Well, that's a bit more encouraging. Earlier today (click the link above) director Tim Miller provided an update that virtually meant nothing is happening with Deadpool at the moment. Well, Deadpool creator Robert Liefeld has chimed in with more upbeat news, stating that the departure of former Fox CEO Tom Rothman is one obstacle down on the path to bringing Wade Wilson to movie screens across the world. Liefeld also says that he's already met with Mark Millar & Tim Miller to discuss the project. Liefeld event went as far as re-tweeing a comment that says Deadpool will show up in X-Men: Days of Future Past! Are we seeing the first tentative steps towards seeing Deadpool ( I refuse to acknowledge the aberration we saw in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) on the silver screen?

Yes so this douche is rewarded after being a ass to both Marvel and Dc comics.....when will folks learn.
marvel72 - 10/19/2012, 2:31 PM
show us the footage!

the deadpool movie is a double edged sword.on one side i want the deadpool movie but on the other side fox could f*ck it up,we all know what their track record is like with comic book movies.
TheAstoundingMan - 10/19/2012, 2:32 PM
"I think the success of the Deadpool game will help immensely and get the Deadpool film a green light. It's going to be HUGE"

Provided that the game is successful.
KaneVonDoom - 10/19/2012, 2:37 PM
The most successful thing Marvel and Fox can do is get Liefeld the [frick] away from this movie.

@marvel72: "the deadpool movie is a double edged sword.on one side i want the deadpool movie but on the other side fox could f*ck it up,we all know what their track record is like with comic book movies."

Well if you read the script for it, it was incredibly promising but not only that keep in mind that Tom Rothman(the reason for that track record) is no longer at FOX.
Forilaz - 10/19/2012, 2:47 PM
Most importan factors we're dealing with here; success of:

1) the Deadpool game
2) the RIPD (Reynolds' next comic book movie)
3) The Goon (if it gets made)

If FOX are smart enough, they'll include Deadpool in "X-Men: Days of the Future Past". That way the character will get popular again, people will start talking and the Deadpool movie will be next logical step.
marvel72 - 10/19/2012, 2:48 PM
@ sweetre15

yeah i've read the script & it was fantastic but because it was leaked online i don't think they'll use it.

we'll have to wait & see how this turns out.
Jollem - 10/19/2012, 2:52 PM
liefeld created the "merc with the mouth"

i think i'd be disappointed if he wasn't mouthy from time to time
marantaz - 10/19/2012, 2:55 PM
If they make this, it should be without Ryan Reynolds... then, he can say the line about looking like Ryan Reynolds, and that would be hilarious (and a nice dig into Ryan's ego!). Right now, I can live without it, though... plenty of characters in the Marvel Universe to bring to the screen.
DatScarletPimPerNeLL - 10/19/2012, 2:57 PM
Douche recognize Douche.
KaneVonDoom - 10/19/2012, 3:00 PM
Liefeld did not create The Merc with a Mouth. He created Deadpool but other writers turned him into what he is.

jimpinto24 - 10/19/2012, 3:05 PM
It would be cool if Deadpool did make a cameo in X-Men DOFP.
DoomXfactor - 10/19/2012, 3:14 PM
Im glad. Tom Rathman was against making Avatar, Titanic and the Original X-men. He's a [frick]ING IDIOT!
toco89 - 10/19/2012, 3:18 PM
Seems like its a good day for Deadpool.
souhunter - 10/19/2012, 3:20 PM
In deadpool we trust.
jimoakley666 - 10/19/2012, 3:23 PM
Hmmm. Who is the bigger twat, Leifeld or Rothman....? That is a conundrum.
DeadPoolLax - 10/19/2012, 3:23 PM
I'm beginning to see a pattern. It's like we get Deadpool news in big clumps, but then nothing for a long time. What gives?

Agreed that the Deadpool game with definitely contribute to how/when the movie comes along. And those other factors (RIPD and the Goon) might be the death of this movie, or at least push it back even further than it may be.

I like seeing all this Deadpool stuff, though. Brightened up my Friday.
DioFoRio - 10/19/2012, 3:24 PM
Rothman is gone? Bout [frick]ing time. That dweeby ph
uck screwed up a lot more than CBM's at fox.
AUSSYACE - 10/19/2012, 3:29 PM
Just thinking when is a good time to sell my issue of X-Force with Deadpool's first appearance...
Temple - 10/19/2012, 3:30 PM
So excited for the game already, and the movie getting the green light would make life itself complete.
kevberg - 10/19/2012, 3:54 PM

DatScarletPimPerNeLL

thats Ok, just because you recognize it doesn't mean you have to feel bad about yourself.
tomasocelot - 10/19/2012, 3:54 PM
@ AUSSYACE
Deadpools first appearance was new mutants #98. not x-force. i just want it done right. no more fox f@@k ups.
ElBicho - 10/19/2012, 3:55 PM
Frack yes!
toco89 - 10/19/2012, 4:10 PM
@Avengers

I understand that you're mad... but that was hilarious.
marvel72 - 10/19/2012, 4:20 PM
@ AUSSYACE

deadpool 1st appearance was in new mutants 98 not x-force.

