IGN catches up with Lauren Shuler-Donner and she talks about the announced Deadpool movie.
IGN caught up with producer Lauren Shuler Donner yesterday at a promotional event for the upcoming Blu-ray release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and asked her about the proposed spin-off film based on the character of Deadpool:
Donner was playing her cards pretty close to the vest, but she did let loose with one tidbit: Deadpool will likely be a reboot of the character from his appearance in "Wolverine."
"We'd kind of reboot it and make it the Deadpool that's in the comics," the producer told us, while adding that Wolverine costar Ryan Reynolds is still set to reprise the role despite his involvement with Warner Bros./DC's Green Lantern film.
"Yes, he would [return for it]," she said. "I'd like to see Deadpool, so we'll see where we are moving forward on that. I'm hoping to make a movie out of Deadpool."
Shuler-Donner also confirmed that the recent Marvel/Disney deal will not affect the status of the X-Men characters being the domain of 20th Century Fox.
"Evidently not," she said. "Evidently they carved out the X-Men world and kept that at Fox, and so we're fine."
I think this would be the best way for a Deadpool movie to go. Just do a Deadpool movie without the constraints of the "Origins" continuity, but have a few flashbacks (not many) to establish who he is as a character.
What do you guys think?
Also, just one little note: I would like to see David Fincher direct a Deadpool movie. Just a personal opinion. Or Robert Rodriguez would be good, with David Goyer writing.
