"Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar-Pei" to directly quote Cable & Deadpool. I thought it was funnier though when I read "Shap-Pei" as "Sharpie"

I think he is perfect for the Merc with a Mouth as that is what Reynolds is known for ... the mouth part but he also can obviously be very physical as well. I think he proved himself with XMO: Wolverine; he had the character within the boundaries that he were given.

I don't think a reboot is necessary. In Wolverine we had a 6 year window between the time we saw Wade and when Weapon 11 came to be, that gives plenty of time for there to be a Deadpool part in his life. It also does not need to be during those 6 years, Wade was obviously Wade+ in the Wolverine movie (Striker only wanted mutants and no matter how good you are you can’t assume you can deflect 1000% of bullets). I can easily see a film where Wade finds out he has Cancer (like in the comic) meets Striker (or someone else related with the program) who decides to use Wolverine to cure him, we have Wade+ in the team, then something happens he decides to become a masked mercenary and Deadpool is created.

Perfect way to market this movie.

Got this done by Marc Wolfe at the Fan expo, I asked for a sketch of Deadpool which costs $30 but when I came back he said he screwed up and started using colours (full colour costs over $100), I asked if I had to pay more and he said no because he was the one that made the mistake, I was pretty excited

I'd watch it based solely on that.

Another update. Stuff we've already posted...

Rob Liefeld created Deadpool in The New Mutants comic book in 1991, which eventually led to the character appearing in X-Men Origins: Wolverine this past summer. Now Liefeld is talking with producer Lauren Schuler-Donner about the direction the potential Deadpool film will take, and if his Twitter account is any indication, he’s pretty happy with it.

Here’s what Liefeld had to say last night and today via Twitter:

That third note apparently caused some confusion, as Liefeld clarified today that Cable will not be in Deadpool, nor X-men First Class, but possibly in future X-men movies that follow from The Last Stand.

He also reiterated that Ryan Reynolds will star. Deadpool had been going full-steam ahead, with a small group of writers in contention for screenwriting duties, when Ryan Reynolds signed with Warner Bros. to play Green Lantern. That didn’t kill Deadpool, but it did introduce a delay which has evidently allowed Fox to talk to more writers and get their approach in order. Last I heard no one had been hired yet, but that was a week or more ago, so things could have changed.

Regardless, there is no script at this stage, so take all of Lefield’s statements as indicators of where the movie is likely to go. Until there is a draft in hand, that’s all we really know. But for everyone who was irritated by the character as portrayed in Wolverine, that might be enough.

(Note: I purposely cropped out all feet in the image above in honor of Liefeld’s work.)

Small delay = more time for them to make sure they get it right



...you know as long as Fox lets the filmmakers MAKE THE FILM....

Yea, I know that's a lot to ask for, but its possible.

I hope they take their time and get it right.

If done right is the key issue. Somehow I doubt Ryan Reynolds had much input on Deadpool in Wolverine whereas now he is the moniter according to him.

I liked the movie as well. It could have been better but not a bad start for Wolvie series.

I hope they use a Deadpool costume similar to Spidey

I think thats what the DP costume check meant or at least I hope, great news though, I thought reynolds was good in Wolverine. It would also be great if we could get this movie by 2011

I didn't think Iron man flew under the radar, it was number 1 for 2 weeks and made a ton of cash.

ok....the hype wasn't surrounding the 1st one like it is for the 2nd one.

maybe it'll come in all quiet like and blow people away like iron man did.

Iron Man did sort of "fly under the radar", no one thought it would be as successful and well received as it was by the public.
Iron Man wasn't very well known to the average person that doesn't read the comics, I knew virtually nothing about him until the theatrical trailer hit.

So it was a superhero that was under the radar.

to me, deadpool fits that same criteria as well....not alot of people know the real character.

probably because he really hasn't hit the main stream you kind of have to be around marvel games/ comics to know who he is...

I mean I liked his costume when I was little so thats how I got into it, but if you had just been watching the marvel shows on tv growing up you might not not even know who he is(shocker!!) I believe he was only in two episodes of the x-men cartoon for a few seconds because they were dream sequences.

I remember one of the later episodes where Morph turned into him when he was messing with Wolverine.
