"That's Me" - Ryan Reynolds Confirms Mystery Mutant IS Deadpool

The final word has come in on that mystery mutant in the lastest Wolverine movie trailer. The debate is over when the actor who plays the part says "That's Me!"
“That, I would say, is Deadpool, yeah,” Reynolds told MTV News. “When I’m in the scarred makeup too, and you’ll see closer shots obviously in the film, and it’s hard to even tell that’s me, but you can tell. You’ve just got to find a better shot.”

“I’m not going to get into exactly what’s going on with his mouth, particularly because he is ‘the merc with the mouth,’” added Reynolds when asked, given his previous response, what it was like to film with his mouth sealed. “But it’s going to be pretty interesting when people see it. People are going to be blown away and have a deep appreciation for what it is and how that character fits into this universe.”

Here's the video interview from MTV...



And a bit more they had up later...

Undeadpool Lives! This is terrible!
icebergslick - 3/17/2009, 10:46 AM
I was a skeptic at first, then I accepted the idea, and good thing I did or I'd be PISSED! LMFAO! HAHA!

I' will still be there for the first AND second showings on opening day.
TheMyth - 3/17/2009, 10:46 AM
Lets just give it a chance before we all go crazy.
DarkAvengers - 3/17/2009, 10:50 AM
Whats with all the ads before the videos?
DarkAvengers - 3/17/2009, 10:51 AM
Ads equals not paying for CBM.

Well i guess we will just have to wait for May. Alot of people were thinking Transformers was gonna blow, it didn't. GIJOE yea that shall blow. Well if anything Fox should do a Superman movie. I mean after last one how could it get much worse......
Smolo - 3/17/2009, 10:56 AM
Yeah that's all so true but the difference between Wolverine and Transformers is FOX! Although I do have faith in G.I. JOE. It may not be exactly like the classic show we remember but I think it will be a pretty sweet movie. And you know after that last piece of shit they called a Superman movie I don't know if Fox could do any worse that is of course unless they let Brian Singer Direct it and make it a musical. F#%KING BRIAN SINGER! AHHHHHH!
LastSon1027 - 3/17/2009, 10:59 AM
Lois "Sooommmmeeeboooddddyyy SAaaaaaaveeee meeeee......"

Superman busts out singing "I am Suuuppppperrrrmaaannnnn, and I am Herrrrreeeee to save the daaaayyyyyyyy....."

G.I.Joe - No longer a Real American Hero :(
Besides why would you wanna be in G.I.Joe Obama will just make you pay for your medical bills if you get hurt. And remember Cobra isn't causing Terrorism, its called "man-caused" disasters. So in the movie Cobra will be the good guys and the USA is the bad guys.....

SPIEGEL: Madame Secretary, in your first testimony to the US Congress as Homeland Security Secretary you never mentioned the word "terrorism." Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?


Napolitano: Of course it does. I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word "terrorism," I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.
Smolo - 3/17/2009, 11:06 AM
Well it is true that they did take out the real American hero tagline as to not cut off their viewer base but I still think it will be an awesome movie. I mean if nothing else Scarlett and the Baroness have got rocking bodies.

same here!! damn! the one time i wish i wernt british!! lool can any1 fill me in what reynolds is saying?
mutantJ - 3/17/2009, 11:22 AM
You know...I'm actually pretty sure that early spoiler review was real now. I was just watching the last Origins trailer on youtube again, and Stryker says "you can have your revenge". Revenge on who? According the spoiler review, Stryker offers Wolverine the Weapon X procedure so he can kill Sabretooth. It just all seems to be coming true.
Lansdowne5 - 3/17/2009, 11:28 AM
Guys, stop blaming FOX for this. Yes FOX has pissed us off plenty in the past but this is a plot point, use the script writers as your scapegoats.
JigJRod55 - 3/17/2009, 11:31 AM
AND, in the trailer Sabretooth is trying to kill Beak, just like the spoiler review said he would.....
Lansdowne5 - 3/17/2009, 11:33 AM
sounds like he was joking, but im shure he wasnt...im gonna see it anyhow
FrankDrebin - 3/17/2009, 11:35 AM
I'm not saying that it is not true, but did you notice when he says, "that is Deadpool, yeah" I swear it looks like he is lying. Almost like he is telling only apart of the truth, anyone else notice that?
Isact - 3/17/2009, 11:38 AM
Yeah even when he says, "I think" at the end and then "that's me. He looks like lying. weird.
Isact - 3/17/2009, 11:40 AM
"These things work pretty slowly. I've had a couple of people approach me about meetings for a Deadpool movie, but I think it's absurd to think that way until this movie comes out. And I don't even look at it like I play Deadpool in this movie. I really think I more or less play Wade Wilson, and I'm PLAYING THE CREATURE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME DEADPOOL but in this movie it's his newly formed version." - Ryan Reynolds.

Let's just hope they give us ONE, just ONE scene which leaves us with some hope. Just a quick shot at his mask, or something. Or the blades coming out of his arms and him ripping his mouth open. Just SOMETHING. ANYTHING which gives us some hope of seeing the real Deadpool some day.
Lansdowne5 - 3/17/2009, 11:51 AM
ok,
DEADPOOL cant speak.
THOR is going to be played by Josh Hartnett.
& CAPTIAN AMERICA should be played by Dougy Houser MD.

I mean come one, when will some one stand up to FOX.
They are ass-raping marvel with no lube. Stan Lee
needs to put a cape on,and fight for his work.

