Deadpool 2's cut villain Omega Red revealed at last
We know that Deadpool 2 cut a cameo from baddie Omega Red, so we were delighted at the news that he is finally due to appear in the movie's Super Duper Cut Blu-ray release.
Well, now we have our first look at the villain thanks to make-up artist Bill Corso, who worked on the recent Marvel sequel.
The artist posted a series of pictures of the concept art for a number of villains that were cut from the movie, including Omega (who is sixth along).

"To celebrate the Comic Con showing of our special, Mega Fan only, 'Deadpool 2: the Unrated Cut', I've decided to show the, blink and you'll miss them, Mutant Villains of the Ice Box Prison," he wrote.
"Some characters from the Marvel Universe hidden here are Omega Red, and various others from sifting through the FOX approved X-Men Universe."
Actor Dakoda Shepley actually posted an image of himself in the Omega make-up back in May, though it slipped us by at the time.

He is known as one of Wolverine's biggest enemies in the X-Men franchise, though has never actually appeared in any of the movies.
Omega also has a connection to Deadpool, having both been involved in the Weapon X programme.
We will finally get to see his debut at Comic-Con in the "spandexier" version – aka the uncut one of Deadpool 2 – that screens this weekend.
