Deadpool 2 Deadpool 2 News and Discussion

[marvelrobbins]

could be they are looking for smaller gap between deadpool 2 and deadpool:X-force.

 

[-JKR-]

This seems all a bit premature. They should focus on getting Deadpool 2 right.

Miller, Reese and Wernick have mentioned in the past that Iron Man-IM2-Avengers was their template for DP so it makes sense that XF would follow DP2 in that regard. Not particularly groundbreaking info there, but hopefully they get Leitch signed so production isn't delayed too much.

When did they mention Iron Man 2?

Correction, not their template, but they mentioned it as an example of how things could work out in terms of the path to X-Force.

RYAN REYONOLDS TALKS DEADPOOL'S FIRST APPEARANCE IN 'X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE':

"It was during a writers’ strike, so all my dialogue in X-Men Origins: Wolverine I wrote. I mean, in the stage directions it just said, “Deadpool shows up, talks really fast, and makes a lot of jokes.” At the beginning of that movie, that’s pretty close to Deadpool’s Wade Wilson—we’re in the ballpark with that guy. But it completely departed all canon and reason and he wound up being this abomination of Deadpool that was like Barakapool, with his mouth sewn shut and weird blades that came out of his hands and these strange tattoos and stuff like that. If you watch the movie, I’m actually playing only a small section, and another actor, this gifted stunt performer, is doing the lion’s share of that work. The conversation at the time was “If you want to play Deadpool, this is your chance to introduce him. And if you don’t want to introduce him in this fashion, we’ll have someone else play him.”

... THE REACTIONS TO BARAKAPOOL AND 'GREEN LANTERN':

"That movie leaked online a month and a half before it was supposed to be released, and all these people saw it and were so upset about Deadpool. I was in Mexico with some friends, and I was called by the chief of the studio, who said, 'You have to get on a plane right now. We need to re-shoot the very end of the movie.” I was such a *****e, because I was like, 'I told you so.' I still get angry, because I remember saying, 'You know, there are more Deadpool fans out there than you realize, and they’re not gonna be happy with this.' I was met with a plausible reason, which was: 'We don’t have enough time to develop a proper Deadpool suit and make him the fully realized version of the comic, so we’re going with this.' But I was like, 'Then don’t do it at all!'"


"I wrote a letter to my executive at Fox saying, 'I’m gonna take this movie Green Lantern if you guys aren’t gonna make Deadpool. I’m at the altar, about to say ‘I do’ to somebody else, but tell me you want to spend the rest of your life with me, because I want to spend the rest of my life with you.' And they said, 'Unfortunately, we can’t green-light that movie, and I don’t think it’s ever going to get green-lit.' So I was like, Okay, I’m gonna go move on with my life, then, I guess."

... SCRIPT DRAFTS:

"We did every iteration of that script we possibly could come up with to please them and allow them to make the movie that looked vaguely like the movie we wanted to make. And in the end, we got to make the exact movie we wanted to make all along. There were drafts of the script that were sort of masked versions where we thought, Okay, if they let us do this, we’ll actually shoot this, and hopefully they won’t notice. And once the test footage leaked on the Internet, that created kind of a groundswell of support, which was the most invaluable tool we had to get the movie made. And the studio responded to that groundswell by saying, 'Okay, here’s the absolute bare minimum amount of money that we will consider giving this character. Go make your movie, **** off, and let us know when it’s done.'"

... THE CHALLENGING PRODUCTION OF 'DEADPOOL':

"Making the movie was very, very difficult. It was the most passionate group of individuals I’ve ever worked with in my life. And for whatever reason, that mercurial crazy burgoo of people is what made this thing work so well, not just because I had this vision and I saw it this way and it had to be this way. It worked because we all had that feeling. But there were vaguely scary fights in the post-production process that escalated quickly. Luckily, everybody’s grown up and at the end of the day enjoys and loves each other."


