Ryan Reynolds Says DEADPOOL Will Have No Connection To X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

deadpool suicide kings is a good book

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was an expensive abortion

I agree with Grif

Is Grif growing up? His comment is more thought out or is this just a fluke?

I think what Grif should be saying is, "What was the point of X-men Origins: Wolverine?"

I'm relieved. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a crap movie... Everybody knows that.

well there is one connection..cough* cough* ryan reynolds cough*

Thats kind of funny. The same actor playing the same character. One would assume it would be in the same universe, however loosely connected it may be.

Sean William Scott? Hmmm, i could see that...

Agreed...Seann William Scott, or Jensen Ackles or Devon Sawa could be cool, too.

And I gotta say. I have the deadpool soundboard on my android, I can't picture Reynalds saying any of it and being funny. SWS is a better choice IMO

I remember the last time they tried to reboot a concept using the same actor: We got Ghost Rider 2. No thanks.

never be made deadpool

If it has no connection to Origins then shouldn't someone else be playing Deadpool?

More of the same, I hope this does happen soon. If not Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool, MarkPaul Gosselaar. I actually think Gosselaar would be better, but Reynolds got it 1st.

FOX NEEDS 2 GIVE BACK X-MEN AND DEADPOOL 2 MARVEL!!!! YEAH, AND THE FANTASTIC FOUR 2!!!!
TIERD OF FOX!!!!

George Clooney could play Cable.

I had this avatar first.

@ Zarog: Agreed 100%

What a LOAD OF SHIT! No Connection? Seems like there is one pretty big connection to Wolverine ... You, Mr. Reynolds! Recast!

No.... My profile date says i had this avatar first.

Two movies a year is perfect. Any more over time would over-saturate the box office, and then Chris Evans would star in a movie called "Not Another Comic Book Movie"

Speaking of Chris Evans... did you guys suddenly stop getting tired of him? As I recall a good number of people here figured he was seriously miscast as Cap, but as it stands the complaints around here are only about his costume in the Avengers.

This one has appeared in five CBMs, two of which were related. Yet we are tired of Ryan Reynolds?

Anyway, I think it's going to suck big time. I like Deadpool, but it all depends on the script, and if he has two dozen truly lame jokes/one-liners to tell (as opposed to "Wolverine" where he only has screen time for two), then there's not a whole lot that can save it.

Edgar Wright needs to direct it, period.

@Tainted87
You're not alone man I still think that Chris Evans was miscasted as Captain America hence why I still have not watched the movie and probably won't.

I have nothing against the guy but when you see somebody play a clown all the time it kind of hard to take them seriously...especially when they play an iconic comic book character like Captain America.

I always viewed Capt. America like I view Batman...always serious and about taking care of business. So for me they were way off when they casted Chris Evans as Capt. America.

It's like casting Zachary Levi as Batman!!!

An R rated Deadpool solo movie is not a good idea. He doesn't have a large enough fan base to make money as an R rated movie. In fact, I am not convinced he has the fan base to pull off a solo movie at all. Some characters that have been around decades longer and have had their own solo titles forever have only had small success on the big screen. Neither Punisher movie made money (Punisher made its production budget but not the promotion budget). In fact, Punisher: War Zone is probably the best indicator of where Deadpool would end up or perhaps Watchmen should Reynolds star power be more of a draw although Watchmen couldn't make its production budget back domestically and even with its overseas take failed to make its promotion budget (rule of thumb, to make a profit a movie has to bring in at least twice its production budget). If Deadpool is made, it will have to be budgeted at less than 60 million.
