It's official: The mutants are taking over Hollywood. And we're not talking about the freaks running the studios.

Following the monster weekend for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and a day after announcing that a Hugh Jackman-powered sequel is in the works, 20th Century Fox has confirmed to E! News that Jackman's costar Ryan Reynolds will be given his own spinoff and potential franchise-launcher as the Marvel Comics antihero Deadpool.

The 32-year-old Canadian actor, otherwise known as Mr. Scarlett Johansson, will again star as Wade Wilson, a wisecracking, cancer-stricken mercenary who's cured of the disease after undergoing the same Weapon X genetic alteration as Wolverine.

But along with superhuman powers, enhanced strength and self-regenerating healing powers, the slightly unhinged Deadpool can absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants.






All I can say it's about damn time. I wonder who gonna play Weasel?

I'm slightly concerned. Deadpool is a BAD guy. I don't know how you make a multi-million dollar movie about a scumbag bad guy into a PG-13 movie. Even if he is supposed to be a wise cracking, goofy, Bea Arthur loving bad guy.

Gonna be some watered down shit just so Burger King can sell fucking Deadpool drinking cups.

Dude, that would so suck. Most straight to dvds are cuz they realized it's gonna flop at the theaters and are trying to recoup some of the production costs in sales/cable.

Remember, Marvel is now firmly in the movie business and they want all their IP's to be X-Men like hits.

It would be about as interesting as a gambit spinoff movie and gambit sucked on so many levels in origins.For some reason marvel movies don't even compare to the dc stuff.

I respectfully disagree. Deadpool has a HUGE rabid like fan base. Gambit's fanbase...not so much. Deadpool does have an interesting backstory and he's such a goofy smart ass which is a perfect role for Reynolds.

I'm just worried about how the PG-13 ratings is going to neuter a Deadpool.

The Deadpool spinoff comic started out really well. I bought a couple copies of the SpiderMan golden age redo.

Not to ruin it but the comic book series really did a good job of playing the mercenary given a chance angle and that would easily translate to the movie screen even in a neutered PG13 format; although true fans would want the R.

2 years ago I would've said, "Keep Dreaming!" But, now? Marvel is in the movie making business now and I would say that if it stands a chance to make serious bank, it's VERY possible.

The only possible issues to resolve is FOX and Sony still clinging like a dingleberry to the FF and Spidey franchises.

In the comics Deadpool is friggen awesome. He's had some really good writers that get his brand of humor. His fanbase is huge and we want a DP movie for certain.

This is what I'm talking about. At the box office, DOOM was a huge turd and MK was just silly, forgettable rubbish. Violence and bloodshed is the hallmark of these franchises and to remove them doesn't leave anything left that's interesting.

1) Deadpool's a bad guy, yes...but he's a killer and mercernary...you just have him go after bigger scum...like politicians and bankers.

2) The "dead mutant" powers is in the movie...though the movie also gives an excuse to get rid of them ("the bonding process isn't complete!").

3) Deadpool is basically Bugs Bunny with lots of guns. You just do 90 minutes of the scene with him in the office with the swords, and you got your movie. Ryan Reynolds is perfect for the part.

4) Development on the movie has just been green lighted....personaly, I'm gonna let them at least write a script before I bash them.

That was Christopher Priest's revelation when he was writing the book. He'd been having trouble, cuz with traditional heroes, they can't look like fools. Once he realized that Deadpool that he was Bugs, and thus could look as foolish as possible as long it served being funny and winning in the end.

I'm withholding final judgement until I actually go see it, but from the surface it rather simply seems lazy, especially with other erstwhile mutants in the Mighty Marvel catalogue in possession of the same power. Amalgamation of characters for the purpose of expediency is hell of weak (reference this with the movie version of From Hell's manipulation of Johnny Depp's character).

I doubt they would do a live action Marvel Zombies, However an animated ( in the style of say Heavy Metal ) DVD feature would be a more likely option. Also has anyone else heard the rumor that BSG's Katee Sackhoff will play Typhoid Mary? The bigger question is will she be in the confirmed Deadpool movie ... or the rumored reboot of Daredevil? This time DD is getting the " Batman Begins" treatment he deserves. It will supposedly be produced under the Marvel Knights banner like Punisher Warzone. :)

im so disappointed in the marvel movies

They always change the stupidest things and leave the fans feeling like they could have done so much more. They totally screwed up the x-men movies and now they're moving on to this deadpool spinoff, i mean come on! With all the material and characters they have to work with, they could have easily went in so many different directions. IDK about anyone else, but im still waiting for a x-men movie that leaves me feeling satisfied! They were all disappointments.

X-men Origins... 3 movies. Wolverine, deadpool and magneto. Deadpool was no where near associated with X-men! And they already screwed up his whole stor adding all these ridiculous extra powers.

They could have done a movie with Sauron, Polaris and Havoc Jean and Cyclops in the savageland! They could have Shown the history between Lilandra and Prof X, and cyclops father and the starjammers. They could have done a movie with apocalypse, or mr sinister or any number of other people. They could have introduced X-Force, X-factor, eXcalibur, so many were once members of x-men or somehow associated with them! Cable beeing Cyclops future son and phoenix being jean grey's daughter... U have longshot, dazzler, psylocke, jubuilee soooo many people i wanted to see in these movies. Im sorry deadpool is not getting my money!

