Ryan Reynolds Reveals More Deadpool Details

Empire Online recently caught up with actor Ryan Reynolds and chatted with him about the upcoming Deadpool movie. The big news is that the very popular Marvel Comics' character would be breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience.

Reynolds stated, "Break the fourth wall? Oh yeah, he's got to. I want to see him break the Great Wall." He says that the film will stick pretty close to the comic book upon which it is based, saying, "The studio's working on a script and trying to find a director. The main goal is to make sure it stays close to the source material." Is he worried about fan reaction to the film? "I'm one of them. I've always been a fan, at least for the last eight or nine years. I feel a bit of validation because I knew going into Wolverine that there's a huge fanbase for this and I don't think anyone else did." The actor had no comment about Deadpool's decapitation at the end of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Deadpool will open in the summer of 2010.

Deadpool is in development and stars Ryan Reynolds.

    I'm a huge Wolverine fan and I can honestly say that Origins was a joke of a movie. Apart from some good casting such as Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool they royally messed up the story. The movie could've been so much darker and better. Practically every comic book I've ever read with Wolverine involves him slicing off limbs or getting really hurt to the point you can't recognize him and re-growing tissue. Shoulda gone with the R rating and made it badass. Deadpool could be great but I agree with Illuminati Fox is just going to mess this one up too despite of how badass Ryan Reynolds wants the character to be. Remember all the interviews with Hugh jackman saying Wolverine was gonna be amazing and we were gonna see the "real" Wolverine...movie turned out being a joke and a whos who of Marvel characters.

    Just cause people (in the movie) theorized that decapitating deadpool wolverine and sabertooth would kill them, doesnt mean its true... they were just taking a shot in the dark on how to kill them. either way look and the post credit endings (multiple endings depending on which print you watched) whether it was the wolverine one in the bar with the cheesy line "No, drinking to remember" or one with deadpools body inching towards his head, his eyes opening and uttering "shh" so obviously he is still alive

    braike the forth wall, that's okay what i nedd to know is that dedpool is very unknown, and that to make this movie apeal to audiences would rewquire a hole year of die hard promoting, becuase this film will need it in order to make the box office of at least no county for old mens gross, so let it be, deapool will flop unless they start pronto with shooting.

    these movies need to go the same direction as The Avengers... instead they're doing the Avengers in reverse: Have all in one film (X-Men/Origins), then make a bunch of spin-offs that make little to no sense in the grand story (as if their story has no connection with the rest of the comic universe). stupid film studios. all they care about is $$ and as a result they spin the snot out of these characters and franchises and instead of making a bunch of intertwined films, they jack up the whole universe. sad.

    OTTLEY!!!!!!!

    However... in the film, this could be wrong it's been awhile since I've seen it, doesn't Stryker say to he wishes he could add his powers to the pool. Wolverine asks what pool, Stryker says The Deadpool. Maybe. Maybe there is more that one. Multiple clone all are in the Deadpool. And somehow eventually only Wade is left. Makeing him Deadpool.

    Okayyyyyy.
    Some i'm guess from now on that words will have to be spelt in caps for it to appear.

    the word 'SCRIPT' has to now be spelt in capitals for some reason i dunno, probably a technical problem with the site, i dunno.

    I agree with Chad, although i know Remy really doesn't like me that much.
    But Chad is right Colonel Stryker calls Weapon XI, Deadpool at one point in the film, when they are discussing it with Wolverine and where that girl comes out and he says it again before they activate him.

    So technically that does f*ck up that theory

    No Chad, i have that same problem as well, i thought it was just me though.

    You can see it from my 1st comment, its just says 'finishing the' when it really should say 'Finishing the SCRIPT'

    Remy: "have to wait and see i guess, but like i said before just cause wolverine said "wade is that you" doesent mean it was."

    Are you suggesting that the Deadpool we saw was merely a clone of Wade? But even if that's the case, they still called this super mutant Deadpool, which f*cks up that theory.

    Helllllll nooooooo, Sam Mendes, no way, and Preacher i doubt that will ever go into production, have you seen the production history, that multiple studios have had trying to adapt it, countless mini-series, series, 2 part film adapts.
    Preacher will never get adapted, unless its done by a hardcore fanatic screenwriter that knows Preacher in and out.
    Also to note Sam Mendes probably hasn't even read the bloody comics of Preacher, in his first interview on it, he had no clue what the production was about and the controversy behind the product that was Preacher.
    Sam Mendes ain't good with sh*t like this

    This will flop, big time, Deadpool, because they f*cked him up with Origins, and well people have lost dramatic faith in this character because he wasn't adapted well and also the fans are still probably pissed off.
    And the simple fact its the same studio that did Origins this decreases their expectations on what this film could have been, if it wasn't for Origins, because they f*cked up Deadpool in the first place.
    And they got some any amateurish screenwriter on Fox Studios writing the , i mean come on man, this just screams flop and failure already.

    Fox ain't good with sourced material adapts, they are good at family film and they should stick to what they know.

    Also to note fairly...
    It was a Fox Studios screenwriter that wrote DBE & Street Fighter: The whackness of Chung Li, and Max Payne.
    I think that says enough about how this film will turn out.

    i already know fox is going to f*ck it up. they don't understand how to make these kind of movies. fox should stop f*cking up a great comic book franchise and let WB or someone else take over.

    "In some copies of the theatrical release, there is a post-credits scene in which Deadpool's hand is seen reaching for his severed head, at which point, he opens his eyes and makes a noise." Answers the question about the f*cking head.

    Marvel (and whatever f*cking studio) ALWAYS rushes. Jon Favreau wanted to go slow in the production of "Iron Man II" but they wouldn't let him. Nothing can be done about it.

    And Sam Mendes is doing "Preacher"

    VIS is right. Fox are f*ckers.

    "The actor had no comment about Deadpool's decapitation at the end of X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Yeah well, either way, they better resolve this issue. I for one am looking forward to Reynolds' return to the character and to see what he can do with him. Wolverine kind of gave him a cameo but I want to see a full-fledged version with the mask and all. Oh and no optic beam blasts either, just swords, regeneration and teleportation. THAT'S IT!! You hear me, FOX??

    i can imagine the scenes of him breaking the fourth wall, is it gonna be in a middle of an intense fight and hell pause the fight and turn to make comments to the audience lol

    yeah der Batman. MARVEL spinoffs never been good. Elektra. That's really all I'm saying. Elektra. Just that. It sooked.

    Listen to dis. Dis is what I'm sayin'. WHAT CONTROL DOES HE HAVE over production. He says it will stick 2 source material. How can make sure?

    Know whhhhha. Marvel I don't think will take enough time. It's being funneled through to rush to get it to the fan base that'll buy it. Release date set already with no director? Release date is next year and tehy don't have a finished OR EVEN A director. NOT ENOUGH TIME. Oh yes, my friends... this will be rushed. It will not be what you want. It might be good, but not up to expectations.

    This guy talks soooooooo much f*cking bullsh*t, he stated in one interview that before he was assigned the character role of Wade Wilson / Deadpool, he never even knew who the character was...

    If it's the studio writing, the i don't wanna f*cking know about this, because let's face it 20th Century Fox can't do anything right at the moment...
    You tell me David Goyer is writing it, i'll be happy to notify this will be epic.

    And how can they even have a release slot done, when they have not even finished the , this takes time, it took Goyer way long to write his version, which was demolished by the events of Wolverine's flick.

    I see this spiralling into production hell