We will see it because were fans, but its going to hurt!
NEXUS - 3/17/2009, 12:02 PM
WTF I have said it from day one... I cant wait to see X-Men 3 ??? Oh I mean X-Men The Origins of Wolverine... What a F&^%ing joke! If Reynolds is so passionate about playing one of the best written comic charters of all time. Why wouldn’t he talk some since in this moron directors head... Or does Fox really have this much control over their movies and actors... F&^% FOX and the high hore they ride on!!!!!!!!
Niem8211 - 3/17/2009, 12:04 PM
i dont seem to be alone on the idea that this movie will suck anymore.
grif - 3/17/2009, 12:06 PM
Everything sucks to you right grif ? dont you suck too ?
Doritos - 3/17/2009, 12:20 PM
Nope not at all Grif... Well we always have Transformers and the Terminatior is look to be one kick ass movie also... Oh ya, F&%$ FOX
Niem8211 - 3/17/2009, 12:20 PM
ok i still have faith i mean yeah this is a major downer but still fox could redeem themselves i mean we all did figure it out before he mentioned it that weapon XI was deadpool even though we didn't want to admit it. but hey maybe it won't be as bad who knows it might work out in the end this is just hoping of course though
dogchasingcars - 3/17/2009, 12:22 PM
I just had an idea for FOX, the first gay comic book movie. Neil Patrick Harris as (cappy) Josh Hartnett as (bucky) they fight together, they love together.

hay, Heathe won an Oscar for his gay role. This might be
the only way comic book movie's can start winning Oscars

what u guys think?



NEXUS - 3/17/2009, 12:24 PM
Well all we can do is wait, i have faith in WOLVERINE!!!!! But hopefully FOX has seen so much bad reception over the DEADPOOL subject, they might do afew more cuts an maybe a couple of reshoots!!! They still got time!!! Well you never know!!! ; )
LEEE777 - 3/17/2009, 12:26 PM
lansdowne5, Sabretooth is slashing at Wraith not Beak.
yellowtiger - 3/17/2009, 12:27 PM
Ah, yes, you're right. Maybe he kills Wraith and Beak.....or maybe not. :/
Lansdowne5 - 3/17/2009, 12:31 PM
Nexus dude that is sick kinda funny but just wrong on all levels
dogchasingcars - 3/17/2009, 12:34 PM
shame
Torque - 3/17/2009, 12:45 PM
Let's just give it a chance. Hopefully his body will reject the weaopon XI stuff and become the Deadpool we all know and love. I mean they are supposedly thinking about making a Deadpool movie so they obviously have to have him talking again by the end of the movie. I don't think Reynolds would've taken the role if this was a one time gig.
Juicerules - 3/17/2009, 12:45 PM
deadpool may be crazy and mutated for a while, but the likely outcome will be that after his confrontation with wolverine, he will loose all those extra powers that weapon x gave him and they will try to reverse some of the side effects of the procedure. this will most likely leave him capable of speach once again, but horribly disfugured and virtually powerless. that way we are left with a man who is the deadpool you are all fans of ( i know little about the character). also, it leaves it open ended, and a chance for more to come in his future.
blacksword7 - 3/17/2009, 12:51 PM
yeah really lets give it a chance...sure everyone is disappointed about Deadpool but eh, it's just one change y'know?
crappybumbum - 3/17/2009, 12:54 PM
This movies going to have some cool parts, but the story is set to fail. The more i read and see, the less its about Wolvrine. I know they are not smart enough to put
MR.SINISTER as the reason for all of this. Wade/dead/weapon, no way that works! I just cant wait
for May 2nd, we are going to be so pissed. lol 2funny
NEXUS - 3/17/2009, 12:54 PM
Come on ppl don't you remember that wonderful movie Called "Soldier" the lead character had maybe like a sentence. And boy did that movie rock.....barfffff.
Smolo - 3/17/2009, 1:06 PM
Likened to THEMYTH, I've lived with it after counting to 10 and calming down.

I still think.....

That because Stryker would definatly take advantage of Wade's ablity to make an ultimate mutant weapon, it being his sadistic nature andd all, that Wade'll get so mashed up by sabertooth and Wolvie that he literally grows a new body, like Wolverine did when he fought the hulk, only he's more apt to do it due to his hyper healing factor.

Only his body heals the way its supposed to, with its original atributes, not with the added inhancments stryker made. THe trauma of the proceedure to give him the extra powers messed up his brain even more then it was before, he runs off with his self made costume from the weapon-x jump suit and becomes DEADPOOL
TheSoulEater - 3/17/2009, 1:18 PM
... idk if i believe mr. Reynolds... i think he's messin w/ us :) i really do. watch how he acts. he smiles WAY too much about it. i think he's playin us
ManOfIron - 3/17/2009, 1:27 PM
Good luck with that soul eater, i hope your right on.

But on something that has nothing 2do with deadpool
marvel released 2 great movies 2day Punisher and the rerelease of Haword the Duck. Both are just as great
as Wolvrine will be....lol
NEXUS - 3/17/2009, 1:28 PM
ryan does play. but remember he has a gag order
so he has to think b4 he spk's and thats what i think he was doing. he didnt want 2 give up 2much, but he gave us what we didnt want....hope he was playing
NEXUS - 3/17/2009, 1:31 PM
So what will we see after the credits? Mr. Sinister, masked Deadpool, or both?
BrunoDJ - 3/17/2009, 1:34 PM
Mother of pearl! lol. That was because the videos can't be played outside the US. Grr. The Deadpool thing, kinda sucks, but sounds like in the end things might be ok. Reynolds knows the character so I'm sure in the end it'll end up being Deapool...I'm hopeful anyways.
SirExcalibur - 3/17/2009, 1:35 PM
Screw that...I refuse to pay for this movie and see that....there was absolutely no reason to do that to Wade/Deadpool....


