< Director choosen. >

Apparently, Reynolds is still attached too.

I was thinking about this movie, and I have to assume they'll play it like a franchise. Thus, I think if they can explain away the Deadpool that was in Wolverine: Origins as being a clone or something, they would not only be giving that movie an "out" (because soooooooooooooooooooo many people thought Deadpool was terrible), but they'd also be giving their franchise life to come forward in time and not be stuck in "Prequels".

“It’s up to the studio,” Reynolds said. “The studio I think is reluctant to pull the trigger on such a hard Rated-R script. Then the guys who wrote it and the producers won’t make it unless it’s that hard and, you know, raunchy.”

Posted by Leisher on Mar. 11 2014,08:22
"X-Men fatigue"?

Fox is currently the king of turning out the worst superhero movies, so fuck them.

It's more likely they don't want to throw money at a character they completely fucked up.

Not when they have X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, the third Wolverine film, and the new FF (which will more than likely suck) all in various stages of development.

At a certain point people want to see other movies besides comic book movies so you have to be really careful what you’re going to pick, and how many are going to be released within a year.

Translation: We've got jackshit and we know it.  We've got a worse script than movies that have flopped.

The guy who directed that short that got everyone excited is going to direct the film, so there's a chance this won't suck.

As for Reynolds, I like the guy, but honestly, the film doesn't need him. Deadpool is hideously disfigured, and wears a mask all the time. Reynolds has great comedic timing and is perfect for the role, but the studio will be trying to show his face too much.

I expect they'll write out the disfigured face...

Fox debuted Deadpool (ish) in 2009’s ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine,’ where Ryan Reynolds played the character as a wise-cracking mercenary with a couple of swords and a bad attitude. At the climax of the film, though, creative license (and some truly awful makeup effects) turned Reynolds into a mute martial artists with giant swords coming out of his arms. Because that’s what you think of when you think of Deadpool: A guy who doesn’t talk with huge sword claws.

Fox isn't just behind terrible Fantastic Four movies, but also mostly bad X-Men movies, including the worst translation of a superhero EVER in Wolverine: Origins that just happened to be Deadpool. They're also partners with Marvel and some profits do go to Marvel/Disney, so...

Exactly.  Sending your help desk overseas is one thing.  Irritates me, but what Disney did was a whole different level of corporate evil.

And don't get me wrong, it really pisses me off that I feel the need to take a stand and not give them money.  I'm giving myself two movies that I'd psyched myself up to see before I decided to not give them my money (Capt. America 3 and Avengers 3), but have resigned myself to not see any more moving forward.  It's easier now.  Star Wars was a little less tough for me since Abrams was doing it, but some of these are going to hurt.

And I know in the long run it doesn't matter to Disney.  Guess I'm doing it more to improve who I am than try to fix who they are.

"Deadpool," a Marvel Studios' creation, opens Feb. 12, and is rated R. Reynolds hopes the film paves the way for more "grown-up" superhero flicks.

"I think it has to, I hope so," he recently told ScreenRant. "There are a lot of superhero movies out there on the market. It's a genre unto itself. I personally would like to see more rated R ones. I just think it's time. We'll see if this holds. Hollywood shamefully copycats every movie that works -- so if this does work, you'll probably see more rated R films!"

"I don't think you're going to see a rated R 'Avengers' movie, but there's room for other ones," Reynolds added. "I think there's room for a rated R 'X-Force' movie!"

Allow to preface my response: I hate Ryan Reynolds and his previous superhero roles.  But goddamn I hope he's right.

EDIT: Trailer for Superman v. Batman makes that movie look more and more like ass.  The Lex Luthor performance could make Affleck's acting merely the second worst aspect of the film.  Currently in terms of quality, it looks somewhere between the second and third Keaton entries.

I get where they are coming from.  Look at Batman & Robin from 1997.  Between the puns from Mr. Freeze and the batcard it shows they can't be trusted with any attempts at humor.  So they decided not to risk it.

If they could focus on actually being funny yet subtle in the humor they added to these movies it would be fine.  But they wouldn't, they'd screw it up because corporate executives have no sense of humor.  Better not to even try.

I knew about the former, not the latter.  I'd also like to add that Deadpool hit three-quarters of a billion dollars in spite of being banned in China, one of the world's largest film markets.  The Avengers made $86M there, so there's a good chance it'd push Deadpool over the $800M mark.  Not bad for a $58M budget.
