just wishfull thinking. Hopefully they take their time and not rush anything, and this movie could be just as good as the first two x-men movies.

This will obviously be tied to the existing XMen franchise.

They have no reason NOT to. Especially with the same actor playing Wade Wilson becoming Deadpool.

Will this even be part of Fox’s X-universe? They could just make a stand alone movie with no ties to any of the previous x-movies.

Wolverine:origins was a complete waste of a lot of characters, and if they want to keep this movie in that universe they could just change it so that “Deadpool” was another mutant and not Wade. Healing factor, optic blast, teleportation, retracable blades(?); he only had those powers, and was supposed to be a pool of all of the mutants that they had captured? They’ll say it was mimic, and that will free up Wade to become the reall deadpool.

from my understanding Micho, (and i read Deadpool comics religiously) breaking the 4th wall is when a character acknowledges that they are in a comic (or movie). it can be them looking at the ‘camera’ or explaining how everything will be alright and they won’t get killed because they ‘are the main character in the comic’ (i believe deadpool has said that one before) so its pretty amusing. although im not sure how it’ll work in a movie, i think i’d rather him just be a smartass to everyone in the movie like in origins

The “Fourth Wall” refers to a stage set like a house. We view the tv show or movie looking at a room with three walls, but the actors don’t acknowlege that there is no fourth wall. We are viewing the show as an audience from that wall.

If a character acknowledges the audience (with a comment or interaction) he breaks the illusion that there is a fourth wall.

In short, when a character talks to an audience that isn’t supposed to be there, its called Breaking the Fourth Wall.

Even still, “input” isn’t “final say”. That’s all. I wish it was:(

It’s great to hear that Deadpool/ Wade Wilson will be breaking the fourth wall in the film. Now I wonder if Reynolds will also put on the mask? I have a feeling that there will be little air time of seeing Deadpool with his mask on. And who would be the his villan/ rival? I don’t believe that he has a true arch nemesis, just lots of enemies that want to see him dead. Maybe they will have Typhoid Mary or T-Tay in there.

if you waited until the end of the credits for Xmen Origins, you would have seen that Deadpool (uHEM! correction WADE WILSON’S) arm comes out of the rubble and touches his severed head and his eyes open and the he puts his finger over his mouth and says “shhhh” and the movie ends….so yea he came back to life like he always does in the comics.

And that whole 4th Wall bullshit is NOT that fuckin important. Its kinda fuckin stupid actually. what works in a comic book is definitely not always gonna work on scree. That’s why you psycho fans don’t always get every lil detail that you want or else a LOT of movies would SUCK.

Thats good. At least someone knows about Deadpools origins.

Wadw Wilson/Wweapon xi doesnt know what deadpool is and has never been in the deadpool game and wont be until like 2 years after

The whole “calling him deadpool in the movie” thing is obviously to attract people or fans who dont know better. Cash grab, and its obviously bullshit. But whatever, hopefully this turns out good, bring in cable maybe.

And the 4th wall thing sounds very stupid but im sure they can make it so its cool. Deadpool is the only self aware comic book character, why deprive him of his most known factor in the movie? Have him break the 4th wall in a flashback or something./ it can be made right, question is: WILL they make it right
