I love those writers, Zombieland was awesome, and so was the Deadpool script.
I have complete faith in them for this.

"Why Disney?" is right. A movie like this doesn't sound like a family friendly movie.

zombieland writers have done a fantastic job on the deadpool script & i can't wait for zombieland 2.

i've got no problem with them adapting the script they'll do a great job of this to,but like most of you why ? disney.

i'd rather disney concertrated on marvel stuff let someone else make this.

if disney have got the rights,then so be it let them make it.

but their is plenty of marvel characters they could be making into movies.

Disney makes a shit ton of movies a year adding one to the list wont kill any chances of MARVEL movies being made. Also Disney has multiple production companies and studios under their ownership that they will most likely hand it down to them. Plus I would also like them to focus on many different comics and graphic novels because I like the slow but sure pace Marvel has going on right now, sure we are approaching the prime of CBMs but that doesn't mean more cant follow a few years after.

Interesting choice for them to make, considering everything out there in the Marvel and Image catalogs. Sounds like a cool premise, though.
