00:00What in the foxicle is this?

00:06CinemaCon is still going strong in Las Vegas and Thursday's 20th Century Fox

00:10presentation got a little R-rated thanks to Deadpool.

00:13The studio kicked off its presentation with a chorus line of dancers followed by

00:17Deadpool 2 star Ryan Reynolds appearing in character in a video message

00:21to apologize for not being there.

00:23The video included Fox distribution chief Chris Aronson emerging from under some covers

00:28and wearing an outfit from a stunt he performed for The Greatest Showman at last year's CinemaCon.

00:32Greatest Showman and Logan star Hugh Jackman also appeared in the video.

00:36When Reynolds told the marketing chief he was late for his CinemaCon speech, Aronson said,

00:40I'm totally fucked. To which Reynolds remarked,

00:43Looks like Comcast really dodged a bullet. A reference to Comcast previously flirting with an acquisition of Fox.

00:49The video ended with a tiny nod to Disney's pending acquisition of Fox.

00:53Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto could be seen in the background, which got a big laugh from the

00:58CinemaCon crowd.

00:58Mmm.

00:59I'm all out of love. I'm so lost without you. I know you were right.

01:05Stop the fucking car!

01:06But Deadpool wasn't the only icon to make an appearance. Freddie Mercury stepped out on stage,

01:12aka actor Rami Malek, who portrays the late Queen frontman in Fox's Bohemian Rhapsody.

01:17The star spoke about the pressures of playing the iconic artist and introduced the first trailer for the film.

01:22The trailer, which has not yet been released online, opens with Queen's classic song,

01:26Bohemian Rhapsody, playing in the background, as a young Mercury asks to be the lead singer of a band.

01:31One of his future bandmates retorts, not with those teeth, mate. The rest of the trailer is made up of vignettes

01:37of Mercury and Queen discovering their sound, finding fame on stage, and the singer being questioned

01:42about his personal life. The trailer ends with Mercury stepping out on stage at the iconic 1985 Live Aid concert,

01:49back to a track of We Are the Champions. Malek said during the presentation,

01:53When I got this role, I thought, oh my god, this could be a career-defining performance.

01:57And then two minutes later, I thought, this could be a career killer.

02:00Queen guitarist Brian May has seen the movie and emailed Malek to say the film brought him to tears,

02:06and that if Mercury was alive, he would be proud of it.

02:08Bohemian Rhapsody opens November 2nd.

02:11And as speculation swirls about the impact of Disney's pending $52.4 billion acquisition of Fox assets,

02:17Stacey Snyder led the presentation in what felt like her final turn at CinemaCon as chairman of 20th Century Fox film.

02:24Snyder shared hosting duties with Aronson. Snyder told the crowd,

02:27The Fox session wrapped with a marching band walking down the aisles of the Coliseum Theatre at Caesars Palace

02:47while playing the 20th Century Fox theme song.

02:49For much, much more from CinemaCon, be sure to head to theater.com.

02:53Until next time, for The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.