"I know when I need to exert control, and I know when I need to let go of it. I’m not gonna go and sit with Tim Miller and say, “The visual effects of Deadpool need to be done this way.” The man is a visual-effects wizard. But there are character and tone things that I know really well. And I’ve also been with this thing the longest out of anybody, aside from the guys that wrote the comics. Eleven years I’ve been trying to get this Sisyphus rock up the hill, and it kept rolling back on top of me. So I’m gonna be all the **** over it from the moment it starts to the moment it finishes."

... THE STUDIO'S DOUBTS ABOUT THE MOVIE EVEN AFTER IT WAS DONE:

"It didn’t get any better as the movie was cut together and Fox was showing it. Some people at the studio were still scratching their heads like, What is this? Is this gonna go over like a lead zeppelin or is this gonna fly like the Goodyear blimp? But we had a great shepherd in Emma Watts, who actually went to the high school next to mine in Vancouver and is now one of the people running 20th Century Fox. She came in and saw Deadpool for what it was and what it could be, not just now but in the long term. She really helped us execute the version that we needed to put on the screen. Which is, you know, pretty filthy."

... TIM MILLER'S DEPARTURE FROM 'DEADPOOL 2'

“All I can really add is that I'm sad to see him off the film. Tim's brilliant and nobody worked harder on Deadpool than he did.”

Man, that Emma Watts lady is the complete opposite of Tom Rothman. Its a good thing she is one of the people running things now.

 

[Smilodon]

We'll have to see how she works with Stacey Snider though, there's been murmurs of how Snider doesn't fit with the rest of Fox and whatnot.

 

[-JKR-]

Yeah, Jim Gianopolous was a pretty important asset to the Fox family. Let's just hope she's smart enough and won't make any dumb decisions (in general, not just on the comic book movies, I've been enjoying most of the studio's output in recent years).

Welcome aboard, David Leitch.

 

[LoganGambit87]

 

[Smilodon]

I am salivating at the thought of 1/2 of the team that did John Wick handling a character like Domino.

 

[Sawyer]

*still hasn't seen John Wick*

[I SEE SPIDEY]

*still hasn't seen John Wick*

Get on that please.

I like the choice of director.

 

[Flint Marko]

Haven't seen John Wick yet either, but this bodes well for Deadpool 2.

 

[LoganGambit87]

deadpool and john wick have alot in common

both of them are:

simple yet effective revenge tales
rated r
great bloody action
lower budgets

 

[The Endless]

John Wick is probably the best grounded action thriller in the last 10 years. This is great news.

 

[psylockolussus]

I have no plans of watching John Wick, but I hope the replacement director will be better than Tim Miller.

A shame because the action in that film bodes very well for Deadpool 2. And X-Force if he is the one to handle it.

It's nice to see a guy like Leitch whose worked on a few X-Men films before move his way up and earn the director's chair now.

Tim Miller's a great director & you should definitely watch John Wick.

There's one thing I don't like about this, though. After the huge blow that losing Tim Miller was they've found the perfect guy to helm Deadpool 2, and they dont want to keep him aboard for the third one?

If that's true, I REALLY hope that they'll change their mind on this while working on the sequel.

 

[psylockolussus]

Tim Miller is great but Deadpool is good not great. I am not badmouthing Miller, I want him to direct Gambit & X-Men 5 but I think there's still a room of improvement for the Deadpool series especially story-wise. So I am hoping the new director would achieve that.

 

[-JKR-]

Opinions, dude.
Deadpool's great to me, not good. One of the best and most memorable comic book adaptations to date.
And even with the same director on board, the goal is (or should be) to top yourself with the sequel.

 

[psylockolussus]

I was speaking for myself dude. I was not disagreeing with your opinions dude.

 

[Sithborg]

This must be what Snyder fans feel like...

It is going to be interesting to see what Leitch does. About the only thing I am certain is that the stunts will be amazing.
