DEADPOOL Star Ryan Reynolds Comments On Marvel's Potential Acquisition Of Fox's X-MEN Characters
Earlier, we found out that there's a chance Disney/Marvel could reacquire the rights to 21st Century Fox's Marvel Comics characters, & Ryan Reynolds is wondering what that means for The Merc with a Mouth.
Tonight brought us the (potentially) huge news that 21st Century Fox is looking to sell the majority of its assets to the Walt Disney Co., which means that there is a chance that all characters associated with The X-Men and The Fantastic Four could come on home to Marvel Studios.
An update to the report indicates that both parties have since ceased negotiations, however, there is still a possibility that talks will reconvene.
One man who seems as surprised by this whole situation as the rest of us is Ryan Reynolds, who plays Wade Wilson in Fox's X-Universe-set Deadpool movies. The actor sent out this humorous Tweet earlier on today:
Well, if - and right now it is a big if - the studios were to come to some sort of deal, hopefully it'll affect The Merc With a Mouth in the most awesome way possible and open up the potential for lots of new character pairings. And yes, it also means Deadpool would have to reign in the f-bombs... among other things.
Again, things aren't necessarily looking good for this to happen any time soon - but then again, many people said the exact same thing before the Sony/Spider-Man deal went through, so you never know!
