Variety has learned that the 2016 blockbuster, Deadpool, will finally premiere in China next month during the Beijing International Film Festival, which, this year, will run from April 15th to April 22nd.

According to their report, the film will screen unedited, with their source definitively stating that "All festival films should play in the original version,” which, considering how strict Chinese regulators tend to be, is a pretty major win for a film that is filled to the brim with R-rated material typically unsuited for the mainstream audience.

While it's unlikely that this premiere will contribute much, if anything, to the film's $783.1 million global box office haul, it may have some positive consequences for Deadpool 2, which has yet-to-be-confirmed for a China release date. If the first film was approved and is received well, maybe the upcoming sequel will also get approved by regulators, possibly even early enough to get a day-and-date release on May 18th.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.

I'm pretty excited in this film, yet I keep forgetting that its coming out so soon. I feel like an August release would have been a lot better for it than mid-May.

MosquitoFarmer - 3/18/2018, 10:42 AM

@AbidNaga - They're talking about the first movie, mate.

AbidNaga - 3/18/2018, 10:45 AM

@MosquitoFarmer - scratch out "this film" and replace it with "Deadool 2". Missed the headline :/

MosquitoFarmer - 3/18/2018, 10:47 AM

@AbidNaga - I know.

can't wait to hear the jokes that are lost in translation:

"Your countenance is in appearance like unto the spawn of a hemogenist fruit consisting of healthy fats and a nightmare dwelling American pervert, hail Mao."
