All The Characters In The Deadpool 2 Trailer

With the debut of the teaser trailer for Deadpool 2 finally dropping earlier this morning, audiences got their first look at many of the new characters we'll be introduced to in the long-awaited sequel. Of course, these brief glimpses came after about a minute and a half of the Merc with a Mouth riffing on America's sweetheart and all-around greatest human being to ever walk the earth, Bob Ross. After Wade Wilson's take on the Joy of Painting (appropriately designated Gettin' Wet on Wet with Deadpool 2) wrapped up with some technical difficulties and a drug-fueled freakout, the action kicked into high gear. For about 10 seconds, anyway.Through a brief series of less-than-revealing jumpcuts, the Deadpool 2 teaser functioned exactly as it was intended: build up hype around the film while giving away as little as possible. And while the official movie synopsis that was released in the aftermath of the trailer was admittedly hysterical, it somehow managed to reveal even less information than the teaser.

We may know next to nothing regarding the actual plot of the film itself (assuming that Deadpool hasn't left his day job to become "a disfigured cafeteria chef") but there's still quite a bit to glean from the teaser from a character standpoint. In case you missed them amongst the chaos, or if you were still too busy giggling from the Bob Ross riff, read on to see who popped in to say hi in the teaser.

Deadpool (obviously)

This probably didn't need confirmation, but yes, Deadpool does indeed appear in the first look trailer for Deadpool 2. Wade Wilson follows up a solid Bob Ross impersonation with a starring role in the 10 seconds of movie footage. The world's chattiest mercenary unleashes all sorts of hell in the clip, brandishing sidearms and chainsaws while showing off some serious muscles by ramming himself into a car to forcibly eject a bad guy.

It's that last bit that's particularly intriguing; Wade is seen sprinting head on into a parked car, hitting it hard enough to blast out the windows and send his target tumbling out of the vehicle. In his early comic appearances, Deadpool was depicted with super strength, though that ability was eventually dropped. It remains to be seen just how strong the big screen version of the character is.

Vanessa

Wade Wilson's lady love Vanessa makes a brief appearance in the teaser, in which you can spot her leaping into his arms. Vanessa fell hard for the fast-talking mercenary the first time around, and it looks like she's sticking by her man despite his lengthy disappearance and topographical-map-of-Utah-like face.

We don't know much about what to expect from the character in Deadpool 2, though Monica Baccarin has previously teased Vanessa's "evolution" in the follow-up. Does that mean that Copycat is on the way? We'll find out in June.

Dopinder

Karan Soni returns to Deadpool 2 as our hero's taxi driver of choice/all around chill dude Dopinder. Sure, he may have kidnapped his romantic rival in the first outing. He might have even killed him. But when you need a lift to go exact vengeance on a supervillain, there's no other cab you'd rather see pull up outside your home.

Dopinder actually gets more screentime than any other supporting character in the sizzle reel, where he's seen hocking a loogie while slo-mo walking with Deadpool and gearing up with Weasel. He's looking at an expanded role in the sequel for sure.

Actress Leslie Uggams also makes a return in the sequel, because you can't have a Deadpool sequel without Blind Al. When she's not struggling to assemble Ikea furniture, she's busy being the best roommate ever. Wade Wilson would be lost without her, so its great to see her returning for the follow-up.

Here's hoping she never has to fire that gun she's toting in the teaser, though. We can't imagine she's all that accurate with that thing.

Weasel

The first Deadpool film shocked moviegoers with its brutal violence and raunchy humor, and TJ Miller's Weasel was a major contributor to the latter. Wade Wilson's best pal may have an unfortunate nickname, but this bartender is about as faithful as they come. We're definitely looking forward to seeing Weasel spout off a few new descriptions of the haunting nature of Wade's face, because even superheroes need to stay grounded.

