate scenes, \u201cYou can basically release a different movie.\u201d The Super Duper $@%!#& Cut<\/em> included 15 extra minutes of footage not part of the original film, and attendees also got to view deleted scenes, extended takes, and a lot of the alternate jokes Reynolds talked about. Those who missed out on the free exclusive Comic-Con trucker hat by not ordering The Deadpool 2 Super Duper $@%!#& Cut<\/em>\u00a0at the convention will be able to purchase the Super Duper Cut<\/em> in digital on August 7 and in 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on August 21. And by the way, the Deadpool 2 Year Anniversary Edition<\/em> Blu-ray is available for purchase now. It includes stickers, car decals, temporary tattoos, and even a set of paper dolls… just like in the movie.<\/p>\n

Other Deadpool<\/em>-related events at San Diego Comic-Con included Deadpool’s Super Duper Dance Party at the San Diego Convention Center, where Thursday through Saturday fans were entertained by Deadpool and his band of animatronic X-Force rejects. The first 1,200 who attended each day received a different Comic-Con exclusive T-shirt. Fans also had the chance to win a set of 18 Fox catalog Blu-rays with limited edition “photobombed” box art featuring Deadpool. Twenty-five were given out. And to top it off, fans had the chance to enter a sweepstake\u00a0in which the winner got to stay in the Deadpool Dream Suite on Saturday night. Half-finished IKEA furniture and pop-culture Easter Eggs were part of the fun, not to mention a full night of available movies from Vudu. In case you’re wondering: What happens in the Deadpool Suite stays in the Deadpool Suite.<\/p>\n

All in all, Deadpool<\/a> was a big hit at San Diego Comic-Con 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will he be back at the next convention? We have a year to find out.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
