Deadpool Movie Slated for 2016 Release

You may now call him "The Merc with a Movie."

Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like Fox is finally moving forward with a Deadpool movie! The status of Wade Wilson's solo movie has been up in the air for several years now, but today, Twentieth Century Fox announced that the Merc with a Mouth's movie (say that 10 times fast) is scheduled to open February 12, 2016.

As previously announced, Tim Miller will direct and there's no official word yet on whether Ryan Reynolds will reprise the role. But it seems pretty reasonable to assume he will given the fact he's been passionate about this project for quite some time now. In other Fox/Marvel news, the Fantastic Four reboot has been pushed from June 19, 2015, to August 7.
