"Colossus insisted we post this version of the Once Upon a Deadpool poster and what big guy wants big guy gets," wrote the official Deadpool movie Twitter account.

Along with the message was a poster that featured all of the Once Upon a Deadpool characters, including the not-so-young Fred Savage.

First, a portion of the proceeds had to go to charity. Second, I wanted to kidnap Fred Savage. The second condition took some explaining…"
