And yet why has Reynolds not signed a deal to play Deadpool yet? Why is there no release date?

And yet why has Reynolds not signed a deal to play Deadpool yet? Why is there no release date?

Deadpool comes out February 16th 2016.

 

[TheVileOne]

Ok so there is a release date at least. But Reynolds is not signed?

 

[The Infernal]

I dunno. We can only hope they're trying to make the deal with Reynolds as we speak.

Does this even still have the same director that was attached when it was still in development hell?

Was their any doubt that he'd come back if asked? I mean he loves the character and this movie has been his baby pretty much from the very beginning. Plus it's not like his career is at it's peak at the moment. A film like this might be just we needs to give it a boost.

Would anyone be against Sabretooth returning?

 

[The Infernal]

Good news about Reynolds. Hopefully we'll start hearing about who else may join the movie soon.

Would anyone be against Sabretooth returning?

I would love to see Liev return as Sabretooth, but in a main X-men film. Don't see much of a place for him in a Deadpool movie.

 

[Sithborg]

Yay, confirmation on Reynolds returning. Or, at least confirmation that he is close to returning. I'm glad.

That is all I needed to hear. Exactly how it should be done.

Now just don't **** this up.

 

[Loki882]

So you mean that this movie WON'T sew the "merc with the mouth's" mouth shut, or turn him into a Mortal Combat ripoff? Fancy that, it's almost like they should have done this from the beginning.

 

[Dasher10]

Low budget? The X-Men rights must revert now.

/sarcasm

I'm happy it's getting made. Deadpool doesn't need a massive budget since it's comedy first and action second.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

So is T.J Miller confirmed to be casted?

If so I reckon he'll be playing Weasel

Regarding Deadpool being rated R vs. PG-13:

What a lot of people should consider is film and comics are two different mediums. Sure, comics are far more cinematic than books, but they offer a leniency towards cheesiness, which can be far more cringe-worthy on film than in those funny pages. Another factor is you're interpreting the inflections in dialogue, and how characters speak. On the screen it just may flow better with a dirty word tossed in. In the comics, references have been made toward Deadpool's knack for filthy jokes, so he could finally throw a few of those out on screen.

Deadpool's power is the ability to regenerate from gruesome injuries. He gets explicitly impaled all the time on page, but since it's drawn and not photo-realistic, it passes for PG-13. Best way to display this would most definitely be in an R-rated setting.

And for Reynold's sake this should be R to get the most out of the guy. He's great at improvising, he improvised all of Wade Wilson's dialogue in Wolverine and has expressed feeling restrained when making PG-13 films due to language caps. Though he does his best anyway.

And lastly, this would be the perfect character to experiment with as far as superhero films are concerned. Break the cliches and the fourth wall. Give us something we've never seen, and I want them to have the ability to give it all they got. No hindrances. I know some people think it'd be a good idea if a PG-13 Wade got bleeped and alluded the rating, and I believe he should break the fourth wall a few times in the film, it should only be in moderation. The comics don't depend on the fourth-wall demolition and neither should the film, unless it wants to risk tiring the audience.

But this movie's getting made, and I am thankful for that. If it's PG-13, I'll be a bit disappointed, but at least it'll exist.

 

[def28]

If they are willing to make Kingsmen R I don't see why not Deadpool. Similar vibe in tone there imo. With the budget being low I don't think it's that much of a risk on the rating... but Deadpool does have a very big fan base under the age of 17 that will want to see this.

This is gonna definitely appeal heavily to teens. So I guess I can understand that reason. Prefer the R, but pg-13 is fine if it keeps the attitude of the test footage. It allegedly was going for PG-13.

 

[Levsky]

If Marvel obtained the rights to mutants, I would love to see a rom-com about Deadpool competing with Thanos for Death's love.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I am glad the budget for this is on the lower end of the blockbuster scale, you don't need a huge budget for this and it gives them more freedom.

 

[Levsky]

Yep, I hope it gets R-kind treatment.
