Ryan Reynolds Confirms HUGE New Facts About the Deadpool Movie Spin-Off!

From costumes to scars, Reynolds has exclusively told MTV that Deadpool will indeed be the Merc with the Mouth that we all know and love...
This from an exclusive story on MTV's Splash Page:-

“I love it, because I get to be involved,” Reynolds said of his role in the spin-off film. “And I’m such a huge fan of the character. I get to be the authentication police, in a weird way,” said Reynolds "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.”

The actor also told MTV that he and the studio have already agreed to some key terms. “He’s going to be the Merc with the Mouth, we’re going to give all those answers that everyone wants,” Reynolds explained. “He’s going to have the scarred-up face, he’s going to be in the suit — and, it’s going to be incredible. Right now, it’s just a question of trying to figure out what is the spine of the story,”.



Ryan said of their current discussions. “Who is the villain? What does Wade and/or Deadpool want? And how do you tell that story? Are we going to see flashbacks to his old life, flash-forwards, present-day?We’re just trying to figure that stuff out.”

Why comment on your own article? Just add it in.

Other than that, sounds good.
TucsonRican - 6/11/2009, 6:08 PM
why not comment on my own artice? i doubt that anyone who wanted to read about what reynolds was saying wanted my opinion stuffed into every other paragraph, lol! are you just pissed that you werent "first!"? ;-)
joshw24 - 6/11/2009, 6:19 PM
@TusconRican
He commented because he wasn't doing an opinion or editorial piece. He was reporting something. And he's right. I don't want to see somebody's opinion when reading an article like this. That's what the comments section is for.

alten2345 - 6/11/2009, 6:26 PM
thank god for ryan reynolds
tyko450 - 6/11/2009, 6:33 PM
I cant wait to see what the suit looks like on the screen. This is gonna be awesome.
longbowhunter - 6/11/2009, 6:58 PM
cool i can't wait for his :teleporting powers, opticblasts, the katanas on his hands, healing factor, adamantium bones, skills in slicing and reflacting bullets and my favorite saying his one-liner jokes.
rockingrich1webb - 6/11/2009, 6:59 PM
Yes...Ryan Reynolds is the perfect fit for what could be the perfect movie....I have a feeling that this is really gonna surpass XMO:W...can't wait

I'm really glad to see that Reynolds is taking to his Deadpool character so well, much like Jackman did for Wolvy...has alot of potential...

tyko @ your right...thank god for reynolds

SOME ACTORS WERE BORN TO PLAY ROLES..I HOPE THAT THEY PUT IN THE WHITE EYEPEICES, THEY DID IT FOR SPIDERMAN, THEY CAN DO IT FOR DEADPOOL...AND ID LOVE TO SEE THAT KINDA COSTUME THAT HAS THE MOLDED MUSCULATURE, THE FLASH COSTUME FROM THE OLD TV SERIES WAS PRETTY COOL, PLEASE RYAN REYNOLDS MAKE OUR DEADPOOL, THE FANS DEADPOOL REAL..
GUNSMITH - 6/11/2009, 7:11 PM
Good stuff.
Shadowelfz - 6/11/2009, 7:12 PM
I wish they would do an X-Force spinoff, or do a Cable movie but it would be pretty difficult to do them right.
Legendary - 6/11/2009, 7:15 PM
Yo LEE, look on the Megan Fox cgi article. Use it if you wants.
Betty - 6/11/2009, 7:15 PM

this is some good news.
Michael Galusick - 6/11/2009, 9:11 PM
BETTY @ Cheers bud! I will!!! ; )

SPOOOOOOOOOON!
LEEE777 - 6/11/2009, 9:46 PM
Deadpool is a very cool character, but if Fox has discovered religion and will make a proper Deadpool flick, then they should do a proper Wolvie flick as well. The Yakuza, the Hand and the Silver Samurai with top notch fighting choreography. Sickness!!!!!!
Cheesey1 - 6/11/2009, 9:51 PM
BETTY @ Ive just been on the MEGAN FOX one it ain't there???