I hope to god that this stupid phase of claws and laserbeams is just temporary and then turn him into the REAL Deadpool and not some bastardized version
DSAhawker - 3/17/2009, 1:35 PM

DSAhawker - 3/17/2009, 1:35 PM
ok who gives a shit about deadpool!!!!! ok he has the scares and he will probly lose the powers. And i think it's more stupid that he's the last guy wolverine fights. This movie is one big cluster fu ck isen't it?! Sabertooth should be the last person he fights, But then again he looks so gay atleast this mutated deadpool is something he can fight. But i rather see the big rampageing monster sabertooth at the end wolverine in some kind of a costum. But who cares about all of that they can make all the changes they want hell put x-factor or alphalight in there, who caers gambit is in it :) :D ;)
Logan-X - 3/17/2009, 1:42 PM
Right on Bruno...2hrs of shit and 5great mins after the credits. I <3 FOX
NEXUS - 3/17/2009, 1:44 PM
u never know, he might cut his own mouth open in the end. and say some stupid one liner like, "I have to split!"
Betty - 3/17/2009, 1:54 PM
Anyone notice how towards the end of the interview he said "As far as I know, that's me." That line just sounds funny. I would think that he would know whether or not that was him. I bet is that he's just trying to pull one over. That interview just doesn't seem right.
ecksmanfan - 3/17/2009, 1:57 PM
He's obviously misinforming in the interview. I am betting the mutant is called Deadpool but isn't the real wade. Then at the end hes like Deadpool...I like the sound of that....
RustyNail - 3/17/2009, 2:01 PM
yeah yeah...it almost looks like he's unsure, or lying...please god, please...have him lying...cuz if you do pause the trailer, it doesn't look anything like Reynolds, I mean, the facial structure and everything...so lets hope it's some sort of trick
davidzuck - 3/17/2009, 2:03 PM
haha, I like the sound of that RustyNail
davidzuck - 3/17/2009, 2:03 PM
Actually Scott Adkins is claiming to be playing the role... http://www.scottadkinsfanz.co.uk
RustyNail - 3/17/2009, 2:06 PM
@TheSoulEater
I totally agree with you, and as long as Wade Wilson becomes the Deadpool we know by the end of the film I think it'll be fine. Ryan Reynolds loves this character, and I don't think he would play Deadpool if they totally butchered him.
foobie - 3/17/2009, 2:10 PM
please, stop complaining. Regardless, itll still be a really good movie..I think hes just saying this to rile up some of u fan boys. I highly doubt, that anyone, including FOX, would totally change a character into something hes never been.
JuneTheMachine - 3/17/2009, 3:01 PM
I have two seperate possibilities that I would like to share at this point in reference to this whole thing.

If Mr. Reynolds isn't lying here....then my expectation is that during the battle with wolverine, his blades get ripped off and whatever else needs to happen....like he temporarily goes blind or whatever. Ultimately I think he will be beaten down into his normal deformed self and will dawn the mask. Honestly....we know for a fact that if he stays like that no one will want to see a deadpool movie.

My second scenario is that Reynolds actually kills this mutant. Then takes his name. Or something along those lines. Maybe agent X....or Daken, or John Howlett.My personal take is Daken based on comic knowledge and they have obviously ventured into the love life of wolvie and what better weapon than his son says Striker. Muramasa blades are clearly attached to his arms in the preview.
KingWill - 3/17/2009, 3:17 PM
Wow NEXUS, please shut the [frick] up if you dont know your shit. Fox isnt in charge of Thor or Captain America you dildosniffer. And Heath Ledger didnt win an Oscar for getting it up the ass. Go back to your basement and research your shit first.

@Grif woah, are you seriously still on your period??? How long has it been? A whole year now? I think you need to get that checked soon.
CaptainAmerica - 3/17/2009, 3:27 PM
I was gonna get into that too captain but I just let it go....sometimes its better to save the freedom of speech for someone with a relative arguement or even proper facts at the debate table. Grif and Logan-X are like the two biggest cry babies on here. Logan won't stop until he sees Wolvie in spandex regardless of how many times you say they are trying to make it relative and not cheesy. Grif just hates everything.....Grif....Pizza....u hate that too? Huh? Lmao
KingWill - 3/17/2009, 3:33 PM
lol OMG i really really really wanna see Wolverine in sexy spandex!!!!! And Hulk in some cute purple shorts. People dont understand that some things are better being left out. As for Deadpool, HES GONNA WEAR THE [frick]ING MASK BY THE END OF THE MOVIE!!!!!! or else they wouldnt be talking about a spinoff film.
CaptainAmerica - 3/17/2009, 3:40 PM
I really really hope that the Deadpool spin-off will be more concentrating on the comics, so it will be a better movie.
Kockie - 3/17/2009, 3:42 PM
Stop complaining? unlike most of you Deadpool was the only reason I would see this movie... Not a big Gambit fan like most, but I have been waiting 5 f%$#ing years to see Deadpool in a movie... I was very excited to hear Reynolds was palying the role... He is prob pissed after seeing what they did to him, so that is why were hearing him say so much about his role...





