Phillip Boutte’s concept art for the look of some of the characters from X-Men Origins: Wolverine gives us a peek at what the characters were originally going to look like. Just a reminder, that this is from the movie that just came out, not the Deadpool movie they are apparently working on right now.
Now, I like what they were doing with Wade Wilson, hinting at the original mask pattern from the comics, but in the movie I liked that he was just a regular looking guy BEFORE he was Deadpool. I loved everything about Reynold’s Wade Wilson, but not “Deadpool”.
Heck, I didn’t even care about the Weapon XI character, and I think that they even called him Deadpool or implied that it was Wade in the first place was my issue. (this is hinted never confirmed – its not even Reynolds in the XI digs)
On the drive home from the theater, all John and I talked about was how they would “fix” this to allow for a good Deadpool movie, and from all accounts so far they are going to go with a closer adaptation to the Deadpool everyone wishes we saw.
What do you think of the concept art?
