As Deadline reports, the Deadpool sequel is moving to a May 18 release, changing from the original June 1 release. As the entertainment source explains, this positions the movie well for the Memorial Day weekend.

The flick released a teaser way back in March of last year, and as expected, the entire teaser is hilarious—watch it all the way to the end for a brief synopsis of The Old Man And The Sea. It also features a ton of comic references and easter eggs and a cameo by the one and only Stan Lee. 

See how many easter eggs or references you can spot in the video below. We'll start you off with a hint: look at the writing on the phone booth.

Now we'll just excitedly await for that May 18 release, and let's be real: We're stoked.
