Ryan Reynolds "actively" working on Deadpool spinoff

[cerealkiller182]

If it was truly subtle they wouldnt even mention it. But Deadpool really doesnt need to turn to the screen and address the audience which is what everyone expects I think. Deadpool was always better when he says "I can talk with those little yellow boxes again" rather than saying "What's up True Believer"

 

[Minus Shock]

Hehe "I can talk with those little yellow boxes again" was great. I do get what you mean though. The looking at the camera is just really great for comedic effect, but it could distract from the main point of the movie, which would not be good.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Looking at the camera has worked once IMO and that was Jay and Silent Bob. Frankly the only way it would work in Deadpool is if DP turned to the camera at the very end and gave a knowing glance (like "Is that all you got" kinda look) and than fade to black.

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

Spider-Man would be a better example.

The Batman costume hasn't been in any of the Batman films so far. (Not counting the cheesy 60s movie)

Reynolds lands Green Lantern... So I guess this film won't come out till 2012 earliest... if at all. Unless is a really small/short production which is possible assuming it even happens at this point.

 

[Chewy]

Yeah, I don't think this is going to happen with Reynolds landing Hal Jordan

 

[Spider-Vader]

He better not. I want Deadpool, plus I don't think he fits Hal Jordan that well. He'd make a pretty good Flash though.... IF HE WASN'T ALREADY DEADPOOL!

There's no way he can be two major characters at the same time, especially when the studios are rivals.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Double, sorry.

 

[Octoberist]

it's okay Spider-Vader. Who knows what will happen with Deadpool now..a delay perhaps.

 

[Chewy]

He is playing Hal Jordan. The trades reported it tonight.

 

[TheVileOne]

Reynolds as Deadpool I think we can all say is pretty much done.

Think about it. Did Singer ever come back to X-men after Superman Returns? Its not gonna happen guys. Fox is that petty.

Also, Reynolds was barely even in the movie. So big deal. He was in it for like 30 seconds as Wade Wilson and didn't even really do anything.

 

[E-Man]

Reynolds as Hal is more of a wait and see thing, but he's not the end all be all for Deadpool. There are other people who could pull it off besides him. I agree that the GL casting hurts the Deadpool movie's progress, but it's not necessarily the death blow.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Just becuase Reynolds is Hal doesnt mean it hurts Deadpool's progress, especially since it barely has any process. If push came to shove and it was between Deadpool and GL Im sure Reynolds would say Deadpool, but I see no reason why both cant happen except that fanboys swear by one comic movie an actor.

Exactly. If he's the best for the role, then he should play it if available.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Not only is he the best, but he is a fan and a driving force behind current production (if thats what you can call it). Ryan said recently he had 4 projects in the pipeline. One was Buried and he couldnt say on the other 3, apparently one being Green Lantern. He said not to expect Deadpool until at least after the 4 of them.

 

[E-Man]

If he's as hardcore about Deadpool as he says he is, then the movie should eventually get made. I don't think someone who is a fan of a property would abandon it so easily like some think.

 

[Jick]

I'm really undecided how I feel about this. I hope Deadpool is still priority for him and isn't on second plan, now.
Really unexpected news, though.

 

[TheVileOne]

Once again, Fox is not going to let him play both. Has everyone already forgotten what happened before?

What Reynolds wants doesn't matter. He picked Green Lantern apparently. Deadpool is not going to give him the money like Green Lantern will.

 

[Spider-Vader]

The only good thing about this is that Timberlake isn't Lantern & Reynolds is a good actor.

 

[Minus Shock]

This makes sense to me actually. Reynolds stressing that he will be scarred up and in the mask. Think about it if he is the face behind Green Latern, he can easily be the face behind prosthetics and a mask of Deadpool. I think some time needs to pass between Wolverine and Deadpool anyway. Let people forget about Wolverine so when he returns as the real deal Deadpool it will ****in rock the house.

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

Although it kind of sucks that we won't see him as Deadpool now for a long, long time you can't blame him for taking up GL even if he is the Deadpool fanatic that he claims to be.
He knows as we all do that it was always going to be an uphill struggle against fox to get the DP movie made and an even bigger struggle to get it made faithfully.

 

[GlasgowBat]

nevermind, not worth it

You werent going to see Deadpool for a long long time anyway. Ryan said he had 4 possible projects he had to get through first before doing anything for Deadpool.

I'm sure the first question Ryan gets will be about Deadpool. Because while I dont think the studio will give up on Ryan because he continued acting, Ryan could have given up on the project because Fox's interference.

If Reynolds truly cared that much he would not have done the fairly useless cameo in X-men Origins.

Reynolds as Deadpool is over.

Yeah but he said himself that he did as much as he could to bring Wade from the Comics to screen. He also said that if the opportunity to do a Deadpool movie never happened, he wanted to at least rest knowing he got to play Wade Wilson in some way. I understand that. He couldn't have known that a week after Wolverine he would be controlling the fate of the Deadpool Solo movie.
