Deadpool has been in development for years and a lot of fans are wondering if the film ever going to happen. At a press junket for
Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds talked about his love for the character and explained that the film is
STILL in development.
Said Reynolds: "Growing up, I read a bit of X-Men stuff and I loved Deadpool. You know, my brother introduced me to Deadpool and that was a character I loved, but beyond that I didn't know that much about comics. Those are the ones I kind of stuck to."
"Deadpool is a character that I love and I got a great opportunity to play him in more of ancillary sense in a film, which was great because it allowed me to jump in and play him, but then not be committed to too much beyond that. But I do have that film that's in development still, so we'll see what happens with that."
Reynolds went on to say that playing Deadpool was a privilege, and that playing Green Lantern was the role of a life time, saying "
For the most part, Green Lantern's the first kind of iconic superhero role that I've ever had the great opportunity to play. I'm pretty damn grateful for that." Catch Reynolds in
Green Lantern on June 17, 2011.
