RUMOR: Fox May Be Considering Swapping FANTASTIC FOUR 2 With A DEADPOOL Sequel
It'll probably be months before we can separate fact from fiction. Now, a new rumor has surfaced suggesting the already announced Fantastic Four 2 might be swapped out for Deadpool 2!
Take this news with a huge grain of salt, but The Daily Superhero is reporting that 20th Century Fox may be fast-tracking a sequel to Tim Miller's Deadpool, which stars Ryan Reynolds, and if that wasn't enough, they also suggest that there have been internal discussions regarding possibly swapping out the Fantastic Four sequel, which is already set for a June 9, 2017 release date, with a sequel to Deadpool, a yet-to-be released project they are reportedly very happy with.
It should be reiterated that this is an unconfirmed rumor, but if true, according to Empire & Birth.Movies.Death., a potential Deadpool sequel will more than likely incorporate Cable. Also, if true, this would also mean production on a Deadpool sequel would have to begin not long after its February 12, 2016 release date in order to meet the potential 2017 sequel date.
What do you think about a potentially fast-tracked Deadpool sequel? Who would you like to see play Cable? Sound off with your thoughts below!
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
