Deadpool 2 Deadpool 2 News and Discussion

[def28]

Pierce Brosnan would make a great Black Tom Cassidy.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

I hope Wade makes a lot of "Cable Guy" jokes at Cable's expense.

Lol I would love that.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Pierce Brosnan? Calling it now. The villains are Black Tom and Juggernaut.

Not sure who Black Tom, but I would LOVE to see Juggernaut, and a better version than the X3 one at that.

We could finally get a proper Colossus vs Juggernaut fight also.

 

[Rowsdower!]

If Brosnan is in Deadpool 2, we need to start an internet campaign to get Deadpool to reference this classic scene in the movie:

Wouldn't be nice if Pierce plays Cable, then meets Famke/Halle in future X-Men films.

 

[Superhero 101]

lol

 

[JP]

Damn, I really want Brosnan as any villain.

 

[Smilodon]

He looks a lot like Black Tom and would be a great way to reintroduce Juggy and Siryn into the post-DOFP universe. But they seem to have just been together for some watch promo thing I believe.

 

[NotNickFury]

Not really news, but finally sat down and watched John Wick. And wow, I'm now more looking forward to Leitch's take on Deadpool 2, more so with the gun play and hand-to-hand combat.

Don't get me wrong- I think Deadpool had great fight scenes as is, but I'm curious to see what Leitch- or any crew he brings with him- brings to the sequel, if John Wick is any indication.

 

[Smilodon]

Leitch is going to just give Dom absolutely baller gun play scenes. More so than Deadpool's combat scenes, I'm way excited to see what he does with Dom.

I thought you were talking about Dominic Toretto for a second there.

Yeah, I'm curious to see how Leitch will handle the action sequences in the film. Love John Wick!!!

 

[Rowsdower!]

Man, now I want a Deadpool/John Wick crossover movie.

 

[NotNickFury]

Man, now I want a Deadpool/John Wick crossover movie.

Keanu Reeves for Cable?

 

[-JKR-]

That could really work, I like the idea. It's also pretty much in line with my personal vision of who could work, considering that I've thought about actors such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Timothy Olyphant for the Cable role.

 

[Pennywise]

Man, now I want a Deadpool/John Wick crossover movie.

That would be super awesome!

Nice little interview with Reese/Wernick regarding how they want to shape the tone of their future films in the X-verse.

One of the best jokes in Deadpool addresses how confusing the X-Men movie timeline is. In Deadpool 2, will you continue to be able to ignore that timeline?


Paul Wernick: What's nice is Deadpool exists in his own universe. He's part of the larger X-Men universe, but in a way he isn't. He interacts with that world but he is in the present. We don't deal with the '60s or the '70s or the future. It's here and now. More than anything, I think he's going to have his fun with what they do in the other franchise. But fortunately, we don't have to play by those same rules. Deadpool is a movie that did break all the rules. And I think we're going to continue to break those rules. That involves knowing that he's in a movie, talking to the audience, breaking that fourth wall, a characteristic that they established so brilliantly in the comics way back when. So yeah, I do think that timelines are something that we can make fun of and don't have to be slave to.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is beloved and has had great success by heavily connecting its plot. But Deadpool and Logan, which looks poised to be a success as well, go back to a more standalone model. Do you see a trend of audiences wanting standalone movies rather than shared universe films?

Rhett Reese: I think sometimes the movies get a little overstuffed trying to set up future movies and it almost feels burdensome or obligatory, where you are weaving in four or five different plots that really aren't in service of the current movie, but are to set up audience anticipation or logic for what's coming. We really are trying our best to avoid that. There is something to the movie that is just worried about itself for the moment.

The different universes tend to have different tones, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has a very specific, genius tone that was set in Iron Man and has lived well beyond that into the other movies. DC tends to have its own tone, which is this dark, gritty tone. The X-Men have their own tone, which is kind of somewhere in between. Not too funny, not too light. But not quite as dark as the DC stuff. And I think what we stumbled into was a new tone, and I haven't seen Logan, so it's tough to say if they have it, but I think we hope to have our own universe that is defined less by characters and timelines and things like that and more by tone. The hope is Deadpool 2 and X-Force and future movies all be this new, consistent, sillier tone. More self-aware tone. And edgier and rated-R tone. We want to be establishing the universe but also focusing on each individual movie and not worrying too much about building a larger threat to the world or a larger plot machination.

