After a long time of “radio silence”, it seems we have some news on the Deadpool front. It appears that the director’s chair for the proposed Marvel movie, Deadpool, has been offered.
The Playlist reports that 20th Century Fox has offered the job to writer-director Robert Rodrguez (Desperado, Sin City). This is a project that Rodriguez is considering, but of course, nothing is set in stone.
This is the second offer in five months that Fox has pitched to Rodriguez, preceded by an offer to helm the new Planet of the Apes reboot (which Rodriguez declined). But this could be a telling sign that Fox likes what they see of the director’s upcoming film Machete. He also wrote and produced their upcoming Predators sequel.
