Deadpool movie finally gets a release date

[NinjaPug]

As far as continuity goes every X-Men film outside of FC and DOFP no longer happened so there isn't anything in Deadpool to connect to right?

That wasn't Deadpool, that was a monstrosity that we do not talk about in a Deadpool thread. Or ever, with anyone. Ever.

I thought DoFP only erased X3 from existence? The other 2 still happened.

I'm not quite sure how.

No, everything that previously happened after 1973 was erased.

They didn't really specify what happened and what didn't. I mean, technically the entire timeline was changed going forward, but clearly a lot of stuff still turned out the same way. In theory, X-Men and X-Men 2 could have both happened for the most part, except I guess without Jean dying? (Then again, coming back from the dead is kind of her whole deal, so I choose to count everything except X-Men 3 and Wolverine Origins. )

To make matters more confusing there's the third Wolverine solo movie coming out, and that's apparently in the old continuity since its a sequel to The Wolverine.

[Leo656]

I have a strong feeling that the "official" explanation is simply going to be: "If you liked (Title of X-Men Movie), then it counts. If you though it sucked, it doesn't count. Anything that doesn't add up? Time travel/space-time continuum, don't think too hard or it'll break the entire universe."

I mean that's really all they CAN say.

[CyberCubed]

Everything counts even if its no longer in the timeline, because it still happened before the history was altered.

That wasn't Deadpool. Not only did they take the piss out of that in one of the trailers, but there's an in-film joke to Wolverine via an action figure

[THGhost]

X1, X2 and The Wolverine all definitely still happened. The only feeling of anything being erased that I got after watching DoFP (and The Wolverine) was that X1 and X2 will both play out the same way (with slight differences such as Wolverine being a teacher, Xavier remembering Wolverine travelling back in time, Cyclops not dying, etc), but the "new X3" will be different, i.e. Jean not dying. DoFP basically ended inside a scene from X1

More genius marketing:

Spoiler:

In Deadpool, was the shot of the Xavier school's sign taken from one of the older X-Men movies? Cos it looked like it was. The quality of the film looked different.

Also I'm pretty damn sure I heard an Audi 5000 reference in there somewhere. Black Nerd Comedy is gonna love that.

Wow, Deadpool was awesome, I didn't want it to end.

I might go see it again, if i'm not busy.

[ZariusTwo]

Definitely seeing it again tomorrow.

Apparently roughly $7m had to be slashed from the budget at the last minute - http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-makers-of...the-1758147495

Things that were cut from the movie:

“Angel Dust, played by Gina Carano, used to be three different characters,” writer Rhett Reese explained. “It was Garrison Kane, Sluggo and Wire. There was a reduction of action. We had a motorcycle chase between Deadpool and Ajax on the freeway that we took out. We had a big, big gun fight in the third act that we took out and we basically had Deadpool forget his guns as a means of getting around it. So there were just reductions.”

Well that sucks. Conversely, given Deadpool appears to be already opening well, maybe they'll put more money back in the sequel
