This is Hitman Monkey, a new Marvel character created by Daniel Way. He'll be appearing in Deadpool then his own Marvel Digital comic.

And this is Rei Macaco (King Monkey) from Hector Lima and Wilson Jr's Zuda pitch of the same name. Which, although mentioned here, this image has never appeared online until after the Hitman Monkey promotion.

Nevertheless the similarity of pose, that both parties chose a macaque monkey, make it a nice coincidental comparison…