Well, here's the difficult thing about that (and I do think you've made some good points here, as I've been a Marvel fan my whole life): Marvel has to make films based on their franchises which are mass-marketable and appealing to the general public. The general public, unfortunately, does not know the complex history of the X-Men titles, for example, nor would they emotionally invest in that history with nothing but a compulsory recap to explain it all. Not only that, but the farther you get away from the core of the narrative (as with the Starjammers or the Mojoverse or the Days of Future Past storylines), the more difficult it is for the average movie-goer to follow.

Given these considerations, they absolutely have done the right thing with their franchises in a general way; you could argue for more depth behind the characters and their motivations, but that's something that tends to be script-specific, not necessarily on the production level. The best thing you can honestly hope for is that the film adaptations carry the basic "tone" of the source material, which has, in the spectrum of X-Men titles, been established over multiple decades. It's unrealistic to hope for an one-to-one version of the movie; comicbooks can't be recreated that perfectly in any other medium.

In a very simple sense, you can't make the billions of dollars that Marvel's movies have generated by appealing solely to the avid comicbook reader. It'd be like trying to explain an inside joke to everyone in the world: they may appreciate to a shallow extent, but ultimately they just won't get it. I agree that no matter what context you put it in, changing Deadpool's powers for the sake of the plot (and admittedly I still haven't seen the movie) is flimsy at best, but insofar as introducing him as a relevant character to the Weapon X project, you kind of have to X-pect that sort of thing.

And remember, the more these specific stories from the films are introduced, the more we as fans of the original stuff get to pick out the little "easter egg" moments that connect the films to the greater X-Men universe.

Ryan Reynolds Talks "Deadpool" Villains
Jun 03rd, 2009 (2:00pm)
A "Deadpool" spin-off is currently in fast-track development with Ryan Reynolds and the writers currently trying to figure out which enemies to include in the film.

"I'm hoping Cable will be in it," he told MTV News. "Look, I've made no secret that I love that character. I also love some of the more preliminary characters at the beginning of the series. I like Ajax — that's an easier character to put in. And Black Tom."

He added: "I think there’s a lot of different villains [we're considering]; you could do a whole bunch of villains in [the first film], or you could just have Deadpool going up against one guy. We'll see."

true, we sure do love to complain about the screw-ups. I can totally understand the issue with the complexity of the storylines, i mean with people coming from the future or past, space, different dimensions, astral planes not to mention the family ties between so many characters, i mean even jean grey alone has such an intricate storyline between the original marvel girl, to jean grey, phoenix, goblyn queen, madelyn pryor... it really makes u appreciate the time and amazing detail that went into developing each and every character, relationships, and origins when u see a movie like the ones they have produced. I still can't help but feel disappointed. Maybe if they at least created a decent cartoon series involving all memebers of the marvel universe, that would be HOTT. Or a tv series like smallville, based on the x-men, but featuring lots of the other important characters

-Rogue was a badass in the comics and she became forgettable in the movies
-Storm was also a forgettable in the movie
-Gambit origin had nothing to do with Wolverine. He started off with Storm and worked with Sabertooh.

Is Deadpool really a better character than Gambit to start another movie with?

Yeah the animated series was pretty good, i have every episode! But even they misssed out on some gr8 storylines, but so far, the best x-men production ive seen.

Casting for Gambit was awful! im sorry, but gambit is supposed to be a hot and sexy french ladies man. This actor didn't capture his essence at all. And i agree about storm and rogue. While both their personalities were really domminant in the comics, they easily faded to the background in the movies. Iceman was so sweet he gave me a toothache, while in the comics he was a total prankster. there are hundreds of little inconistancies i could point out, which is what really bothers me, how they completely changed the characters and personalities, its like an injustice to the fans

The only people they were on point with were wolverine, mystique, cyclops and professor X

lady deathstrike is yuriko right? i remember a comic where yuriko before her transition was tied very closely to storm when her powers were running amok and she basically went through her own dark phoenix stage. Yuriko taught her to let loose. Thats when she chopped her hair into a mowhawk and started with her bad girl phase. That was wayy bak in the day, when kitty ws crushing on colossus and just learning to phase other people with her

Blame Marvel for allowing him to do that. Like to me it really doesn't seem like they really give a damn they jsut wanna make a ton of money w/o regards to accuracy.

Constantine was based on thd Hellblazer comics, i think they changed the name so as not to be confused w/ the Hellboy movie. And rumor is Angelina Jolie wants to be Catwoman in the next Batman film.... and so does Cher... yes Cher. :)

They should do a typhoid mary movie with angelina jolie!!!!!Sorry but Katee Sackhoff ( Starbuck ) has apparently got that role.

The movie critics shitted all on this one and while it was far from perfect it is still better than the crap we have now!

This scene traumatized a whole generation of kids!

Yeah it also forced them to change the ending of the Gi-Joe animated movie. Duke died in the original ending, but the angry letters they got about Optimus Primes death from parents saying their kids were crying about it forced them to alter the story.

Within the next few years, Marvel will own the theater. Iron man 2, Captain America, Thor, the Avengers, Deadpool, I heard sub mariner will be made and also black panther. I love marvel and will be spending quite a few dollars at the boxoffice in the next few years.


have a great day all

Yeah as a kid I always wondered how could Duke survive a poison snake to the heart yet Prime died lol. It made know sense whatsoever back then.
