When 2016's Deadpool hit theaters it was a resounding success becoming the highest-grossing film in the X-Men franchise as well as the highest-grossing R-Rated movie of all time. It was no surprise then when FX announced they would be capitalizing on the character's popularity with an animated series from Atlanta creator Donald Glover.
What was surprising, however, was when it was announced that the show wouldn't be going to series, with FX citing "creative differences" between themselves and the Solo: A Star Wars Story star. Many were understandably disappointed at this turn of events, including it seems Ryan Reynolds himself.
In a new interview with The New York Times, while promoting the upcoming Deadpool 2, the actor was asked about the canceled animated series with Reynolds calling Glover a "genius" before saying that he "would've loved to have seen what he did with that".
Not unlike Tim Miller's original Deadpool film test footage from the FX show did leak some time ago to positive response, and though most places have taken it down, I'm sure those who are eager to get a sense of just what Glover would have done with the show will be able to find it.
Deadpool 2 will hit theaters 18th May 2018