Weasel's sole trailer appearance sees him having some fun with firearms, and with Dopinder at his side, it looks like all of Deadpool's friends will need to come together to lend a hand in the sequel.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead

Brianna Hildebrand's Negasonic Teenage Warhead pops in to say hi in the teaser in fitting fashion: with a big old F U, one that's likely directed at the titular hero. The young hero looks to have grown her hair out a bit, but other than that, it looks like this angsty X-Men hasn't changed all that much.

That's a good thing, by the way, because the character was a definite highlight of the first Deadpool. Here's hoping she gets a bit more screentime this time around -- and that her awesome fauxhawk survives the atomic energy bursts she'll surely unleash at some point.

Whoever Julian Dennison is playing

Not much was known about young Julian Dennison's role in Deadpool 2 when he was added to the cast last June, and we've received no further information on it since. From the looks of his brief appearance in the trailer, however, it looks like the 15-year-old star of Hunt for the Wilderpeople is rocking some serious mutant powers in his first superhero movie.

It's tough to say where the scene he features in takes place (though the "end is nigh" poster in the background is certainly foreboding), but judging by his hand movements and the sheer intensity of his face, he looks to be controlling the fire that surrounds him. Take from that what you will.

Domino

Aside perhaps from some time traveler named Nathan Summers, Zazie Beetz's Domino is the most highly anticipated addition to the Deadpool 2 cast. A mutant with the ability to manipulate the probability of events around her, Domino has all the ingredients you look for in a breakout star.

Like many of the other characters here, Domino appearance in the sizzle reel is of the blink-and-you'll-miss-it variety. Her shadowy figure is seen kicking in the door of what we're guessing is some sort of school (fingers crossed that this isn't Xavier's!), and then just like that, she's gone. This could be the same scene we just mentioned with Julian Dennison, since, you know, both locations are on fire.

Regardless, Beetz is set to kick all sorts of ass in Deadpool 2.

Easter Egg-filled credits

If you decided to close your web browser once the 10 seconds of footage had played and Bobpool had finished his painting, you missed some really fun Easter eggs in the credits.

The folks accredited to the production of Gettin' Wet on Wet with Deadpool 2 had some recognizable, if occasionally mispelled, names. They include "Lead Singer Jerrika Benton" (a nod to Jerrica Benton of Jem and the Holograms), "Chief Engineer Geordi Leforge" (which was his actual job on the Enterprise when LeVar Burton played him on Star Trek: The Next Generation) and "Ted E. Ruxpinn", a nod to the talking bear kids toy from the '80s. Also getting shoutouts were Wayne Campbell from Wayne's World (who impressively handled both camera 1 and camera 2 here), Tom Edison (whose lighting skills are unparalleled; everyone knows that), and Blanche Devereaux. Because if you don't love Golden Girls, you're awful.

Cable! ... 's hand

Fans who were hoping to catch a glimpse of Josh Brolin's Cable in action in this teaser were in for a bit of a letdown, as the character was held out of most of the proceedings. He does take center stage in the final Bobpool painting that's shown after the 10 second clip (a piece that features fellow sizzle reel no-show Colossus), though that fine piece of artwork was released a week or so ago.

But in typical Marvel fashion, the biggest addition to the Deadpool 2 cast was teased in a button sequence at the very end. Following the Easter-egg filled joke credits, Cable's metallic hand is seen reaching out to grab an attachment for his gun. Considering that Nathan Summers is the film's most anticipated new character, the advertising team was probably wise to hold off showing him in action for a while longer.

Who DIDN'T Appear

Easily the trailer's most notable absentee character is Jack Kesy's Black Tom Cassidy, the brother of Sean Cassidy (aka Banshee of the X-Men) and the supposed main villain of the sequel. It's important to note that Kesy's character has yet to be concretely confirmed by Fox, and the casting news actually came with the designation "Black Bob." That said...he's probably Black Tom Cassidy, and much like Cable, holding back on his reveal was a smart move by the advertising team.

The only other major character that was absent from the sizzle reel was Colossus, though his return has been confirmed, and he does feature on the Thanksgiving poster.
