Deadpool invades Japanese 'X-Men: Apocalypse' trailer in after-credits scene

TOKYO, June 27 (UPI) -- Ryan Reynolds made a surprise appearance as Deadpool in the Japanese trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse.

Described by Deadpool as the first ever end-credits scene for a trailer, the mutant mercenary goes on to mock the film, studio Fox and list five things the audience may have missed.

"Oh hi Japan," Reynolds says in full-costume at the end of the clip. "Deadpool here, surprised? I just wanted to share with you my two cents on five things you may have missed in the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer."

"I know what you're thinking, an after-credits scene for a trailer? I thought they only did that for movies right? Well not everyone makes it to the end of Fox movies, so now we're doing it after trailers," he continues.

Other jokes include jabs at Psylocke (Olivia Munn) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), with Deadpool comparing his claws to that of Japanese Ginsu knives.

Deadpool's appearance comes days after producer Simon Kinberg confirmed that Deadpool 2 would begin filming in early 2017.
