^ Lol at the movie line.

 

[BeholdMe]

I just saw Deadpool and it was really great. I really enjoyed both Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. It really makes me look forward to another XMovie. Anyone certain what Negasonic powers were?

 

[Danbito]

Well Deadpool's position is weird right now. I think Singer and Kinberg place Deadpool in the new timeline post-DOFP, but Ryan Reynolds says different and would prefer if Deadpool is free from all those timeline continuities and is its own little island in terms of canon.

 

[def28]

Since the X-Men movies take place in the past there's nothing to worry about. Just look at Deadpool as canon.

Reynolds main point is that they didn't write the script around DOFP. It was written prior. Already disregarding Origins as nothing but a bad joke.

True. good way to look at it. To be fair, Origins was never really canon. Origins had both Logan and Victor serving in the Vietnam War and are under military arrest since until meeting Stryker. DOFP has Logan working for mobsters, alone, and was discharged or wasn't even enlisted in the military by the end of Vietnam.

deadpool won't be.not if they want more x-men in sequel and want to set up X-force.Reynolds doesn't have final say.

 

[def28]

He does when it comes to Deadpool, and pretty soon X-Force. Dude flat out said that's his priority. And Fox would be foolish to tell him otherwise or deny him characters if these impressive numbers hold up.

Luckily Reynolds is smart enough to not shove Deadpool in roles he doesn't belong. It's Fox who are gonna want to do that now that they know for a fact he makes them cash day one.

 

[Danbito]

At most I see Deadpool only appearing in X-Men films as far as a small cameo in Wolverine 3. Because interaction between an actual Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is too good to pass up before Hugh hangs up the role.

cannonballllllll!

Yeah that needs to happen.

Origins is semi-canon because the movie started with Wolverine as a child in 1845. Every event from that year to 1973 still exists in the timeline and plus, Wolverine still served in the Vietnam war since it started in 1955 but he went on leave from duty to do work for the mob like what we see in DOFP. Speaking of the whole "Vietnam" issue, since Stryker didn't recognize Wolverine in DOFP when they were in Paris, the Vietnam war scene in Origins was most likely in 1975 but as you pointed out, that scene no longer exists now that DOFP erased that scene along with the rest of the film.

I'm not too sure about when the Vietnam scenes in Origins take place, there's been no indication in Origins that he did mob work when on leave from duty. I found out it odd how Origins implied that Logan had to play babysitter for Victor over the years, yet when we're introduced to him in DOFP, he's very isolated. I don't even think he has his dog tags. Although I will agree on everything pre-Vietnam being canon.

So it's looking like Deadpool might just beat DOFP's opening weekend. It's definitely going to beat its first Friday. Who would have thought!?! I'm psyched because growth for Fox's X-Men cinematic universe is win-win for everyone!

Finally saw the X:A trailer in theaters with Deadpool (along side CW and SS).

They also had the cardboard display as well.

The only bit I could find on it was a shot piece from the director who said she can basically generate an explosion, like a mini-nuclear warhead, that allows her to propel her body at a great force. Something along those lines anyway.

It must happen, it just has to.

 

[Malik]

There's a new scene in the Australian trailer of apocalypse they showed in deadpool, there's some bodies laying on alters or something with young apocalypse and some obscure figures behind him.

I'd give him final say on Deadpool. He's earned that. But X-Force too? No way. They need to set that up right and keep all avenues open with that. Kinberg, someone involved in each X-Men series/spinoff, needs to make those calls. They have to start making a legitimate connective universe. Not a half ass one.

 

[kasjan]

cannonballllllll!

You don't even know who is Cannonbal then.

That had nothing to do with Negasonic or Cannonball.
It was Nitro's power.
They should call her Nitro, not Negasonic.

 

[Malik]

Also they can't have each spin-off set in it's own universe, you can't build an x-universe that way wtf. Fox needs a better strategy if that's what they're going to do.

 

[def28]

It's all supposed to be in the same universe except for Legion. I don't know what you guys are talking about.

He already has final say on Deadpool. He chose the creative team, wrote the script with them, serves as producer and handled most the marketing as well. Fox steers him the wrong way with the character again, and he's gone. Given that this was the highest rated and potentially highest grossing first Marvel installment Fox has had (regardless of being R) the smart money is on them not doing that.

Deadpool 2 is gonna have[BLACKOUT] Cable. How is that not setting it up?[/BLACKOUT] Kinberg is on board this as well. Him Reynolds and Miller have all been name dropping X-Force and talking about it being rated R for the past month.

Unless Apocalypse has some insane tricks up it's sleeves regarding X-Force characters, I don't see any logic whatsoever on why Fox would decline them creative control at this point being that the Deadpool films and not Singers X-Men will serve as more of an introduction to that specific team.

Well here's good news from BoxOffice.com

"Friday Morning Update: With Deadpool now having opened (to a record breaking midnight tally no less) that leaves the upcoming film market wide open for the taking in terms of Twitter honors. Star Wars: The Force Awakens and then Deadpool were so very dominant over the last 6 months+, in fact one of those two films led the weekly tweets totals 22 out of the last 26 weeks. Needless to say that after that unprecedented run atop the leaderboards its somewhat of a relief to be able to write about something else. Emerging from the shadows this week were the plethora of sequels on the slate over the next few months led by X-Men: Apocalypse which has quietly been generating a lot of interest over the last few weeks. The best comparison here is X-Men: Days Of Future Past which opened on the same weekend in May 2 years ago. For the two weeks leading up to Valentines Day Future Past had accumulated 12,698 tweets, fast forward to this year and Apocalypse has generated 225,942 tweets. That's twenty times the amount of buzz. It is true that its Super Bowl spot gave it a massive shot in the arm (it got 50,000 tweets on Super Bowl Sunday alone), but even for the week prior it was routinely pulling in over 10,000 tweets a day. Clearly the marketing campaign is in full swing here and doing great things for its awareness online. Outside of trailer bumps from other comic sequels this Summer it has consistently been the most talked about of the lot in 2016 so far which is likely telling for box office fortunes as well."
