New DEADPOOL 2 Poster Art Released By Artist Rob Liefeld and Dolby Cinema
Following yesterday's amazingly entertaining trailer for Deadpool 2, two new pieces of poster art have been released. The first comes from Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld, which is an homage to his well-known cover to The New Mutants #98, which was the first appearance of the character. When talking about the art during an interview with Fandango, Liefeld said:
"The cover to New Mutants #98 has become an iconic image, and it is the comic that introduced Deadpool and Domino to the world. New Mutants #98 has become a key image in the comic book pantheon, so I thought it would be great to pay homage with the movie cast… and I gotta be honest, man -- it turned out better than I imagined! I teamed up with a guy named Mike Capprotti, who I have worked with several times on many Deadpool covers. He has such a beautiful palette, and so we jammed together and came up with this great piece."
He went on to say:
"I didn't know that I was going to get a chance to recreate the cover of New Mutants #98 with actors as all these characters. That was my calling card. I brought the world Cable, Deadpool, Domino, and it changed the course of my career. It gave me the career that I've had, and so it was just a pleasure [to pay homage]. And now the fact that it's going to be a poster with Fandango! Fandango's a big deal. That’s huge. It’s my pinch-me moment."
If you want to get yourself a copy of the art, order your tickets from Fandango! The second poster that was released comes from Dolby Cinema and it features Deadpool sitting in a movie theater presumably watching Deadpool 2. The movie will be released on May 18th!
