So now that we all know that the Barraka bladed freak at the end of Wolverine is actually a mouth stitched up Deadpool! How on earth could a solo adventure for the "Merc with a mouth" work? Ryan Reynolds has some suggestions..
I’m thinking musical — Rated ‘R’ musical,” Reynolds joked with MTV News. “It hasn’t been done. Deadpool singing, dancing… dancing girls…”
Even though he’s kidding, that idea isn’t too far off — in order to make a successful “Deadpool” movie, you have to break down the fourth wall, according to Reynolds.
“Is it a fractured narrative, does it take place in the present, future and past — I feel like that’s the way to do a ‘Deadpool’ movie,” Reynolds described. “You definitely have to break the fourth wall and you have to find a way to make that make sense, which is no small feat. So it would involve a really talented writer, an amazing visionary director and I think a great collaboration between everybody passionate about this character.”
He certainly seems very passionate about this being done the right way..
“I’ve made no secret about my desire to do a ‘Deadpool’ movie, but if you’re going to do it, it would have to be 100% faithful to its origins,” explained the actor. “To stay as true to the source material as possible is the only way to do it, and I say that because there’s nothing more interesting than the source material for Deadpool. There’s no reason to deviate from that.”
Yeeaaah, but unless you hadnt noticed, they kinda already did deviate from the character in the comics..in a pretty big way! Asked about that Reynolds responds:
“They deviated [from Deadpool's origins] in a movie like ‘Wolverine‘ because the movie is called ‘Wolverine’ and they have to make concessions and adjustments — and I totally understand that,” said Reynolds. “But if I were going to do a ‘Deadpool’ movie, I would want to be pretty strict about keeping it real.”
So what does that mean? A reboot? Maybe he means keeping it real..from now on! Either way i hope his passion for this character wins through, because there is no doubt that Fox will want to add a few little details...
