Disney executive Alan Horn assured Deadpool fans at CinemaCon that the Merc with a Mouth will have a future on the big screen while living in the House of Mouse.
"You'll be seeing more of Deadpool in the years ahead," said Horn, the chairman of Walt Disney Studios. His comment essentially echoes that of Disney CEO Bob Iger who also previously confirmed that Deadpool will continue to be his R-rated self.
As reported by Comicbook.com, Horn's comments were made while standing against a backdrop of one of Ryan Reynolds' tweets. When Disney officially took control of Fox's assets, the Deadpool star took to social media to share a photo of himself in costume with Mickey Mouse ears on while on a yellow school bus. One could interpret the backdrop of Horn's comments to mean that Disney plans to keep Ryan Reynolds on board as the titular anti-hero.
The old saying "If it it ain't broke, don't fix it," comes to mind when thinking of Disney and Deadpool joining forces. The first two installments made over $1.5 billion at the box office, so clearly there's incentive in sticking with what works.
