Deadpool Cover for Empire Magazine Revealed

12/28/2015 01:40 pm EST

In addition to the tiny version you can see in this Deadpool infomercial ad for Empire Magazine, the publisher also released a full-size version of the new cover.

The cover shows Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool in full costume, wielding swords with guns strapped to his hips and implied blood splatter behind him. It's interesting to see, with as bankable a star as Reynolds, the mask staying on for all the promotional work. It's a testament to how much he and the team behind the film care about the character.

Check out the full cover below for the February cover date issue of Empire, hitting newsstands later this week with news on Deadpool, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Rogue One as well.