Niem8211 - 3/17/2009, 3:47 PM
@Junethemachine i fail to see how you can say regardless it will still be a really good movie based solely on trailers etc. or Gavin Hood has made good movies I know but so did Ang Lee. Fox wouldnt change a character really like make Kingpin black or Colosus American sure....

Anyways I'll just wait to see it and then Judge, that weapon character looks better than Juggernaut anyday and he was made into an idiot who basically explodes stuff he runs into ...coz theres now way he could smash anything at the speed he ran.

On a side note this Punisher ad is so annoying I watched it two days ago and all i can say is i've seen more realistic blood in Jacki Chan movies. They put in so much gore but when someone is hit by an rpg they dissapear into a cloud of smoke.....stupid.
breakUbatman - 3/17/2009, 3:49 PM
They had to [frick] it up somehow.
What is wrong with the film execs? Do they not realise what they do with these comic book films? I'm still recovering from X3 *shudder*
ReikoLJ - 3/17/2009, 3:52 PM
I didn't even know Daredevil was going to be in this movie. I hope Favreau is back as Foggy Nelson.
StarksNStripes - 3/17/2009, 3:53 PM
Im gonna have to agree....that mask will be surfacing possibly in the next few weeks....we will definately see. But I can almost promise it. Without it, well....Fox makes it pretty clear that they hate us all.
KingWill - 3/17/2009, 3:55 PM
StarsNStripes what the hell are you talkin about?
KingWill - 3/17/2009, 3:57 PM
Oh ya I did't mention --- F%$# FOX!!!!
Niem8211 - 3/17/2009, 4:06 PM
so much for my expectations for this movie, Its bad enough they F#!k Dragonball up they just had to F$!ked this up to.
TDKR11 - 3/17/2009, 4:20 PM
ok ga dammit you deadpool fans that are saying you will not see the movie because of what fox did are stressing me out this is WOLVERINES movie! not a deadpool origins, i think the extra shoots were done for you guys!!! and its not even his movie!

ok, now im not a huge deadpool fan, lets say he does get his own movie who would he fight? what would he do? could his tale carry a whole movie? too me it seems like his a punisher type character with a sword. and its going to be difficult to get that punisher taste out of the moviemakers mouth.
loganaspatch - 3/17/2009, 4:23 PM
whether its a wolverine movie or not why should another decent character be ruined in the process? especially one as cool as deadpool!!! the mention of scars makes me hopeful we may end up seeing the classic deadpool...or is that wishful thinking? Probably! Sob :-(
JoshW - 3/17/2009, 4:31 PM
well i just youtubed this interview and only got a 2 minute clip(wich did not contain his lieing part of this interview dammit) but it gave me hope for DP. ryan said his dream would be to do a DP movie done 100% from the comic material, including his knowing hes in a comic/movie haha. im still not sold that DP isnt weapon XI but this gives me hope that reynolds knows what hes talking about for a potential spinoff
ThePrince - 3/17/2009, 4:42 PM
Well, i dont know. I still think the movie looks shit cool and if they redeem themselves for the Deadpool disaster by putting him in a mask..or even hinting that they might..at the end ill live with the laser eyed, clawed, teleporting, mouthless Deadpool
RorMachine - 3/17/2009, 4:43 PM
I knew it! I knew FOX f@$ked up and that you werent supposed to be able to tell that that was Scott Adkins. Those trailors were not made for screen shots. Being able to distinct Scott in the trailor was a mistake.
Im still okay with it as long as it follows "themyth"'s synopsis. Like I said before, FOX is in the business of making money, and I dont think they want or need another failure. So on that note, I think the movie is going to be a good suprise.
Oh and great job to all the fans out there who got to the bottom of this.

And to all those people out there that keep telling everyone to quit complaining... THIS IS OUR CHOICE!!! If we dont like something or disapprove, it is our choice to speak up. Like I said if you dont like what is said, dont read it.

Plus the whole point of these forums is to spark debate. To get other peoples impression and ideas. Yes, people could be less whinny and bitchy, but if thats how somenone feels, then thats that.

I think we will all be suprised about this movie. There will always be people who will hate it no matter what, but I think over all FOX will learn their lesson and we will start to get quality movies, that will make us feel good about them!!
Justadjust - 3/17/2009, 5:08 PM
I like that Ryan's honest, most movie stars just dance around it. Plus Ryan seems pretty confident about it so that makes me feel a little bit better about this whole thing. Who knows maybe there's more to this whole weapon XI thing then their letting on.

Superman4
Superman4 - 3/17/2009, 5:23 PM
loool i was finkin we need not worry bout this whole mutant xI business..cuz theres like 101 diff explanations to how mutant xI can go back to being normal ol deadpool

like oh i dunno..we know deadpools healingfactor allows him to also heal body parts s maybe in the fight wolverine 'offs' his arms and they grow back in the fight (buh now hes blade-less) and it was revealed in another source that his head might get cut off..in the comics it was done and deapool came back..hey maybe that can contribute to why deadpool would loose them damn stitches in his mouth and looses them powers..

i dunno buh anyfins possible so stop worryin..atleast until we see the movie..ryan look confident enuff and if hes taking us for mugs we can always hire a...