Yeah Cheesey @ That's what ive been saying, WOLVIE 2 in Japan wiv them lot! I wont hold my breath though lol! Damn FOX, : D

Hey they ain't all bad, they did a good PRISON BREAK recently an stuff, its just the movies they cant get right???
LEEE777 - 6/11/2009, 9:53 PM

007440 - 6/11/2009, 10:44 PM
man before we were like "GO HUGH!","I'M FOR HUGH!" etc. etc. and now were like "THANK GOD FOR RYAN!!!"
rockingrich1webb - 6/11/2009, 11:37 PM
This is great news! It pays to cast a person who actually cares about the source material.
ironknight27 - 6/11/2009, 11:40 PM
cant wait cos deadpool rocks!!! also they couldnt have picked a better actor than ryan reynolds, since i saw him in blade 3, i allways thought to myself, hed make an awesome deadpool...
danialj84 - 6/12/2009, 12:11 AM
Reynolds comes across like a pretty cool guy, I mean, whoever thought that a guy who is so openly into comics and is thrilled to be the "Authentication Police" on a comic book movie, would be the same lucky b@stard that crawls into bed with Scarlett Johansen(however you spell her last name)...I guess there's hope for us all!!
TheDurkinKnight - 6/12/2009, 1:06 AM
[frick] YEA! RYAN your the man!

I know this is said about many comic movies, but I hope they give it an R rating and a hard R at that. They need to keep it sick twisted and funny as hell. No censoring Deadpool just let the Merc's mouth run all day.
VenomIsOnMyRibs - 6/12/2009, 1:06 AM
Hey i know im new here and everyone is into the whole Deadpool thing , but i just see him as a B list character who the general public know shit about! That spells bad news for any of Reynolds ideads actualy coming through. Fox will wimp out
Im for Van-Deadpool Party Liaison
teabag - 6/12/2009, 1:34 AM
I know i should complain about my previous comment being erased again! buuuuuuuuuuttttthe i would sound like Ryan one of my favorite actors before this wholeverine Shibaclez that i would say anything too just to make sure that it is not as horrible and yes i spelled it wrong just to make it ugley ..... yes that whole thing was A Pauling and i want to make it work but it doesn't matter cuz Fox is the Icing to my cake REYNOLDS :)

Well me and my6 w3oman goin to dr4ive up that long and dented road and drink us up a bottles of couple red wine and lay down in an orchard in our nicest clothes and sleep till the dawns 1st light....she'll forgive my trangressions and i'll forgive her mind, its as simple as the grass on the grove.


38th BitchAzz eqaulzz !!! Infinity..... Check out my ol' friend James Finch Jr. for some serious lyrics or writing
shibazz - 6/12/2009, 1:40 AM
TucsonRican - "Why comment on your own article?" Same reason a man touches his own penis - sometimes it just feels good to do it! Although when I comment on someone elses article I don't get beaten up! So it differs in that way!

Indeed, this movie will rock if this comes to light.
Howlett04 - 6/12/2009, 2:03 AM
"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.”

I've heard that bag of bullshit before. They should just stop saying that so they can spare us the breath of calling them out on the lie later on.

The only time FOX can stay close to the source material is when they're wiping their asses with it.


WeaponX - 6/12/2009, 2:30 AM
fox sucks the big one, the first two xmen were good but anything else is crap. fox have no idea of a good story, fantastic four = crap
daredevil = crap
xmen last stand = crap

