I like the Deadpool character a fair bit. The only thing I don’t like about him is that he was created by Rob Liefeld. The vast majority of Deadpool’s comic success came long after he left Marvel and was written and drawn by someone else. But in reality he is the creator of the character.
So Liefield was brought in as a consultant for a meeting with Fox’s Lauren Shuler Donner about the future of the character on screen. He twittered to both people following his feed about the results of the meeting, and I read about them at Filmonic
Walking into Deadpool movie meeting!!! Yowza!
Great Deadpool movie meeting! Lauren Schuler Donner and her team are headed in the right direction!
Deadpool movie checklist- DP in costume-check! Breaking 4th wall-check! Loads of killing-double check!
Deadpool movie- YES! Ryan Reynolds is on board!!!
Also excited to discuss possibilities of Cable in future X-films!!!
Clarification, Cable definitely NOT in Deadpool movie, but possible role in future X-films….not First Class.
Donner Company is on top of making the Deadpool movie that fans want. They get it. He’s funny, tortured, clever, a bastard and mucho action!
So it looks like many of the concerns fans had are clearly addressed to satisfaction here.
He will wear the costume, break the 4th wall (talk to the audience), be violent, and be Ryan Reynolds.
I don’t know how they are going to introduce Cable (the post apocalyptic chronologically misplaced future son of Scott and Jean) into the X-Films so I hope that part was just talk until they really flesh these films out more.