@NEXUS:Josh Harnett was approached to play Loki, NOT Thor. Get your facts straight. Please everybody wait until Wolverine comes out & see it before you condemn it.

SWANN - 3/17/2009, 6:02 PM
@SWANN

You better get your facts straight before you start telling somebody to get their facts straight. I imagine Nexus was referring to this article:

http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/those-who-would-play-thor-knowns-unknowns/

This article relates the possibility that Hartnett is being considered for the role of Thor as well. Of course who knows how reliable the source is but it's still been quoted on several websites and it's about as "confirmed" as the rumor that he's been offered the role of Loki.
alten2345 - 3/17/2009, 6:26 PM
The thing is i see people bash movies based on the trailers constantly. Even bootlegged pre production trailers. It's usually one of two groups that jump on that bandwagon. One being the rabid fanboys who feel any deviation from the very first origin tale is an act of heresy. The second being the fanboys who jump on board the source material and THINK they know quite a bit about the character but don't.

Deadpool is subjected to or volunteers for the experiments that turns him into mutant number whatever and spends the last moments of the film kicking wolverine's arse around the screen until his body rejects the mutations except for the healing factor stolen from wolverine leaving him horribly disfigured.

There's just ONE of i'm sure hundreds of ways that they could still work into the traditional deadpool character and it took me all of 30 seconds to come up with.

The bottom line is the movie looks cool, gonna be a decent action flick, and will entertain me for a couple of hours. I won't die or write hate mail to marvel or Fox over it if it sucks I'll just be a bit disappointed. I'm sure not going to knock it entirely based on 2 minutes of clips shown in a trailer though...
Cali - 3/17/2009, 6:29 PM
My facts are straight. I have a link to back me up. There was no mention o f Thor being offered to him from this site just Loki.
SWANN - 3/17/2009, 6:30 PM
@Swann

"There was no mention o f Thor being offered to him from this site just Loki."

What site are you talking about?

If it's the link you posted, it's not confirmation that he was offered or is being considered, just a rumor. Just like the link I have up suggests he's being pursued for Thor.
alten2345 - 3/17/2009, 6:32 PM
www.darkhorizons.com I posted the link to the article. You might have to cut & paste it. I never said he had the role.I said he was approached to do it. I read it a few days ago. I wanted to apologize to you, Nexus, I just read the article on here about him being offered the Thor role as well.
I missed that article & didn't read it. I just went off of the article from dark horizons. Forgive me.
SWANN - 3/17/2009, 7:16 PM
GUYS DONT WORRY, HE BECOMES THE DEADPOOL WE KNOW IN THE END, RUMOR IS HIS BODY WAS LOADED UP WITH ALL THE WEAPON X TEAM'S POWERS, HIS BODY REJECTS IT AND HE IS LEFT SCARRED UP BUT STILL RETAINING HEALING ABILITY, ON GOES THE MASK, MEMORIES A BLURR, ALL HE REMEMBERS IS AN EXPERIMENT LEADING TO HEALING ABILITY BUT A JACKED UP FACE..ENTER DEADPOOL.

I hate FOX!
Metalhead82 - 3/17/2009, 8:09 PM
Does anybody in here hyped for a villian like weapon XI?...Do you people even know who Scott Adkins is?...If he had the right approach he could have been the next acion star, but seems nobody cares to watch martial arts movies anymore...
Minotauro - 3/17/2009, 8:20 PM
I don't get why people rip on Superman so hard for all the wrong reasons. The ONLY reason it blew was because of his son. Not because he has a son with Lois, but because Supes and Lois obviously knocked boots, yet Lois doesn't know it's him with the glasses on? Maybe she could see past the glasses if he whipped it out for her....
frankiepoo5 - 3/17/2009, 8:33 PM
As bad as this all seems, I am still going to wait until the reviews on opening day come in. That is the only way I will see it. I am not wasting $20 to see a movie that sucks. And if what Reynolds is saying is true, then they just lost a lot of fans.
SuperFlyinPwrs - 3/17/2009, 8:58 PM
Okay this goes out to all the die hard fans that havn't seen any of Ryan Reynold's other films except Blade. Ryan is know for his cleverness and his deception, did you guys once think to anaylize everything that he is saying. "It's hard to even tell but,it's me" slight undetectable humor. Larry:That's you in the trailer not some other actor? Ryan: As far as I know I think that was me in the trailer.- Ryan is being a smart ass, duh he was in the trailer, as the deadpool character:P not the guy with his mouth sealed shut. you can tell that Ryan is lying through out the entire interview:P