let marvel have the rights back so hopefully they can reboot the franchises and give us something that can at least stick to the original source. after xmen wolverine i have no faith in fox anymore
nicholls805 - 6/12/2009, 2:39 AM
,
nicholls805 - 6/12/2009, 2:39 AM
nevertheless fox still owns this joint, i wouldnt get my hopes up, just to see em crash and burn,not after wolverine, that movie had soo much potential, look what people at fox did with it, they murdered that franchise, the same can be said about terminator salvation,as long as the people who are calling the shots are [frick]ed up in the head, no matter how much money you throw at the project,it still gonna stink, and there aint a damn thing reynolds and jackman can do about it,look what jj abrams did with star trek, he took a bunch of no name actors, and turned it into possibly the best summer movie of this year,and i wont be surprised if transformers doesnt reach that level of movie making, well leaving the special effects aside.
realblood33 - 6/12/2009, 2:48 AM
I think I may need to change my underwear...yep.
iNsaneMilesy - 6/12/2009, 2:53 AM
I see another HITMAN coming on , but with lycra
teabag - 6/12/2009, 3:18 AM
I'm sure i remember Hugh Jackman saying something similar about X-men Origins: Wolverine...
BizzaroMike - 6/12/2009, 3:47 AM
BizzaroMike - I think every actor from every comic adaptation has said something similar! So at this stage it means nothing. We can only hope that Ryan is as stubborn as he is passionate about getting it right.
Howlett04 - 6/12/2009, 4:38 AM
If he is stubborn they will re-cast. We can just hope that he does a great job with the bones they throw at him.
teabag - 6/12/2009, 4:53 AM
Cool.
Bandrews1 - 6/12/2009, 5:34 AM
Cool.
Bandrews1 - 6/12/2009, 5:34 AM
They should have Deadpool show up in Wolverine 2 to build more interest in him. He could just show up as an assassin who's been hired to kill Logan. They could spar for a few minutes and then Deadpool could make some lame excuse to not kill Logan and then just leave.
IronDean2099 - 6/12/2009, 6:12 AM
I'll believe it when I see it. I'm sipping on too much haterade this morning.
icebergslick - 6/12/2009, 6:13 AM
I'm with Howlett, it doesn't mean shit until we see it for ourselves. I just hope they don't pull another Blade Trinity on this and basically say that the story doesn't need to be good or make sense as long as we have a lean mean joke toatin killin machine as main character. And judging from his origins, they're way off on the wrong foot to start from. But we'll see when it comes out :)
Shaman - 6/12/2009, 6:50 AM
SHAMAN @ BLADE TRINITY WAS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THAT PIECE OF SH!TE FOX MOVIE CALLED BORVERINE!!!

Geez, i'll believe it when i see it when im watching it sitting down at the cinema! An i for one will never pay to watch a FOX Superhero movie ever again if it turn out like WOLVERINE!

Heres hoping! Well theres always hope lol!


LEEE777 - 6/12/2009, 7:55 AM
Question why doesn't Marvel own the rights to make this movie or any other "Marvel" comic book movie? Seems to me if they wanted to be a major movie company, like they say they want to be, they would want to make all their own movies.
Kratos6 - 6/12/2009, 7:57 AM
now honestly... and i'm sure i may get crusified for this... but i'm glad that fox is making deadpool... hear me out... it dosn't matter how much reynolds sticks to his guns liberties will be taken... but i think that it could be benificial... for the deadpool fans look at the hell house days... fox will replace pools regular drinking buddies with characters like rhino, bullseye, and taskmaster... and that could shape up for one hell of a sequel
Birdman - 6/12/2009, 7:59 AM
Hells yeah.
DarkAvengers - 6/12/2009, 8:33 AM
LEEE- Trinity isn't ten times better than... ANYTHING!!!

Kratos6- Marvel doesn't own the rights to those characters because they sold them. They'd love to get them back but Fox won't ever let go of they're cash cow.
Shaman - 6/12/2009, 8:35 AM
The people who wanted Triple H to play Thor should be forced to watch his scenes in Trinity for a thousand lifetimes as punishment!
joshw24 - 6/12/2009, 8:45 AM
joshw24- Took the words right out of my mouth!!!
Shaman - 6/12/2009, 8:56 AM
@ LEEE
Hate to tell you, but Wolverine is not the worst comic movie made. Hell, it's not even the worst Marvel comic movie made.

That goes to the steaming pile of monkey turds that was Punshier War Zone. Ugh.
TucsonRican - 6/12/2009, 8:59 AM
I have no faith in this movie. They already F'd up the character. I'll have to see it to change my opinion. I have no faith in fox when it comes to marvel.
mativ16 - 6/12/2009, 9:06 AM
Man....
I was this close to buying the Punshier War Zone DVD...but a chick at work said it was a pile of shit also...

So i put it down...

So question to you guys/gals...
Do anyone think its worth seeing/buying the dvd?

I like the first one...

On topic related stuff:

I hope they pull out the suit...i mean I wish logan would have some kind of suit also...it's 2009...you can make a realistic suit nowadays...
Dark Knights newest lightweight suit is one of the best comic to movie suits i've seen. It looks as though it can work.

vonstallin - 6/12/2009, 9:12 AM
Screw ryan r. megan fox for Deadpool!
valeriesghost - 6/12/2009, 9:15 AM
vonstallin- From what i saw, it's utter shit but people on here are 50/50 on it. Some loved the hell out of it.
Shaman - 6/12/2009, 9:19 AM
VONSTALLIN-

I too liked the first one, aside from the corny scene with his wife on the beach (that dialog was HORRIBLE), it was a great adaptation IMO.

