I know we only have a few months before the Wolverine movie hits theaters. As a comic fan for 20+ years I have always wanted a stand alone Wolverine movie but never thought it would happen. Well now it is!! I just hope we get the Wolverine movie that we have all been waiting for. I have no problem with Hugh Jackman playing our clawed crusader. Hugh has proven time and time again that he deserves the role. He was great in X-men 1 and 2, X-men 3 is a entirely different article but he was good in that one too.
Gambit is featured in this movie as well and looks kick ass. The trailer really delivered on what we want to see Gambit doing in his first role on the big screen. The part that scares me about this movie is what Hugh said in his most recent video interview, the part about how they took creative liberties with Deadpool.
As a fan of the comics I always thought a Deadpool movie would be pretty cool if done right. But that's the key is it has to be done right, and being done right means staying true to the source content that made Deadpool so popular. What the fans don't want to see is Ryan Reynolds running around in black spandex without a mask the whole movie. We want to see Deadpool not Ryan Reynolds. Please Fox, please put his mask on!!!! Deadpool wears the mask to cover up his disfigured face, its part of his character, its part of why he is so cocky. Deadpool once blew himself up to take out his target, lets see that!!!!!!!!!!
So are you ready for a Wolverine movie? I am but only if Fox stays true to the source content and not the whims of an over paid Fox Studio Executive. Then Fox will for sure have a huge Blockbuster on their hands. If they do not and fans get their way (which never happens) then this could be one of the last properties that Fox will corrupt. Depending on contracts I am sure Marvel would love to see their beloved Mutant Agenda be back in the hands that created it. What do you think?
