Fox surprised and disappointed “X-Men” fans Thursday morning when its Hall H panel ended with only one film presented, “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” and not even a casual mention of the thing everyone expected to be front and center: “Deadpool 2.”
It’s not known precisely why Fox opted not to bring the Merc with the Mouth to Comic-Con this year.
Maybe it’s because the film they did bring is practically dripping with “Deadpool” influences … at least judging from the first five minutes.
If the “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” opener is anything to go by, everything ridiculous and exaggerated about the original action comedy is even more ridiculous and more exaggerated.
