We know Deadpool is headed to San Diego for Comic-Con International, but exactly how he’s getting there remained a mystery … until now, that is.

In a new photo posted to Twitter by Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds, the mutant mercenary is seen wearing a sombrero and serape while holding a sign reading “Comic-Con Por Favor” and attempting to hitch a ride along a busy road. While we’re pretty sure the former “Sexiest Man Alive” isn’t hitchhiking to the convention, it certainly wouldn’t be out of character for Deadpool, whose eccentricity is all part of his appeal.

“Hey #SDCC, Thank you for being a friend…” Reynolds wrote in the caption for the photo, offering an overt reference to Deadpool’s love for all things Golden Girls.

That wasn’t the only Deadpool-related photo to debut ahead of Comic-Con, though, as a set of new images from the film also arrived online this week courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. This batch, however, puts the spotlight on the movie’s supporting cast. (You can see a few of the photos below via ComingSoon.net.)

Among the cast members seen in the new cast photos are T.J. Miller (as Weasel), Gina Carano (as Angel Dust), Brianna Hildebrand (as Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Morena Baccarin (as Copycat), and Ed Skrein (as Ajax).

The solo debut for Marvel’s popular antihero, Deadpool follows former special forces operative Wade Wilson, who becomes a mercenary after being subjected to a military experiment that leaves him with superhuman healing powers. He then embarks on a mission to hunt down the man who nearly killed him in that rogue experiment.

Deadpool is expected to be one of several films to be featured in the 20th Century Fox panel at Comic-Con this Saturday, July 11, at 5:45 p.m. PDT.

Directed by Tim Miller and based on a script penned by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the R-rated Deadpool is scheduled to arrive in theaters February 12, 2016.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
