Seems that Ryan Reynolds is still on board with Deadpool when they decide to make it and supers producer Lauren Schuler Donner has recently said in an interview that she’s talked to Reynolds about it and affirms his commitment to the role.
Reelcomix quotes Lauren Schuler Donner
“Ryan is so committed to being Deadpool. He is Wade Wilson. Well, no, he’s Deadpool. He is so committed to it that he worked with the writers on the script. Even though he’s doing Green Lantern, he’s stayed involved in that project. It’s very different. It’s like Harrison Ford doing Star Wars and Indiana Jones. DC and Marvel are different universes with different movies. But sure, the more popular and well known he is the better.I’m hoping we’ll get it off the ground next year.”
So we know that Reynolds is all for the role, and we know that Donner and Fox want to make a Deadpool film. But “when” is the big question.
WB/DC is preoccupying the star for their superhero film and Reynolds has other projects on the go too. He is one busy guy.
I just hope they do get him to play Wade Wilson Deadpool so we can ignore the last part of Wolverine and move on like Weapon XI was not Wilson.
