Marvel fans, myself included, have been waiting for a faithful Deadpool movie for what seems forever. The way he was treated in X-Men Origins: Wolverine has only inflamed fans further. But according to Ryan Reynolds, who played Wade Wilson in Origins and seems determined to right that wrong, it doesn’t sound as if it will be moving forward into active development any time soon. His quote is below, but be sure to watch the interview to also hear Emma Stone praise The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s screenplay. Hey You Guys spoke to both of them at a recent junket for The Croods.
Watch it here:
Jump to the last minute or so if you want to skip the Croods talk.
“It’s up to the studio. 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.”
So here we have a case where it seems the writers, producers, and star want to make a faithful adaptation of the source material, but the studio wants to play it safe. No one can argue Deadpool’s popularity right now. He’s in a couple of books, variant covers all the time and will soon be starring in his own video game. How do you feel about maybe never getting a Deadpool movie?