I heard liefeld is cartooning for garfield these days. Though he still cant draw feet..
Funsize - 10/19/2012, 4:37 PM
As long as its not like the atrocity in origins :/

@ earzmundo

Amen brother
sikwon - 10/19/2012, 4:42 PM
Every one always complains about FOX, and ya, fox SUCKS! heres a perfect example,,,, Deadpool in Days of Futures Past. I love Deadpool, love him, but I dont want him in Days. Fox may do it right and have a cool cameo that fits. Or they might just shove him in there to make him "popular". Frustrating.
SanFranLand - 10/19/2012, 4:46 PM
PLEASE NO RYAN REYNOLDS.

ANYBODY BUT REYNOLDS.
darkmetal - 10/19/2012, 4:51 PM
Rob Liefeld is well known for being a horrible artist and he has no fan base.
Yet he continues to receive work from Marvel and DC. The only explanation is that Liefeld's art is'nt all that sucks.
I believe Liefeld sucks from his knees as well as when he draw.
And he must be great at it as he's never far from editors minds.
BenderDickCumPatch - 10/19/2012, 4:55 PM
PLEASE BE TRUE.
astromerc - 10/19/2012, 5:34 PM
FU** U Tom Rothman!!!! Don't let the door hit you on the way out U unimaginative PRICK!
DatScarletPimPerNeLL - 10/19/2012, 5:43 PM
@kevberg ; my comment was actually in relation to liefeld's critical ('blockhead')comments/tweet about Tom Rothman "being removed" from Fox. I actually took a lead from your comment. I can see how you could miscontrue my comment as being directed @ you. I apologize bro.
BlackDynamite - 10/19/2012, 5:44 PM
Deadpool :)
ClarkFarley2012 - 10/19/2012, 6:29 PM
Man just make the dag gone movie yo.
TheAbomination - 10/19/2012, 6:32 PM
Jesus Christ. This better be true and not just some people hyping bullshit out of their ass! YOU HEAR ME FOX?!! MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS F*UCKING DEADPOOL MOVIE OR GIVE THE RIGHTS BACK TO MARVEL!!!
UniBeam11 - 10/19/2012, 7:07 PM
Anyone else fe that quentin tarantino would be perfect to helm a movie like deadpool? His style and tone of his movies really seem to me to fit the feel of a deadpool movie. I think he could do a fantastic job balancing the humor and gore. Just my opinion of course but i think he could do is very well, i think he'd really capture the essence of the character......provided shitty FOX would let him do his thing
theomegasanction - 10/19/2012, 7:47 PM
only way this movie works is to hand the project to a creative team and leave the studio execs out
kevberg - 10/19/2012, 8:17 PM
DatScarletPimPerNeLL

No problemo, My apologies too.
ATrueHero1987 - 10/19/2012, 8:30 PM
He's right about one thing though, I'm glad Rothman is gone.
Fogs - 10/19/2012, 8:39 PM
Hate that guy. Liefeld I mean.
thalidomide - 10/19/2012, 8:40 PM
Deadpool's first appearance is in xforce? LMFAO!!!!


oh btw, STFU LIEFELD!!
AnotherSinisterClone - 10/19/2012, 9:00 PM
F this guy and his hack art. to quote clerks, this guy is f'in clown shoes. not that he could even draw clown shoes to save his life.
Bread - 10/19/2012, 9:39 PM
I wanna see these Dead-Riots!
DGTZ - 10/19/2012, 10:03 PM
YEAH!! Lets get this movie done already!!! I'm so pumped for this movie. It would be awesome if Reynolds can play Deadpool, but if they get Sean William Scott then I'm cool with that too. I just want it to start filming already. I just hope it doesnt suck.
sameoldthing - 10/19/2012, 11:09 PM
I do want to see Deadpool get his own film but PLEEEEEESE,someone confirm that Marvel & Fox will make all the money & Rob "shittiest artist alive" Liefeld receives not one single dime from profits.

He deserves NOTHING!
loki668 - 10/20/2012, 1:19 AM
I love how Liefeld refers to himself as "Deadpool's Daddy" when he had very little to do with the success of the character (beyond ripping off another great character). It was the writers who came after Liefeld who made the character what he is today (and they gave him REAL FEET!!). Liefeld is as much "Deadpool's Daddy" as a pregnant teen is to "being a mom" after leaving her newborn in a dumpster to go back to the prom. Rob Liefeld must have the strongest fingertips in the world, to be able to cling to that last shred of relevancy for so long.

In the future, no sentence should ever include both the words "hope" and "Rob Liefeld" unless they are the following:

"Man, I HOPE that ROB LIEFELD tries to stop a train with his face."

"I HOPE that a pack of rabid badgers has their way with ROB LIEFELD."

"I HOPE that the world finally sees ROB LIEFELD for the untalented, unoriginal, simple-minded, coat-tail riding, hack, sack of shit that he truly is."
