Yesterday at the San Diego Comic Con a trailer was unveiled for the upcoming X-Men spinoff movie Wolverine , including a brief scene featuring Deadpool. It was confirmed many months ago that actor Ryan Reynolds was cast to play Deadpool in the upcoming movie, but no pictures had been released of Reynolds as Deadpool.
In the pictures Deadpool is not wearing his signature costume and does not appear to be scarred or disfigured. The Deadpool Bugle would like to extend a big thank you to reader Jeffrey who provided the photos of Deadpool's appearance.
In other SDCC news, it was reported that Deadpool makes a cameo in the upcoming animated feature Hulk vs. Wolverine that was screened yesterday and is set to be released to DVD in January 2009. A trailer for this movie can be seen here, but Deadpool's cameo is not included in the trailer.
UPDATE: A leaked version of the trailer can be seen here. The brief scene of Deadpool is about 45 seconds in.

V. excited by pictures, but so confused - I mean, I know this would have been early on, but...the costume? The deformity? We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

Deadpool didn't start off with his deformity. His healing factor and the cancer is what made him the ugly-ass Merc with a Mouth we know. He used to be fairly normal looking.
As for the ask: one shot where he looks to be training does not discount wearing a mask ever in the entire movie.
Yeah, I know that - I'm just concerned that if we're seeing him pre-Deadpool (i.e. pre-Wolvie's healing factor kicking in) they may not actually show him as Deadpool, because that'd be a lot to explain in a movie that's not primarily focused on Deadpool.
My theory is this is during the short period after he got injected but before the healing factor started working, although technically I think at that point he at least looked sick from the cancer. But during that time he did do some Weapon X team work, so it could fit this story. Although I don't think Wolverine was ever on the team he was with. Slayback and Kane and maybe Sabretooth, IIRC.
There's also the chance these aren't actual movie shots and are just rehearsal shots. It wouldn't be the first time leaked media isn't what it seems.
OMG where's his word bubbles??? You know, sickly yellow and floating somewhere above his head? How'm I s'posed to know what he's saying? Head...splodie....
FYI, a bootleg of the trailer is up now at Ain't it Cool (linked on my journal).
The trailer was shown at Comic-Con and Jackman said it was rough footage from the movie. There may be effects and things missing, don't know.
