F*** yes. Just don't screw it up like you did with his character in the Wolverine film, guys. Oh, and Squirrel Girl cameo: do it!

Is it entirely ironic that Brodie, Cure and I were JUST talking about this? That and the Deadpool game the guys over at Raven were talking about wanting to make.

This is f*cking FANTASTIC! Please! PLEASE! Don't mess this up! This could be the greatest comic book movie ever.

Also, lol @ Squirrel Girl.

Get Joe Kelly involved in the writing process somehow, with Neveldine/Taylor directing. Get Vin Diesel as T-Ray and Paul Rudd as Weasel. Reynolds is already perfect for Deadpool. That movie would be amazing.

This is awesome and I hope they don't screw it up. They probably will.

Does Deadpool have a strong enough following for a standalone film? (I'm honestly asking, I have very little exposure to the character)

*Brodie* · 05-07-2009, 11:01 PM

I think so. He's one of the more popular characters in the Marvel universe. I'd say on par with the Punisher. And if that guy can get 3 movies over the passed 25 years, Deadpool should do fine.

Oh hell yes. Fingers crossed that this thing won't fail. I'm sure that if done right we'll be looking at something fantastic right here.

Yeah making this film is a no brainer and I'm sure this will be Hollywood's attempt at elevating Ryan Reynolds status as an action guy.

*Spitfire* · 05-09-2009, 08:44 PM

I don't know much about this character but what I have seen of him I've liked. I think he would work well as an action comedy character. My only concern is Marvel attempting to make everything to realistic and ruining the comic book look of all the characters they bring to the screen. The new X-men film is a testament to that, I actually felt they all were. I would have been perfectly fine with them wearing their classic costumes. Maybe Hugh Jackman refuses to wear yellow or brown.
