    It almost seems perfect that Ryan Reynolds is playing Deadpool since he seems to be talking quite a bit about him lately.  Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Reynolds and I'm glad he wants to do the character justice this time around.  In another interview with MTV, he seems to have more actual control in how the character will be portrayed in his solo movie (so far).
    I love it, because I get to be involved.  And I’m such a huge fan of the character.
    How is the movie progressing?  Well, it turns out there isn't even a director or writer yet.  The good news is it seems that Reynolds and the studio are working together to put this together.
    I get to be the authentication police, in a weird way.  To their credit — the studio’s credit — they want to make an authentic ‘Deadpool’ movie; they want to make it as close to the source material as possible. 

    He’s going to be the Merc with the Mouth, [we’re going to give] all those answers that everyone wants.  He’s going to have the scarred-up face, he’s going to be in the suit — and, it’s going to be incredible.

    Do you feel this project is in safe hands so far?  My concern is how much control will Reynolds retain once the writer(s) and director are chosen.  Will they still honor his wishes?  From the sounds of it, us comic book fans may be getting what we want.  Will something like that appeal to the non-comic book readers?  Will they accept a movie where the character breaks the fourth wall?  Will they find his constant yammering annoying?  A lot could be riding on this.  This could determine how successful a movie can be that isn't based on a character that everyone is familiar with.  Sure, Deadpool appeared in Wolverine but it's best if people just forget all about that.

    Hey as long as they stick to the actual character, then it's all good.  I am curious as to who they will have as a villain and who the other major characters will be.  Reynolds seems to want the character to stay true to the origins so I think it's in safe hands.  As for the fourth wall thing, they have got to do that right otherwise non-comic fans will be very confused.

    The Deadpool character could not be played by a better person than Ryan Reynolds he was made for the part..  If they mess this up I will never watch another Marvel movie not made by Marvel studios, Wolverine was a disgrace even the cartoon Wolverine kicks way more ass than  the film version I wouldn't even mind a Wolverine reboot with the character brought straight from the comics.

    If there isn't a writer yet, then how just what is there for Reynolds to have control over?  It's just hype.  I'm sure he'll do a good job when there's something to actually work on.

    Only 2 question
    1'st - Ain't this Scott Adkins who play Deadpool (or "Weapon XI")? Coz how I remember Reynolds act only as mercenary Wide Wilson who was use for creation Pool.

    2'nd - Ain't Deadpool lost his head? Or it's just nothing - sh*t happens?

    1, Scott Adkins did the acrobatics & stunts as Weapon XI, but it wont be a Weapon XI movie... So when Deadpool starts talking, it'll be Reynolds under the laytex scarring.

    2, Search Deadpool Wolverine Origins Ending on YouTube.  SPOILER if you haven't seen that already... his head is still alive, and his body is reaching for it.  With his healing factor, he could probably just re-attach his head and walk away from 'the island'.

    While I didn't see Wolverine:Origins, I would see a Deadpool movie with Reynolds and I sincerely hope he gets his wish....and fulfills the wishes of so many fans if he is able to do a Deadpool movie that is true to the source.  Humor and super hero action together....sign me up, sparky.

    I don't even need a fourth wall breaking. I would be completely fine without it, and ir might be a bit complicated and come off as cheesy. I didn't even expect the suit, because movies change the costume so often. I suppose that if they could give Spawn the same costume, they could do it for Deadpool.

    Don't get me wrong, I want the comicpool in a movie, but I do have one concern. If they make his face all messed up and give him his "mouth back" and take away all that healing power, and teleportation and everything, then wouldn't that cause a huge inconsistancy in the movie world? It seams inconsistant. We can't have him being this Stryker weapon one second and then just be normal Deadpool the next. This is a little concerning. I don't want it to be inconsistant, but I do want it to be comicpool. If they do this, they'll need to find a good reason to justify all of these changes.

    this is what is was thinking also. As long as he gets a fair say in who is going to write it is the main thing. The director isnt as much i think bc if ur trying to tell a story than the main priority will always be the writing. The angles and stuff is important as well but whether the story will be true to the character is up to the writer.

    Im glad ryan reynolds is in it. I think he is a great actor and hilarious.

    Say WHAAAAAAT?!?!  With an R-rating, it'll still do just as well as Wolverine.  Think about it, when have you ever seen a pre-production of a Marvel movie to where the lead actor has studied the character and KNOWS that if you stick to the basics, the film will be a success all around.  I'm really looking forward to this.  My question is: How long will we wait?  2011?  2012?

    Would Marvel do an R-rated movie?  I thought after Punisher Warzone, Marvel said they were backing away from the R-rated movies.  Heck, even today's "horror" movies shy away from the R rating.  What's going on?  Guess the studios are tired of all the kids buying tickets for the family movies and then sneaking into theirs.

    I certainly hope they just make this part of a separate universe, Which kind of sucks because it would be could to see characters like Deadpool and Wolverine interact how they are supposed to, or like maybe even Daredevil and Spiderman but unless Marvel gets the rights back I don't see that happening.

    Deadpool is such a hot commodity right now and I dont think Fox even knows it. So its really to their advantage to make this movie happen and happen correctly.

    What you have with a Deadpool movie is a functional marriage of comedy and action. To my surprise they hit the nail on the head with Reynolds in casting, so all they need to do now is steal some memorable antics/lines from the best of the best of Wade's comics, match up a story and the trailer'll sell itself.

    Following all the criticism of the "Deadpool" portrayal in the Wolverine movie they surely won't be dumb enough to do anything but follow the comics loyally.  Sounds like its moving in the right direction and Reynolds has the comic timing to make it a mainstream crowd pleaser.  I think the fourth wall thing could really work in the films favour, with so many comic book films around it could be a refreshing change for the mainstream crowd (if executed in the right way, as Stealthfart mentioned).  It all hinges on the script I guess.

    Im really looking forward to a Deadpool movie myself. But I would not mind if they continud it on from his Weapon XI character. They could say he lost the ability to shoot Cyclops Optic Blasts from the head severtion, and since he is still ugly they chould give him the mask. But honestly I dont care either way, Ryan Reynolds is a damn good choice for Deadpool.

    Wolverine did well because we already know about him from the first 3 X-Men Movies .... If Deadpool in the Origins movie was more explained and had a bigger part, then I think it would do better. But since he's not very mainstream, and hasn't featured in the movies, animated series etc  ...

    Well as far as breaking the 4th wall, there have been movies that have done that in the past. One big hit was Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Matthew Broderick broke the 4th wall throughout and even after the film. Another is Airplane, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, several Mel Brooks movies, and The Muppet Movie to name a few. It's common in tv land as well. Mark-Paul Gosselaar's "Zack Morris" did it nearly every episode during the earlier seasons of Saved by the Bell, Zack Braff's "J.D." narrates to the audience every episode. Hell, even Neil Patrick Harris did it at the end of every episode of Doogie Howser, M.D. So, Deadpool (Reynolds) breaking the 4th wall in his own movie would not be out of the ordinary.
