Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Apr 26, 2016 3:39 PM UTC [_Deadpool_](http://time.com/4274867/deadpool-box-office-record/)star [Ryan Reynolds](http://time.com/4288051/salt-n-pepa-ryan-reynolds-mtv-movie-awards/) donated $5,000 toward a legal defense fund started by a Salt Lake City movie theater and pub that screened the Marvel film, which contains explicit content that state officials say violate Utah liquor laws that forbid serving alcohol during films with simulated sex scenes. Three undercover agents filed a complaint against Brewvies Cinema Pub after going to see the film there in February. Utah’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC) “has threatened to fine us or suspend or revoke our liquor license, just for showing R-rated films like _Deadpool,_ _Hangover 2_, _Magic Mike XXL_ and _Ted 2_,” the movie house claims on a crowd-funding [site](https://www.gofundme.com/nfzx5vqc). “The money that we are raising will go towards a legal defense fund to be used for legal fees seeking an injunction against the enforcement of a statute that violates our freedom of speech.” Reynolds also voiced his support for the campaign on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/724190356917641217): “Thank god, they’ve found a way to legislate fun.” The Associated Press [reports](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/8a83233d6be0437ebe1b015f1bc35e17/utah-threatens-liquor-permit-theater-showing-deadpool) that the state agency “has scheduled a meeting in May to discuss or possibly settle the complaint before further disciplinary action.” ## Transcript [00:00] Twentieth Century Foxes Deadpool trailer is officially [00:03] here. And the mark with the mouth definitely does not [00:06] disappoint. [ SOUND ] And please don't make the [00:08] super suit green. We're animated. Reynolds obvious [00:12] nod to his Green Lantern box office failure is just the [00:15] first of several inappropriate jokes in the up coming R [00:17] rated film. And both the rating and the jokes signify [00:21] a new age, so to speak, of Marvel comic based [00:24] movies. When Deadpool lands in theaters, it won't be a [00:27] watered down version of the comic book equivalent. [00:30] The movie will include the sex, swearing, and [00:32] gratuitous violence the fans of the book so expect. I'm [00:35] touching myself tonight. The raunchy humor in this [00:39] latest super- hero trailer and the wide praise it has [00:42] received from fans is a shift from past attempts to [00:46] bring humor to comic book movie first looks, like in [00:48] Guardians of the Galaxy. In Guardians of the Galaxy, [00:52] Chris Pratt's character Star Lord gives the audience the [00:55] finger in the trailer, but it's blurred out. Oh, I'm sorry. I [00:58] didn't know how this machine worked. If the [01:03] foul- mouthed Deadpool trailer is any indication of [01:05] what to expect, Fox might score big with the upcoming [01:08] flick, despite the R rating. It's an absolute miracle [01:13] that a studio let us make Deadpool, let alone a rated R [01:18] Deadpool. Fox seems to have full confidence in its [01:21] modern day version of the anti heroes within the [01:24] Marvel universe. Like Deadpool, Channing Tatum's [01:26] upcoming Gambit flick, hopes audiences will fall in love [01:29] with heroes that aren't quite white knights. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4307702/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-salt-lake-city-utah/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4307702/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-salt-lake-city-utah/"},"headline":"Ryan Reynolds Supports Theater Under Fire for Showing Deadpool","datePublished":"2016-04-26T15:39:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:54.746Z","description":"A \"heroic\" deed from the star of the superhero movie","url":"https://time.com/4307702/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-salt-lake-city-utah/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7a5d2be40d48573d/698890a4bc6cfc53613dcbab/gettyimages-509085358.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