|mitchcontrol| My sentiments exactly!
I - 3/17/2009, 9:57 PM
Just watched the trailer again and had a couple of questions. 1) Who is the person that is frozen and has green eyes. Likes like a younger kid. 2) Have we seen any pics of Beak/Dominic Monaghan?
ecksmanfan - 3/17/2009, 10:46 PM
don't know who the kid is but he/she has one green one blue and i'm trying to rack my brain remembering who had eyes like that....
Cali - 3/17/2009, 10:55 PM
at first before all of this with the deadpool thing, i was thinking this was going to be the best of all the xmen movies. even after the deadpool thing, i still believe it will be the best. i'm hyped, it might get a little choppy around the deadpool, but it will still come out good. my world is the xmen world. it's a weird way of introducing deadpool, but if the movies go exactly like the comics then we will know what to look forward to in the movie. i think it's funny all this stuff about deadpool surrounding a wolverine movie. i don't mind them playing around with him because wolverine is going to be strong, hugh has never looked this good ever, sabre is going to be a great character and i think it will be true to it's nature. the history between the two is going to be spot on, i even think gambit is going to be as good as we have been hoping for since they said he was going to be in x2. this movie is going to kill the box office and it will set up at least 2 more movies, deadpool will most likely be in the second and in his own, as well as japan, and we all know from batman, spiderman, and x2, the second movie is always the best. fox will not mess this up that much because they don't have anything else making them this kind of money cause fantastic four sure as hell isn't. the thing i am most disappointed about is if you look at the trivia for the movie on imb, or what ever the hell it is called, zack snyder was in line for this but fox told him it can't be rated r, and the second after i left 300 my thoughts were, this guy would make a kick ass wolverine movie. by the end of the movie deadpool will be deadpool, the movie will be good, like hugh said, there is fighting throughout this whole movie, and what more could you ask for.
loelife - 3/17/2009, 11:59 PM
well i havent re-watched the trailer but if the kid has a green and blue eye and with this movie featuring a younger Stryker my first thought is its his son, assuming the kid you speak of is a male. didnt his freak kid in the wheelchair in X3 have one green and one blue eye? just a guess anyways.
ThePrince - 3/18/2009, 12:42 AM
i dunno... it seems like the interview was cut short, as in we're missing something he says shortly after. any links to the full interview?
Colt - 3/18/2009, 1:36 AM
The kid with the blue and green eye is Stryker's son Jason I think. he is the only mutant from the previous movies that would be a young boy with multi colored eyes around this time period.
mitchcontrol - 3/18/2009, 1:39 AM
Let's just wait for the film.....then we can at least make a justified decision as to whether it's rubbish or not. :D
Lansdowne5 - 3/18/2009, 5:57 AM
I seriously doubt this movie will be rubbish..in fact due to what i have seen and the talent involved im pretty sure that AS A MOVIE it will be awesome...But of course we as comic fans may not allow ourselves to enjoy it because of the liberties it seems to have taken! Im not a huge stickler for 100% accuracy to the source but turning Deadpool into that freak is cheeky to say the least. Like i said all may not be as it seems and Reynolds certainly seems to be keeping a few secrets.
RorMachine - 3/18/2009, 6:39 AM
I have to agree Fox is [frick]in up the character Deadpool. I've read most of the comments on here and I have to agree with them. Wolverine movie is going still good in the box office coming May, because of the fan that don't read the comics are going see it like it. But I have say what going [frick] up the movie is explaining why are they showing Scott Summers. Who in which didn't remember see Logan at all in the first Xmen movie.

Just a food for thought.
thunder2k8 - 3/18/2009, 6:53 AM
@Frankiepoo I think Superman and Lois can knock boots all they want. Superman should never ever have a kid...He is the Last son of Krypton not the Second Last.

At this point I'm not really concerned about deadpool now obviously even if he stays like that at the end of the movie it can be rectified...Gambit as someone said before is yet to be heard, i hope they dont pull a Colossus. I wonder if they all get mind wiped at the end of this movie or they'll do it in the sequel.

breakUbatman - 3/18/2009, 7:06 AM
thunder2k8 The weapon X people found out some way to make Logan forget his past, I sure they'll find some way to make Scott forget as well, remeber in the trailer that Weapon X creature had cyclops' optic beam power, which means that eventually Stryker captures Scott, takes some of his Mutant X gene and uses it for the creature. During that extraction what ever happened to wolverine during his transformation to make him forget his memory will also happen to Scott. That theory is from information gathered from the trailers and from past x men movies.(not a fan of the comics)
mitchcontrol - 3/18/2009, 7:07 AM
Guys, and gals, I just want to ask you all to chill over all this. Rest assure, Wolverine will be badass. We all know that film studios take their own liberties with characters, and frankly, this is the first real discrepancy we've had with this particular film. Let's all just chill, and be there on May 1st to watch it. I, for one, will be seeing the first 2 showings, and I am gonna love it!

It is incredibly narrow-minded and childish to say this movie will be garbage simply because they didn't follow Deadpool's origin to the letter, it is X-Men Origins: Wolverine anyway isn't it. If you can't grow up and accept it, then stay home. Don't give Fox your $8 if it means that much to you. But stop making yourselves seem so immature over something that really isn't as bad as some of you are making it out to be. Everytime I see someone complain with great conviction over this, it makes me wonder how much you know about Deadpool anyway.

This post isn't for those of you who have responsibly accepted this reality, good for those that have, it'll make it alot easier to enjoy this film, as an intelligent person would never condemn or judge something without having first hand experience.
TheMyth - 3/18/2009, 7:14 AM
I hope young storm still shows up in the movie, but sadly I don't think she will be the weather goddess until she hits her 20's, but maybe the shadow king would make an appearance. SInce I know that they are in Africa for some portion of the movie, becuase that's where the team assembles.
mitchcontrol - 3/18/2009, 7:20 AM
@breakubatman they do gambit's voice it is in a like a ten second sound clip on the wolverine origins website click his name and it gives you his picture and the sound bit and trust me he sounds cajun
dogchasingcars - 3/18/2009, 7:30 AM
i dont know why but i just dont believe it reynolds just sounds too... uhm youknow like :"if i say this they'll hate us but if they see the movie it's gonna blow them away" i still dont think it's true it just cant be could it?......

this has to be storm right? who else would have white hair and be black at that age lool
mutantJ - 3/18/2009, 7:54 AM
Mutant J that is awesome. yes i think it is storm and for once it isn't hallie berry thank the gods.
dogchasingcars - 3/18/2009, 7:59 AM
This is a young Storm but unfortunately she has been cut from the finished movie
RorMachine - 3/18/2009, 7:59 AM
what why would they cut her off for? they gt strikers kid (frozen) in this and cyclops as a kid..why would they cut out storm? oh well


mutantJ - 3/18/2009, 8:07 AM
@MutantJ: Yeah one of the producers, Lauren Schuler Donner(think that's how its spelled, lol) said it was cut from the theatrical version. I think they realized they were just making it an X-Men origins film instead lol.

