This month's April Fool's Day saw Ryan Reynolds recruit Extra's Mario Lopez to stage an interview (and take quite a blow) for the unexpected announcement that Deadpool will definitely be rated-R when it hits theaters early next year. Later during the week, the Canadian actor had reunited with the television host on set of the movie where they had a legit interview about the hilarious prank video and how it came about, among other things. "I know there's a lot of contention online and all over the place about is Deadpool gonna be faithful, is it gonna be rated-R, is it gonna be the way it should be," explained Reynolds of the prank which has nearly 4 million views on Youtube. "So, we thought we would just have a little bit of fun with that idea." Mario Lopez had then thanked Reynolds for his inclusion, before revealing that his knockout ending had to be "toned down" ironcally, as he was expecting the most violent death from the Merc with a Mouth himself. 

Anyhow, principal photography on the highly-anticipated Deadpool is currently underway (and causing a bit of a stir) in Vancouver, Canada, and the Fox/Marvel production will be closing a major viaduct for some critical scenes. Although we've already had a good look at Ryan Reynolds on set with his realistic Wade Wilson scars, some additional set photos have surfaced offering a much better look. Check them out as well as the full-length Extra interview below. What do you think?









Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. Directed by Tim Miller, while starring Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa Carlysle), T.J. Miller (Weasel), with Ed Skrein, and Brianna Hildebrand (Ellie Phimister), the much-hyped Deadpool is scheduled to open in theaters on February 12, 2016.

I can't wait for this movie. I do find it funny how Deadpool has essentially been PG-13 (Teen Rating in comics) for a big part of his existence, but doing it 'R' would be truer to the character. But I guess Rated R will allow for them to get away with a lot more.

cant wait for this, hope it blows everyone out of the water and not only spawns sequels but also makes movie makers turn their heads and give us a bit of a darker marvel universe,deadpool has its R rating, daredevil looks to be pushing boundaries, i expect iron fist to go the same way... now we need a blade reboot, punisher series, taskmaster and it would be nice to see a decent wolverine film go this same way.

I was at Fan Expo Vancouver last night and in the Kaare Andrews vs. Shane Davis sketch duel they suggested they should draw Deadpool since it's being filmed in Vancouver. These are the sketches:

The debate is OVER! DP is R...Yay!!
People who still wonder why the rating was a big deal or think PG-13 would have been fine are morons.
Get educated fools..certain characters demand an R rating.

Deadpool is one of them,he's uses swords,guns,etc. Add his twisted mentality & humor..only R will suffice.
Wolverine has been unjustly stuck in a PG world,his entire existence is adult themed with the sex & violence,he needs R rated material in the movies. Water downed Wolverine is not as cool.

Punisher always comes to mind for R rating because he's a stone cold killer,so is Deadpool,Wolverine & many others in comics.
Hopefully Daredevil on Netflix touches on his dark world,not just because he's blind..there is adult content all over those stories.

As a kid I was well aware that certain comics were not kid friendly..& I loved it and still do.
Make Mine Mature..Make Mine Murderous..Make My Movies Marvelous,don't care what studio does them..do it right!
