Disneyland is introducing a comic book character famed for swearing at people, and excited fans are hoping he will curse at the family-friendly park.
The California theme park announced on Tuesday that a Deadpool meet-and-greet character will appear at the Avengers Campus in Disneyland California Adventure Park for a limited time starting Friday.
His appearance will tie-in with the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman which releases in theaters that night.
Some fans now hope that the foul-mouthed mercenary, whose films are rated R, will be able to swear at guests.
One Instagram user even wrote, ‘If he doesn’t swear at me, the magic is gone.’

Another asked whether the costumed character will be allowed to swear ’cause I wanna see him cuss out Mickey,’ while a third wrote that ‘HR’s gonna have a field day with this one.’
But Disneyland officials insist that even though the Deadpool films are geared toward more mature audiences, any character appearance in Disney theme parks will offer an experience and interaction for all ages, they told The Orange County Register.
Some have since suggested that the masked superhero may not actually talk to the guests, but rather pantomime like the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck or Goofy.
It remains unclear how the family-friendly theme park plans to deal with the R-rated character
That would set Deadpool apart from the other superheroes at Disneyland’s California Adventure, who tend to interact and talk with guests.
Still, that would not prevent visitors from cursing at or near the quick-healing mercenary and posting their videos to social media.

Dirk Libbey, a writer for Cinema Blend, has instead suggested the character should ‘have access to a pre-recorded bleep so he can censor his own language, and then be irritated every time it happens.’
But it remains unclear how Disneyland plans to handle the R-rated character.
