Rob Liefeld Compares DEADPOOL 2 To ALIENS And Promises Significantly More Action
It was clear from our first proper look at Deadpool 2 that the ante is going to be upped in terms of action and now creator Rob Liefeld has weighed in on just how much bigger the sequel is going to be.
The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld following the release of the first trailer for the sequel and it definitely sounds like we should be excited about what's to come this May.
The comic book writer and artist compares Deadpool 2 with Aliens, the second film in the Alien franchise which is widely considered the best one and a huge improvement over its predecessor. It also sounds like we should expect a lot more action in the sequel, something which makes sense considering the fact that Fox no doubt gave Ryan Reynolds and company had more money to play with.
"Deadpool was Alien. It’s brilliant. It completely works. It’s a masterpiece," Liefeld says. "Deadpool 2 is Aliens. It’s when James Cameron came in and said, ‘OK you want me to do this? We’re going to make it bigger, put in loads more action.’" So, the movie sounds pretty damn awesome then.
That was to be expected after watching the trailer and it's going to be interesting seeing if making Deadpool 2 bigger can indeed help it top the first instalment. What do you think? Sound off below.