WARZONE, however is an entirely different story, crap development, crap storyline, crap plot, and crap villians (although the make-up was ok). They were trying too hard and ended up with, well........just all around crap.

Download it first before you commit to the DVD purchase.
Talontd - 6/12/2009, 9:34 AM
punisher war zone isnt out in the uk until june 22nd...i was gonna buy it on blu ray but is it really THAT bad?
joshw24 - 6/12/2009, 9:44 AM
i just watched the trailer and i guess it really does look THAT bad!
joshw24 - 6/12/2009, 9:58 AM
yes bad really bad
bamofoo - 6/12/2009, 10:04 AM
Well, this is definitely the kind of news I want to hear. I have to be honest, I'm a little bit more at ease knowing Ryan Reynolds is such a fan and staying on top of the situation. Let's just hope it pays off.
PlaidRocker - 6/12/2009, 10:48 AM
can not wait for this!
NightAvenger4 - 6/12/2009, 10:49 AM
That's an interesting comparison Wolvie Vs. Blade Trinity. I think they both had flaws, but Blade Trinity was definitely more disappointing, all because of goyer's egotistical changes to a formula that worked and the fact that he has no idea how to direct. I really resent goyer for spoiling a great franchise. Punisher War Zone was horrible, very gruesome, but horrible. Lexi Alexander and the writer(s) did a horrible job. The Thomas Jane / Jonathan Hensleigh Punisher was much, much better. Hopefully Lionsgate will let the rights lapse, 'cause I know that Marvel can really do Frankie C justice. The only problem is that Marvel Studios says they will only do PG-13 stuff, but the solution to that is just make it under the Marvel Knights studio or create a MAX studio label.
Cheesey1 - 6/12/2009, 11:00 AM
Cheesey1- Nicely said!!! Aren't you glad he won't direct Magneto? I sure as hell am. That's an excuse less Fox doesn't have to screw up Magneto! IMO, it will still suck though. And i don't know why people are treating they're Jane/Punisher copy like a moment of weakness! It was a great film! It should never be compared as having had a child with a thailand hooker!!!
Shaman - 6/12/2009, 11:30 AM
If Reynolds can get FOX not not F**** this up then he is a god
Osiris - 6/12/2009, 11:45 AM
The question is... how do they rope it all together with what they set up in X-MEN ORIGINS: Wolverine?
gerant - 6/12/2009, 11:47 AM
optimism is unfounded
SoulAllFlush - 6/12/2009, 11:53 AM
Shaman- i agree with you about the tom jane punisher. I loved that movie even with the liberties they took.
ironknight27 - 6/12/2009, 11:55 AM
I'm still pissed they screwed Jane over for Warzone!
Shaman - 6/12/2009, 12:12 PM
SHAMAN & CHEESEY1

Yea, the way they treated Jane was kinda messed up, but I have the feeling he would've ended up walkin on it once he read the script anyway....

Speaking of the abomination (<----lil strong?) that was Blade Trinity, I remember reading that Wesley Snipes tried to walk from that because of the script, but they threatened to sue the crap outta him because it would've been a breach of contract...

...that's what makes me worry about the Deadpool film, Ryan can say what he wants, but unless he's got a contract like Edward Norton (unlikely), once he signs the dotted line all of his "opinions" about sticking to the source won't be worth jack.
Talontd - 6/12/2009, 12:28 PM
I think it was pretty shitty that as soon as Tom dropped out then magically a script was done and a director was attached.
ironknight27 - 6/12/2009, 12:29 PM
Actually, i heard Jane read the script and felt it sucked! That's how i mean he got screwed, cause he had worked hard on a persona that was totally disregarded in Warzone's script.

Talontd- I didn't even know that about Snipes. God, contracts suck!!! An actor should never have the right to sign for something he hasn't read yet! And just knowing this little info, makes me hate the [frick] out of Goyer even more!!!
Shaman - 6/12/2009, 12:46 PM
Well, I gusss I can LimeWire it. or just buy a cheap used copy off Amazon.com.

