Hours after it was confirmed - again - that the Deadpool sequel is happening, Fox has released the full video of the panel they held earlier this week to promote the release of the movie on DVD and Blu-ray, and it makes for fun viewing. Talking about the fact that Deadpool wasn't released in China (they basically banned it), Ryan Reynolds said, "I have this joke: It is rated R in America and rated 'F— you' in China." Ha! I think it's fair to say we won't see the sequel release there either then.
With a global haul of $754 million, it's easy to imagine that being closer to $1 billion had it reached The Middle Kingdom, and chances are that Fox will dramatically increase the budget for the follow-up. After all, the actor claims that they were only given "$47 and a bag of skittles" to make this first instalment! Be sure to watch the whole thing as it also features Tim Miller, Ed Skrein, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and Simon Kinberg, and is moderated by Salt-N-Pepa and DJ Spinderella (seriously).
