Ryan Reynolds "actively" working on Deadpool spinoff

[TheVileOne]

Yeah but he said himself that he did as much as he could to bring Wade from the Comics to screen.

Wow. Should he get a medal for his excellent 30 seconds of screentime he had?

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.

Whatever. You guys make it sound like Wade Wilson was actually an important character in the Wolverine movie or that Ryan Reynolds actually had something to do in it.

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.

Exactly. I can't believe you guys think he still has a chance. That isn't how Fox works when it comes to their superhero projects. Superhero movies tend to bring in big bucks and a DP movie with the right director and actor could join the $100M club. But once RR signed on to play GL, he basically said to Fox screw you in their eyes. I'm surpised he got the part though. This came out of the blue it seems.

 

[Boom]

Do you guys thinks Rothman looks at the critic reviews and box office receipts of all the films made by Fox in a year and says to himself, "Wow, we really do make God awful ****** films."

Seriously. The ignorance and obliviousness of that studio is astounding.

I wasn't trying to say that at all actually. My point was that Ryan isn't stabbing Fox in the back BECAUSE Wade was wasted in Wolverine and he did the best he could. That was my point.

I completely agree. Fox are a bunch of idiots. Fox should have waited a year to do X-men 3 with Singer, but they had to compete with Superman.

I am optimistic that Ryan's Deadpool will still happen just because I want to see it. Deadpool was never given a date, we heard things from Reynolds. Assuming that this was one of the projects that Reynolds said had to happen before Deadpool, what has changed exactly? You think he didn't tell Fox "yeah I'm up for Green Lantern"?

Well.................the reason Singer didn't do Xmen 3 was becuase he chose another superhero movie. Same thing. Rothman is a diva that should have been fired years ago.

Singer chose to do Superman Returns as X-Men 3 was going into pre-production. Deadpool has only been greenlit and is still a ways away even if he didnt do Green lantern

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I wouldn't be surprised if we heard from ryan in the next week or so.
I honestly don't see why he can't work on both movies.

 

[TheVileOne]

Because Fox is Fox.

And he's Green Lantern now. Not Deadpool.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Fox let Halle Berry be Storm after Catwoman

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

Fox probably had a idea that movie was gonna bomb anyway that's why they let her do that movie.

 

[cerealkiller182]

So Fox purposely lost money?

 

[Hypestyle]

so, with the green lantern news, does this mean Deadpool is dead in the water? were contracts signed or not?

 

[Minus Shock]

I dont know why it would be dead. I think Reynolds can maintain in both movies. Again he said he had projects he had to finish before he could start Deadpool, nothing has changed. Just people assume you can't do more than one comic movie. I do think that is true when we speak within a comic company, but even in this case it's not like Deadpool will look like anyone else ya know?

General Audiences likely wont even connect that he is reprising a character from the Wolverine train-wreck, unless they market that way. According to Reynolds he would be scarred and wearing a mask. Essentially he is a voice actor if you think about it, cause that's the only thing that is recognizable.

I think that helps him. He wasn't in Wolverine that long, so people probably won't get that he was in the Origins movie. If people do remember him, it's probably as the cool guy who split the bullet in half with his sword.

Ryan Reynolds Does Not Rule Out Deadpool

When Ryan Reynolds accepted the proposal from Warner Bros. and chose to take their ring, many -- if not most people -- assumed the fact that playing Green Lantern would mean the end of Reynolds' involvement in a Deadpool movie.

Now, Deadpool received some pretty lousy treatment in "X-men Origins: Wolverine," but fans of the character were confident (or at least hopeful) that Reynolds, himself a Deadpool fan, could make things right.
However, the left field plucking of Reynolds to play a character in the DC Universe (Green Lantern) left many wondering what that meant for his character in the Marvel Universe (Deadpool).

Apparently, Reynolds is not ruling out a return to Deadpool, telling Entertainment Weekly: "There's no rule that you can't play two different characters in two different comic book universes."

In fact, he added that he might not be done, saying, "There are so many interesting comic book characters out there. I would love to do others."

Personally, I would be shocked to see Reynolds play Deadpool in a solo movie for a vast number of reasons, but at least Deadpool fans still have some hope.

^What a ****e. Can't wait to see him as the entire JLA and Avengers.

 

[WeaponXProject]

Even with this recent news of him saying he could play both characters...I'm routing for him to be Deadpool but it doesn't seem optimistic now, well atleast to me. If he has to start working on both movies then I don't think he'll have the time.

In my opinion the Deadpool movie is most likely put back on the shelf unless someone else can come along and play him. And who should that be? Does he have to be funny? Or can they just make the character have funny lines?

Anyways I'm starting a thread about who should play Deadpool if RR leaves. If the mods want to merge the conversation into here that is fine as well.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Deadpool would be no where near production time even if Reynolds wasnt cast as Green Lantern. If Deadpool doesnt happen it wont be because Reynolds did Green Lantern

I thought that Green Lantern is still some time away. And Reynolds has a few projects rumored so I was just entertaining the fact that he might leave. Who knows? I hope it still happens...with RR.

GL has a release date of 2011, Deadpool has no release date at all. I remember RR saying, but I cant find now, that he has a number of projects in the pipeline before Deadpool was greenlit and they had to be done before he could get going on Deadpool, and it was greenlit with the understanding that he would play Deadpool (without Ryan I doubt it would have happened), so Im pretty sure Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool is definitely still happening at this point, but like any project could fold. But I am confident that if it folds, its not because Reynolds played Green Lantern.

 

[WeaponXProject]

I want RR to stay with Deadpool, too. It's in my Sig.

 

[E-Man]

Ace should be posting in this thread any minute now...

 

[FaT_tONle]

The longer Fox sits... the less likely the chances. Earliest I see is 2013. If GL gets a sequel forget about it.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I've been thinking about this, and personally, I don't think anything has changed.

I never thought Deadpool would be out anytime before 2012, this seems to confirm that.

Ryan Reynolds has been banging on about Deadpool since 2002. Even throwing words like "destiny" around. So what? He patiently waits 7 years, Deadpool FINALLY get's green lit, THEN he is like "You know what, I've waited all this time but **** it" No chance.

Reynolds has done what actors in his position should be doing. Taking on high profile roles. Did people not expect him to get any roles like this? That Deadpool was gonna be IT? C'mon guys.

GL is gonna be a mid summer big budget blockbuster. Reynolds is doing it for the $$$. Whereas I always thought Deadpool would more likely be a Blade type movie. Modest budget, released in winter or spring (not mid summer) and Reynolds would want to do it simply because he loves Deadpool and wants to play him.

So what I'm saying is, Reynolds hasn't abandoned his dream role IMO. He's just taken a job, you know, what actors should be doing.

And as for GL sequels? Who says they will feature Hal? Who says they won't have a different Lantern in each movie?