I swear...Comic movies is not rocket science... so much free material to work with. Years uppon years of story lines to just pluck out of a book. Yet 75% no 85% of comic movies are "The Suck".

vonstallin - 6/12/2009, 2:09 PM
what kind of contract does Norton get? the kind where Marvel cuts 40 minutes of his movie and pisses him off so much that he does zero publicity for the film? that kind of contract?
Keven - 6/12/2009, 2:13 PM
i love reynolds' devotion to the character. he just better be careful though, because with a statement like that, he's the one that will be blamed if the movie sucks
JeremyBentham - 6/12/2009, 2:24 PM
...oh, aside from Fox, of course. even if the movie turns out great, Fox will be blamed for something
JeremyBentham - 6/12/2009, 2:25 PM
Hahaha, I'm proud of you all! I didn't see one comment about Deadpool's mask.
BmanHall - 6/12/2009, 3:12 PM
Deadpool's mask
Osiris - 6/12/2009, 3:38 PM
"Aaaaaaand the winner is: Osiris!"

Tell him what he's won, Bman! lol
adamant877 - 6/12/2009, 3:40 PM
omg omg I have never won anything....... this is so exciting....lmao
Osiris - 6/12/2009, 4:55 PM
"shhhh! My common sense is tingling!"
Deadpool is by far my favorite Marvel character, it's about time they give him the respect he deserves. I mean you don't come across such refined and model hero's like Deadpool anymore.

kazmir - 6/12/2009, 8:07 PM
Good for Reynolds! Hopefully he'll stick to his guns (no pun intended) and not let the Fox water down his character like the did with Jackmans' Wolverine! Don't be a puss Ryan! Fight for what's right!
loganoneil - 6/12/2009, 8:52 PM
Shaman and Talontd, thanks. I hope you're right that goyer won't be directing Magneto.
Cheesey1 - 6/12/2009, 8:55 PM
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Please no Goyer near anything to do with X-Men!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
TheMyth - 6/12/2009, 11:44 PM
Wow, am I the only person here that loved Punisher Warzone.

Don't get me wrong I thought the first one was OK, but it was a little too "disney" for me.
Punisher is supposed to be a bad-ass and his movie needs to be harsh, bloody, and gory.
I though Ray Stevenson did a fantastic job.
Ray is a fantastic actor. The series Rome would not have been nearly as good without him as Titus Pullo.

While I like Thomas Jane as an actor Ray's Punisher would beat the shit out of Jane's.

- just my opinion for what its worth -
CockKnocker - 6/13/2009, 2:45 AM
@CockKnocker@ I liked Warzone the story wasn't as good as Jane's film but the gore and Ray's portrayal as Frank was also better if the two movies could be one then that would have been the perfect Punisher movie.

BTW Mark Hamel as Cock Knocker ha to be one of the best parts of that S+J Strike Back, that was such a funny scene the whole movie was funny but I just really like that scene.
Osiris - 6/13/2009, 9:59 AM
Well i for one enjoy seeing ANY character have a human side to them. Jane was PERFECT in that sense cause at the end, he really didn't care who he killed. He wasn't bang bang crazy, instead he was more tactical and i prefer that. If i wanted some bang bang crazy nut job, i'd watch Warzone... uh... wait... huh? LOL :P
Shaman - 6/13/2009, 3:50 PM
deadpool whoo!
Canon - 6/14/2009, 3:06 AM
Osiris -- I agree, the idea of a villain that goes around punching people in the crotch. Too funny.
CockKnocker - 6/14/2009, 7:05 AM
I think that they should put cable in the movie. I also REALLY wanna see Gerard Butler playing him. After seeing the trailer for Gamer I am convinced that he would play a great Cable
spidermandk77 - 6/15/2009, 11:43 AM
I believe Reynolds is gonna do a good job bringing Deadpool to life. I've seen him act in Blade Trinity and other movies he had some funny one-liners in there and he can played it out pretty good. He's gonna surpass alot of peoples expectations.
IronEd75 - 6/15/2009, 3:55 PM
HE WAS GREAT IN WOLVERINE CANT WAIT FOR HIM TO CUT LOOSE IN THE MOVIE

10THTIGER - 6/18/2009, 12:20 AM

i think doctor strange should be the villain in this movie !
Raj36 - 9/6/2009, 8:47 PM
thats ridiculous
munknight54 - 9/23/2009, 1:28 AM