For the full interview, where they just talk about Fox lets them run amuck:

[NotNickFury]

These two, if consistent, could be to the X-Men films what the Russos have proven to be for the MCU. They get what they're working with and have a good idea of tone, which is very critical, especially with Deadpool in mind.

 

[marvelrobbins]

this above pretty much says X-force will be expansion of deadpool just as MCU is expansion of Iron Man.

The MCU is not an expansion of Iron Man nor did they say that X-Force is going to be some expansion of Deadpool. I don't know how you got that from the interview - they're saying that Iron Man set the right tone for future MCU movies. The writers of Deadpool are hoping to set the tone for future X-Men films, just like X1 set the tone for the OT, and FC set the tone for the FC trilogy.

Iron man did set tone for rest of MCU.Just like they seem to be saying when X-force is made it will follow lead of the deadpool films.

This isn't first time they said deadpool is in it's own universe or it's seperate franchise from X-men.

You might be overthinking the, "He's part of the larger X-Men universe, but in a way he isn't".

Deadpool builds up its corner of the X-Men universe.
X-Force and any other related X-movies (the edgier, R-rated variety) they hope will follow suit.

 

[The Guard]

I've decided that any plot but Deadpool and Cable trying to fix the FOX X-Men continuity (At least this is what Deadpool would be trying to do) will be a disappointment.

Our first interview from David Leitch regarding Deadpool 2! Too bad there isn't anything about the start date.

Leitch on working with the creative team behind DEADPOOL:

"I think it’s going to be fun. I mean, I’ve always wanted to do comedy. And working with that creative team with Simon and Ryan and Rhett and Paul, they have it all on lockdown and they are great. They are amazing. It’s a big studio, juggernaut of a movie, and it’s a big franchise and they are huge shoes to fill but we are already down the road making some really cool choices and it’s going to be a blast. Working with those guys… we’ll hit it out of the park."

Leitch on how they'll retain the comedic, self-referential nature of DEADPOOL:

"Yeah, there is this fun irreverent nature to Deadpool which is why I fell in love with it. Which is why I’m honored to be a part of the franchise. I think you want to keep the DNA of that. It’s going to be fun to spin out the world a little bit and expand it. You just have to on a sequel. And you’ll see that obviously in JOHN WICK CHAPTER TWO. But we want to stay true to that, the little superhero movie that could. It is the fun irreverent movie."

Leitch on if they're going to go crazy with the stunts:

"Yeah, I think I can’t not. I mean, it’s in our DNA to take the stunts in an organic way as well and take it more in a practical way. Maybe go bigger. But it’s not about bigger, Deadpool is always about playing against the expectations of superhero movies and I think that is why it was so successful. Or one of the reasons it was so successful because it plays against those expectations. And we need to make sure that the action is really furthering the characters and moving the story along. And we are having fun with the action. It’s not action for spectacle, it’s action for Deadpool’s character. And giving him a platform for another physical device for comedy and character as well."

Leitch on working with Ryan Reynolds:

"Well it’s great because he knows the character inside and out and I think as a director, I’m a collaborator. I always have been. On THE COLDEST CITY, I just got finished collaborating with Charlize, and I think she’d tell you the same thing. You have to leave a lot of up to the actor to really come to you with like what is this character about and who are they going to be. Then you share that and you move it forward. He understands Deadpool inside and out. I mean, he is Deadpool. You have to embrace it and go with it and give him some guidance on the macro, but in terms of the character, it’s amazing how locked in he is.

I’m excited to play. Like I said, I’m interested in doing sort of the irreverent comedy that DEADPOOL offers, and maybe have a few more resources. But it’s the most fun sandbox in the world. The DEADPOOL universe is amazing."

[NotNickFury]

Sounds promising. Ordinarily, I don't know what I'd expect from a studio jumping into a sequel so soon after it made a surprising amount of cash because that could spell disaster or quick cash grab. But Wernick and Reese have proven competent writers who understand the source material and Leitch sounds enthusiastic for the project, so hopefully this bodes well for Deadpool 2.