I have heard the Gambit sound clip too. I was impressed. He has that low rasp and you can hear the accent on a few words.
TheMyth - 3/18/2009, 9:14 AM
Its funny that some of you started talking about a Superman musical movie. There is a Superman Musical that was on Broadway in the 60's. I was involded in a production of it back in 1992 at a regional theatre in Connecticut.
Warg - 3/18/2009, 10:32 AM
OK. Be honest. How many of you have watched this video over and over again, just trying to squeeze the truth out of that guy. Just admit it tough guy! You know you have! Confess!!
Isact - 3/18/2009, 10:40 AM
I aint heard the gambit sound clip yet!! im dieng to hear it tho..im nt sure if iz in any of the vids above cuz i cant view it cuz im from England buh duz any1 have any other links to it?

thanx blood
mutantJ - 3/18/2009, 11:31 AM
my faith level in this movie is back to about 80% thanks to that research on filmschoolgeeks.com - I'm not even a 'huge' Deadpool fan, but I like the character enough to know that he isn't Mortal Kombat's Baraka.....Origin-wise, this type of showdown seems like a good setup for Deadpool's character evolution - it all makes sense - it's just that we all hoped he'd resemble the comic a little more closely...In the end I think we'll be ok.

I'm calm now......I'm calm.
Keven - 3/18/2009, 12:21 PM
Is it me...or does deadpool look like Voldemort from the Harry Potter series except with obvious differences (i.e. mouth sewn shut.)???
icebergslick - 3/18/2009, 1:21 PM
-first of all i really don't think that ryan reynolds would took the rool and then ruin everything,because i read that he is a fan.

-when he said scarred body,in the trailer the body is just tatooed with some markers,so probably he will become the real deadpool.
-and when he said "as far as i know",i think that they are hiding a big reveal for the end,but thats just me.
Wolvie09 - 3/18/2009, 2:57 PM
who knows what they'll do. but it could work out. it might not, but it could. all i know is the trailer looks [frick]ing awesome, so i'm not going to sit here complaining and fretting and wetting my pants over what might end up happening. We'll all know soon enough when the movie actually comes out, so i'm going to wait until i see the movie before i make my fantasy vendettas against Fox...
JeremyBentham - 3/18/2009, 3:26 PM
If Zach Snyder can change the ending of Watchmen, then I guess Fox can do just about ANYTHING with Wolverine. Maybe they can replace his claws with spaghetti.
warpath15 - 3/18/2009, 3:28 PM
This movie is gonna piss me off, but I'm gonna still see it.
GameAnime45 - 3/18/2009, 5:36 PM
I'd like that power. Nobody wants to be covered in spaghetti. Just change "SNIKT" to "SQUORPF".
BigHeadSarge - 3/18/2009, 5:36 PM
I know it's probably going to blow but I am excited anyway.
Juggernaut - 3/18/2009, 8:18 PM
I want to bring up an interesting fact. In the beginning, we see a child presumably Wolverine growing claws and then stabbing sabertooth....? Wait....the kid is stabbing a fully grown sabertooth? Maybe....just maybe its Draken
KingWill - 3/18/2009, 8:21 PM
Oh don't get me started on the Watchmen ending:P something with the eding just didn't settle with me, everyone of the characters acted completly out of character in the finale, just didn't seem appropriate, almost like it should have ended completely differently, or maybe it's just me.:P
mitchcontrol - 3/18/2009, 9:18 PM
I really hope he turns to the Deadpool we all know and love.. like after the credits or something. Just for the fans sake.
shaneman123 - 3/18/2009, 9:25 PM
Well if anyone has checked out IMDB... it says that Scott Adkins is playing Weapon XI... So maybe before you all get your panties in a twist.. wait and check out the movie...


This is Pockets and I approve this message.

Its how I get through the day
TheSoulEater - 3/19/2009, 12:39 AM
what, no squid? Im boycotting this movie

you won't even care about what they do to deadpool by the time youve bought your large popcorn and coke and are brimming with excitement
aslong as Fox doesnt give him a bunny suit then it'll be ok.

I think they just want people to think hes not a spiderman rip off with the costume, so are giving him a totally different story.
shiverman20 - 3/19/2009, 2:27 AM
somehow i just dont believe it... he didnt seem too confident in his answer
Spada - 3/19/2009, 2:38 AM
......was just thinking, how come no one bitches about Wovlerine not wearing his mask/suit????


Johno - 3/19/2009, 6:06 AM
No one's bitching about the suit cuz its the origins...
And I dont think we can handle the yellow (yet) lol.

