Ryan Reynolds "actively" working on Deadpool spinoff

[GeoffTheArtist]

Why is that a pipe dream? Reynolds has said that the studio and him want to make it accurate to the comics.

Sure it won't be 100% accurate most probably. But you take away the cancer aspect, the satire and the bad ass action, and you have a cliche action film, who is gonna want to see that?

I think, going from what Reynolds says anyway, that they all know THE selling point of Deadpool is his uniqueness. You take away the unique things about the character (satire, cancer, humour) what is left? A cliche loud mouth action star that isn't going to appeal to a lot of people considering it has been done to death a million times already.

I only say that because I don't want to get my hopes up. As long as Reynolds is involved, I'm in.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well yea, I don't wanna get my hopes up too much. But from this most recent interview, there is only positive things to come out from it.

Hhhmmmm......one of the things I worry about is the way Deadpool would be presented by Fox. He must have his damn costume! I dont know why they want to make superhero movies and the characters never wear their costume. Wolverine is a good example. The movie was decent...but where was his costume? Imagine if they'd done the same thing with The Dark Knight...it would have been so less cool. Fox has to embrace Deadpool, warts and all and also embrace his unique story and world. What are they chances they'll do that without cheesing it out? slim to mid

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Wolverine can still be Wolverine without his costume. Deadpool can't. There is the difference. He'll have the costume and mask, guaranteed.

And to be honest, I think there is MORE chance of them doing it more accurate to the source material. I mean, THE only reason Deadpool could make them money is because he is a unique character. They get rid of his uniqueness, water him down, and you are left with a generic loud mouth action hero. That isn't gonna impress people, we've seen it about a million times before.

I just blew a load

this movie has me officially stoked

 

[Donnie Darko]

I just really wonder how they will explain away the eye beams (my least favorite part of Wolverine... they showed Cyclops' power as basically being heat vision or lasers that cut/burn through things, not concussive blasts. Being hit by his beams shouldn't be like getting burned, it should be like getting hit by a truck driving at 80 mph) and the arm-swords.

Do they need to? Theres a interview somewhere where Reynolds said "I doubt they'll be a connection to Wolverine" (paraphrasing). I cant find it though. It was much more adament than the other one thats people have been showing, Ryan also mentioned something about "screwing a cow for a chance to do DP right"

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea it seems they might not even be linking it to Wolverine.

But if they do, the eye beams and katana hands won't be a problem I don't think. In that secret scene his eyes look all burnt out or something. Maybe they could say the optic blasts went into overload as his head was falling and it fried all the circuitry or something? Then I think it would make for a darkly comedic scene to show DP ripping the blades out of his arms himself.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Another interview. Talks about Cable and some villains that they are thinking of using.

[tekken]

cable already? i feel like cable's too big of a role to put him in a deadpool movie. unless they wanna just go ahead and call it "cable and deadpool;" it's kinda like making a batman movie, and starring superman in it. ya know? but whatever, i love cable; he's awesome.

who would play cable though?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea I wouldn't have Cable in the first. If they make DP into a franchise they could have ol Nate in the second and third. I'd love a Cable and Deadpool movie. Maybe set in some post apocalyptic future sorta like a satire of Mad Max, but with katana swords and plasma rifles

As for who would play Cable? The living legend that is Michael Biehn. No doubt.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I think he's great for it. My choice for a long time was Adam Baldwin, but I'm really feeling Michael Biehn.

 

[Karelia]

I can't help it, all this news/interviews with Ryan Reynolds is giving me nerdgasms.

I wouldn't mind Cable appearing, but I don't want him to take up half the movie. It might be better to wait and see how the Deadpool movie does, then him appear in the sequel if it gets one, which I hope it does.

Can't wait until we get a release date for this!

 

[Ziggyman]

Wooohoo...I must be honest though...I've never read a Deadpool comic...But I've done some research and he sems really cool...

Just too bad that by signing on to play Wade in Wolverine...He ruined that film!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Adam Baldwin is a good shout too.

But I dunno, Biehn is just bad ass. And seeing as Deadpool is sorta satirical, it would be a nice spin to see Biehn as the cyborg from the future this time!

Wooohoo...I must be honest though...I've never read a Deadpool comic...But I've done some research and he sems really cool...

Well you can't really blame him for that. He only signed on because he is a fan boy like us and it gave him the opportunity to finally get the Deadpool solo flick off the ground.

Just whipped this up.

Michael Biehn for Cable!!!!!

Nice manip.

 

[drmick]

Well, he's actually implying that Cable may be out of bounds. And Black Tom Cassidy as a villian? Get Coiln Farrell back!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Collin Farrel is Bullseye. I like the Deadpool vs Bullseye rivalry in the books, and yea Farrel is a bit of a nob, but I thought his Bullseye was great.

 

[Spider-Vader]

His Bullseye was good. It would of been better if he wore the comic costume. The comic costume isn't unbelievable. It's a grey jump suit with a bulls eye on his head, which he had anyway.

****ing awesome!!! Nice find Pro'

Reynolds has complete control over the character! This is a great moment for all comic book movies.

I get to be the authentication police, in a weird way. To their credit — the studio’s credit — they want to make an authentic ‘Deadpool’ movie; they want to make it as close to the source material as possible.

He’s going to be the Merc with the Mouth, [we’re going to give] all those answers that everyone wants,” Reynolds explained. “He’s going to have the scarred-up face, he’s going to be in the suit — and, it’s going to be incredible

Sound like he might be getting a Producer role for this film.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well Jackman did as well, look what happened there!

But I believe in Reynolds more than Jackman. He goes into more depth about the character and what he wants, and it is no where near filming yet. Plus Jackman only started saying he loved Wolverine AFTER he got cast, Reynolds has been banging on about Deadpool for 6 or 7 years. And I think with his passion, he will be less flexible than Jackman. I got the feeling Jackman was a bit of a puppet.

 

[drmick]

He's been banging on about the Flash too. He really wants a cheeky chappy comic book character.

He should have been Spider-man:
