  • According to Yahoo! News:

    "Following the monster weekend for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and a day after announcing that a Hugh Jackman-powered sequel is in the works, 20th Century Fox has confirmed to E! News that Jackman's costar Ryan Reynolds will be given his own spinoff and potential franchise-launcher as the Marvel Comics antihero Deadpool.

    The 32-year-old Canadian actor, otherwise known as Mr. Scarlett Johansson, will again star as Wade Wilson, a wisecracking, cancer-stricken mercenary who's cured of the disease after undergoing the same Weapon X genetic alteration as Wolverine.

    But along with superhuman powers, enhanced strength and self-regenerating healing powers, the slightly unhinged Deadpool can absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants.

    Aside from Deadpool and the Wolverine sequel, Fox is also working on an X-Men spinoff focusing on Ian McKellen's villainous Magneto and another dubbed X-Men: First Class, which is being written by The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz."

  • Sounds great with a Deadpool movie. I would go see it but...

    Deadpool can absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants.

    What is that all about?
    Not collecting any more but I still enjoy comics now and then...

    Awesome

    Sounds Good

    But along with superhuman powers, enhanced strength and self-regenerating healing powers, the slightly unhinged Deadpool can absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants.

    Huh What The ......

    For anyone who say the bit after the credits of the Wolverine movie (which was pretty craptacular) how are they going to transition from that into this.

  • i wanted to see a deadpool movie before i saw wolverine. im not so sure i want to see one now with all his powers and such. if i were not a comic fan i dont think the person i saw in the wolverine movie would make a good stand alone movie. i know he is getting alot of attention in the comic world with his on going and mini series but in the movie world alone i just dont see him with any pull to get people to see a movie. lets face it all the things that make him a kool charicter were not shown in the movie much. i'll probly still go and see it as i always go see all the comic movies but that doesnt mean i agree with the direction they are going.