I dont know about this movie, but i will see it 2 or 3 times enywaz? i think it should of been a James Hawlett Origin not Wolvrine origins...keep it simple, make Wolvrine the sequel...
NEXUS - 3/19/2009, 6:29 AM
and yes i (f&%#ed) the spelling of his name, sorry 2 all
NEXUS - 3/19/2009, 6:32 AM
Kingwill thats Dog Logan (Sabertooths and probably Wolvies, father) we see young James stabbing.

I think Logan X is the only one who bitches about no costume for Wolverine, the rest of us probably realize that in the last 10 years or so he has gone maskless in more comics than not..and even back in the days of the classic X comics he didnt always suit up..it wasnt like the costume was part of his secret identity like Spiderman or Iron Man. Also Im not sure how i would feel about Hugh Jackman running around in lovely tight yellow spandex! Im sure he would look like a complete tool..some things are better left in the comics
RorMachine - 3/19/2009, 7:11 AM
I really don't think his is going to be the end of the world that Fox has kind of altered the story. They did it with the first 3 x-men movies, should we expect any less from them? Not every x-men comic book written would work as a movie. They have to rework it to make it a more successful movie. I think this going to be an incredible movie, and if the rumored story line about Mr. Sinister is true, I might just have a big O in the theater!
BlackOnyx1 - 3/19/2009, 7:57 AM
I like seeing Wade Wilson as a supporting character, not sure if I like the Weapon XI transformation yet, and i think it would be cool if he turned into the "real" deadpool by the end.

But, I hope this movie doesn't focus too heavily on Deadpool. the movie is freaking called X-men Origins: Wolverine!!! it should be wholly devoted to his character and how he becomes who he is...just as all 3 xmen movies seemed to center primarily on just wolverine, i hope this movie doesnt spend too much time setting up for a possible deadpool spinoff, when wolverine should no doubt be taking full center stage...
JeremyBentham - 3/19/2009, 8:20 AM
I don't care what they do in this movie. I already have my tickets for the first 2 showings on May 1st. I'm just waiting for the tickets for the midnight showing the night before at my local theater. They do that with every comic movie.

@BlackOnyx1: I wrote the Mr. Sinister article that became fervant across the net. Trust me, with all I've found, I will be surprised to not see him in this movie in some shape or form. Just remember he will most likely be introduced as 'Dr. Robert Windsor'
TheMyth - 3/19/2009, 8:32 AM
I wouldnt mind if it turns out to be Deadpools clone Agent X. So technically he IS Deadpool. I hope to god im right. or I swear ill start crying when I finally see the truth on the big screen.
iNsaneMilesy - 3/19/2009, 9:08 PM
I think it'll turn out alright, even if it is not to be what I expected with Deadpool I'll accept it I mean after all it's Marvel and Marvel Kicks A**!!! But speaking of the Beak, I am curious to see what he looks like in the movie...
WebSlinger22 - 3/20/2009, 11:54 AM
I think were screwed no matter what!

In order for everyone's favorite regeneratin' degenerate to get his own spin off, and of course X-men Origins: Magneto, Wolverine has to get it's taint soothed at the box office!

However, in order for that to happen, Fox has to ruin the entire film so that the main stream populous will be "entertained".

When it comes down to it, we have to consider our priorities...Do we want to see the Crimson Comedian bad enough that we're willing to sacrifice the very things that make us want to see him in the first place?!

Then again, Reynolds could have been telling a dirty little fib. If you check the web for pics of the Origins toy line, there's a figure that looks remarkably similar to the weapon XI character shown in the trailer, the box is in fact labled "DeadPool", all this confusion could be over character likeness and be a big misunderstanding.

But it's probably not...FOX!!!!!!!!!!
CrimsonCritic - 3/20/2009, 2:39 PM
Spoiler
Spoiler
SPOILER






In the comics there is no actual character known as Weapon XI (Weapon X for those who don't know is Wolverine). As for this character (the following information may contain spoilers) , apparently the makers of the movie took creative licenses with Deadpool/Wade Wilson's character where seems that Wade Wilson (played by Ryan Reynolds) is the merc with a mouth but he's presented with no actual scars or the Deadpool replica costume known in the comics. During the movie Wade Wilson will undergo some changes in a procedure by William Stryker turning him to a silent killing machine implanting blades in his forearms, giving him laser blazing eyes from Cyclops, the teleportation power of Wraith and of course he would have the healing factor of wolverine/Sabretooth. That's when you witness his form being scared and disfigured being the character Weapon XI (played by Scott Adkins). It was revealed in a thread form Scott Adkins' fansite that he will have the last fight against Wolverine in the movie and that's what we caught a glimpse off in the official trailer where we witness Weapon XI doing a flying spinning kick in the face of Wolverine with blades appearing out from his forearms. According to some inside leaking news, Weapon XI will ruin a huge part of the building or settlement where the last fight happens and so he will suffer severe damage and trauma that his own healing factor can't withstand hence his body will reject all of the implanted mutant parts and he'll be the good O disfigured Deadpool we all know from the comics. A note is that Weapon XI has his mouth sewn and that obviously is because Wade Wilson is the kinda guy who won't ever shut up! So Stryker sew his mouth in the process of the procedure. The markings on Weapon XI's body are the same markings that Wolverine had when they implanted his body with Adamantium and basically the markings will be clear on Weapon XI's body in the fight because Stryker was surprised by Wolverine breaking into the place searching for Sabretooth so he orders to wrap up the procedure as fast as possible.


This is from IMDB where they talk about what is going on with deadpool

Made it last night
