Deadpool made his theatrical debut in 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." However, avid Marvel fans were displeased with how Deadpool was portrayed in the movie.

Fortunately, a stand-alone movie was soon to be developed, so fans looked forward to seeing Deadpool's cinematic redemption. However, by 2011, 20^th Century Fox executives were not impressed with what they saw and ultimately shelved the project.

After being stuck in development hell, a leaked "Deadpool" test footage was aired during last year's Comic-Con and was met with positive response. This led to 20^th Century Fox rethinking the project.

"The response from the fans was overwhelming and it ultimately triggered a green light. Within two months we were in preproduction," director Tim Miller said.

The "Deadpool" cast and crew were present during Comic-Con earlier this year to finally promote the upcoming film, set to be released early next year.

Miller, along with the cast and crew, are set to redeem the "Deadpool" movie.

"Deadpool appearing in 'Origins' is not the Deadpool we are representing in this film, in any way shape or form," Ryan Reynolds, who portrays Deadpool, said. Reynolds acknowledged that Deadpool was not initially portrayed accurately and will take this rare second chance to produce the most authentic Deadpool.

"Deadpool" tells the tale of a terminally ill Wade Wilson. After a rogue experiment goes wrong, Wilson is left with scars all over his body. He also develops superhuman abilities including accelerated heating and self-healing powers. Wilson then becomes a mercenary set to take revenge on the man who ruined his life.

In staying true to the Marvel source material, "Deadpool" will be unlike any other Marvel superhero movie.

Deadpool is a foul-mouthed, violent and obscene anti-hero. The movie also takes place in bars, clubs and dilapidated apartments. Far, far away from the "X-Men" world we've come to know.

The movie will also be R-rated, which will be a gamble for the studios.

"Deadpool is a hard R. It's graphic. Nothing is taboo. You either commit to a truly outrageous, boundary-pushing kind of movie or you don't," producer, Simon Kinberg said.

Since giving the green light for the movie, 20^th Century Fox continuously promoted the film ahead of its official release date. The studio has released trailers and official images for fans who have been waiting patiently for the film.

"Deadpool" will also feature a minor but very familiar "X-Men" character. Colossus has already featured in three "X-Men" movies. Unfortunately, Daniel Cudmore will not reprise his role, so Andre Tricoteux will be taking over the role.

The film also features actors T.J. Miller as Weasel, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin as Copycat, Gina Carano as Angel Dust and Ed Skrein as villain, Ajax.

"Deadpool" will be released to theaters on Feb. 12, 2016.
