RUMOR: Marvel Studios/Disney Behind Deadpool Film Delay?
So what about that planned movie featuring the Merc With A Mouth? Is there more going on behind the scenes than we thought? Well, according to The Daily Superhero there is. Find out more after the jump!
Well this should come as a surprise! According to The Daily Superhero, Marvel Studios/Disney may be the reason behind the ongoing delays of Fox's planned R-Rated flick. Director Tim Miller and Lauren Schuler-Donner have addressed the inevitable delays in the past, ranging from Ryan Reynolds being unavailable to trying to get the studio on board... Well, apparently the latter may very well be true. As usual, the site has asked to take this with a grain of salt. According to their insiders, Marvel and Disney apparently aren't too keen on an R-Rated adaptation of the character and are instead asking for a PG-13 adjustment of the script. The site notes that the reason behind this request is due to the "increased popularity of the character".
What could this mean for the future of Fox's upcoming string of films? We've heard Tim Miller has shot a test-reel and Ryan Reynolds is ready to go, but things sure seem messy behind the scenes. As of right now, we can only wait and see what happens. What do you guys think? Sound off below!
