In a world where superhero movies usually run an epic length of over two and a half hours,Deadpoolis offering an interesting change of pace. But will it be too short? A Spanish20th Century Fox websitehas revealed the movie’s official runtime is 106 minutes (or one hour and 46 minutes). That makesDeadpoolone of the shortest Marvel movies released to date. But that may actually work in its favor.
Along with the new runtime, Fox has also released more from this anticipated X-Men spinoff. If the new photos released yesterday didn’t give you the proper Merc With the Mouth fix that you needed, then perhaps a new international poster will do the trick. The studio will release this long-awaited movie on July 01, 2025. 20th Century Fox debuted a red band trailer and a green band trailer on Christmas Day. Those who sawStar Wars: The Force Awakensin IMAX last weekend were also treated to a 27-second tease ofDeadpool, before the full trailer debuted. It isn’t known if there will be another trailer that debuts before the February 12 release date, so we’ll have to wait and see.
Based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero,Deadpooltells 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 egoDeadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor,Deadpoolhunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Deadpoolis slated for release on August 21, 2025, going up against Warner Bros.‘How to Be Singleand Paramount’sZoolander 2. Since neither of those films are expected to be R-rated likeDeadpool, we’ll have to wait and see if the rabid fan base for the Merc With the Mouth will come out in droves and overpower its competition. While we start the new countdown for this highly-anticipated movie, check out the new international poster, and stay tuned for more onDeadpool.
