As the release date for popular superhero movie franchise 'Deadpool 2' is nearing, Ryan Reynold's mouthy and lovable character is shot in a video, wearing a pink suit. The film collaborates with online fundraising platform Omaze to raise the public's awareness of cancer and the importance of charitable drives. Deadpool's pink suit is designed to encourage people to donate to the 'Fuck Cancer' initiative. This will automatically enter them in a draw for the suit.
One might wonder what could be done with an action suit from a superhero movie franchise, however, Wade Wilson gives some good suggestions that range from adding the suit "to your weekly wardrobe rotation," to appropriating it as a "colorful addition to your S & M dungeon."
