No shocking news with this bit of information. We all knew it was coming. We all just sat there and hoped Wolverine would somewhat stay true to its source but unfortunately that was just not the case. So the next question is: What will fox do to Deadpool, if he were to get his own film? Well, those answers are still somewhat unclear. What is clear is that Fox is planning a Deadpool spin off with Ryan Reynolds. At least they are keeping Ryan, he did a great job with what he had to work with in X-Men Origins Wolverine. It wasn't his fault the Writers and Producers muddled everything up. Fox needs to show Deadpool with his mask on. I cannot stress this point enough.
Iron Man which is produced by Marvel had a opening weekend of 98 almost 99 million dollars, Wolverine which is produced by Fox bowed at 87 million. Wolverine was projected to make well over the 100 million mark. Fox is claiming that the Swine Flu and the Internet leak is why the movie under performed. As you can tell from my video review below of X-Men Origins Wolverine that the reason it under performed is because of plot development problems and bad special effects. A part of me wanted this movie to fail so that Fox execs would quit taking such creative liberties and destroying the source material from which it came from. Wolverines success will be measured by how much the movie makes this upcoming weekend when it has to compete with Star Trek, and then Terminator the week after that, my guess is the movies income will fall off sharply. The other part of me wanted it to succeed so that fox wont lock the property up in a vault and throw away the key. But in all seriousness, can we get a good movie from the people at Fox? A movie that is not rushed, one that is well thought out. Fox use to make quality movies but not lately. The answer is hopefully. TDK stayed true enough to the source and look at the numbers that movie put up. Hopefully Deadpool follows the same path and Fox does not horribly alter the source material for The Merck with a Mouth.
