On Friday night, ComicBook.com is closing out a packed week of epic Quarantine Watch Party with events with a simultaneous at-home viewing of Deadpool. The event will have a special guest on hand in the form of Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld, hosted throughout by ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis. In the video above, Liefeld’s commentary can be observed as we all watch Deadpool safely at home. The film debuted in 2016, introducing the Marvel Comics character to the big screen after an appearance many wish to forget in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Liefeld will be on social media, using QuarantineWatchParty and #Deadpool throughout the movie, while also playing host to a live commentary video streaming on Comicbook.com’s official Facebook and YouTube channel.
