New Deadpool trailer coming Christmas Day

12 Days of Deadpool kicks off today with new poster showing off jolly old St. Wade's "little friend"

The new, eagerly awaited Deadpool trailer will arrive on Christmas Day, not with the previews of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as many (including us) had previously speculated.

The confirmation was made over the weekend as Deadpool, "the other jolly guy in a red suit with a lap worth sitting on," announced plans to release his "holiday cheer" over the next 12 days.

Starting today and continuing up until the trailer's debut on December 25th, a new site will reveal a "tasty treat" regarding the upcoming film. Up first is Entertainment Weekly which released a fresh poster showing off the adult humor of the movie.

If you recall, the Alberta Film Ratings classification website did reveal a total of three trailers. It appears we'll still be getting an IMAX 3D exclusive trailer ahead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, while the full green band trailer will air on ABC on Christmas Day with the more adult-centered red band, as previously assumed, debuting online around the same time.
