Latino review recently interviewed Ryan Reynolds about Deadpool in X-Men Origins Wolverine. Hopefully this will ease doubts about Weapon Xi and Deadpool.

On talking about how his character would be portrayed in the film he said:

“ Ya, he walks the line. Ya, I think you will actually care about him. You'll be curious about him. You'll be curious beyond the film, you'll be curious about him. I play Wade Wilson and I play Deadpool, and the character I play as Deadpool, I personally, Fox may differ from me, but I personally don't consider him as Deadpool, I consider him to be what Deadpool becomes. Or the thing Deadpool came from. It doesn't carry on past that.”

When asked about the possibility of a Deadpool spinoff he replied:

“Ya, I love the character. I've always loved the character. I remember reading one of the Deadpool comic books, and somebody asked Deadpool what he looks like. And he said he looks like a cross between a Shar-Pei and Ryan Reynolds. And I was like, I really, really wanna play this guy at some point. I thought it was pretty cool. It's a guy that knows he's in a comic book. How hard is it to shoot that properly? That's not something they put in Wolverine nor would it belong in that universe.”

That means no breaking the 4th wall...

When asked if the mask, or costume would be in the film he said:

“I'm not gonna answer that.”



When asked if the reason he wears the mask would be in the film, he said:

"Ya, ya. Well, it's an origin story, so again I don't consider myself playing Deadpool. I'm the thing that will eventually become Deadpool. But ya, he's scarred up. You're gonna see the scars. That's all in there."

Reynolds also said that a sequel would depend on Wolverine, and popular it is, it also depends on how well Deadpool is recieved.
Well I hope that he does get a Deadpool movie. That part about him playing what Deadpool was has me worried that Weapon XI will be him. but maybe not cause Reynolds didn't say he would not have the mask.

I suppose thats FOX's way of actually respecting the source material. But it is easy to pick an actor when the character himself picks em.

Yah know, I just realized something.... This is deadpool; what ever happens by the end of the film may not even matter cause continuity probably doesn't have to apply to him.... Think about it, he is like the only marvel character who knows he's in a comic book

G8TSY - 3/15/2009, 6:26 PM
well put it this way, he said its an origin story, he does not consider him self as deadpool ...there for why are people getting mad because they want to see him, he is wade wilson be for his transistion as deadpool, i think we will get to see more of deadpool as we all know and love him, but for now we need to see how he becomes deadpool, there for im cool with this , i just hope he is not weapon XI....
THEHAWK

i predict that wade will become Weapon XI, but after Wolverine beats the shit out of him, he'll survive, and then turn to normal>>>>then turn into Deadpool...the real Deadpool.

if this happens, i'll be ok with it. just as long as xi is not the end of wade wilson's story

When I see people get so angry about the Weapon XI/Deadpool thing, I wonder if you know anything at all about his origin and how he came to be Deadpool. I have posted it in the comments section of many articles, but no one reads them I guess, lol. Do yourselves a favor, either go buy his origins and read them, look them up, or ask someone who has read it, i.e. ME. Once you've done that, you won't be as angry, a bit unsettled sure, but you won't be angry.

As for costumes, while I understand some costumes just wouldn't translate well onscreen, Deadpool's costume certainly doesn't fall under that rule. It would be totally badass to see that red and black ninja suit streaking through combat spewing blood, brains, and one-liners.

When an actor says they can't or won't answer something, it's typically because of a gag order. He probably isn't allowed to tell us. Something he knows to be so important to the fans would certainly be divulged if he were allowed to.

I like the line " I consider him to be what Deadpool becomes"This intrigues me I think this may be a good movie despite my hesitations.

If there was to be a spin off I'd hope to GOD that MARVEL produces it though. Tough enough character to do anyways, dont need FOX to make it harder.

he says he is playing the guy that will become deadpool. this means that either A. he plays wade and then when the character turns into weapon XI, he is played by a new guy (we know this is true already) or B. that he is playing wade, gets scarred at the end, and will become deadpool later on and have nothing to do with weapon XI. still not any type of new news or revelations here.

I used to read Deadpool all the time, loved his origin. I like how his name relates to the game the bet on when he was an experiment at Weapon Plus.

I think some of my favorite Deadpool things had to of been when he dressed himself up as Hamlet and used Blind Al's skull for a recap.

Or when he was fighting a super team, I think it was the Avengers or WC Avengers. Any way he was wondering how they knew what he was saying in his yellow boxes, they told him that he was always doing it out loud. He went on for the rest of the book wondering what was wrong with his first person narrative.

First off, I am one who believes Weapon XI to be Deadpool. The evidence for it is virtually undeniable, but that's besides the point. My point is that I'd rather have Wade Wilson become Weapon XI as a means to be Deadpool (scarred-up, forearm-katana-less, depowered, etc.) than some independent concoction of FOX/screenwriter.

I would be more pissed off at FOX if Weapon XI was not Deadpool, but some studio-made ultra villain that doesn't resemble anything we've ever seen before. Let's imagine that Weapon XI was not Deadpool in the movie, and out of nowhere, some random multi-powered person came out and fought Wolverine; how dumb what that be? It would be so so so soooooo much worse than it not being Deadpool. The thought alone makes me shudder more than my initial reaction to this Deadpool fiasco. A random super nemesis would be a ridiculous and illogical plot point.

So I guess with Weapon XI, it is an interesting, loosely accurate, and bearable take on a Deadpool origin.

aaaah yellow tiger true true

that makes sense...if deaadpool DIDNT become this pointless cocktail of superpowers..it wud be like 'wth! like there ain enuff mutants in one movie they start adding ones that doneven exist!!' so in my mind along with yellow tigers comment..he better be xI buuuuuuut FOX better sort it out that he still beomes deadpool..mask an all

buh i was finkin the only mutants that exist that has powers or various mutants that sticks out in my mind is either 1) Rouge or 2) Sinister with his gene splicing

hmmmm?

Regardless how well the movie does they still should do a spin-off of Deadpool or Gambit. Both characters have so much depth to them that a movie about either of them would be awesome

ok so i am thinking what everyone else was thinking that weapon XI is Deadpool which if it is i will be kinda sad but as lon as he has the scars and wears a mask at the end i am cool. although i am a little disappointed no breaking the fourth wall but i guess i will have to wait for a deadpool spin off for him to break the fourth wall

MarkCassidy - 3/16/2009, 6:58 AM
Whats with the "Ya"..is he from Fargo or something? Hes deffo gonna turn into Weapon x1..and i dont like his vagueness about the mask but at least he didnt say no! Plus he said hel be scarred up which suggests at the end he rejects the mutations and blah blah...ill see how this plays out! Dont let us down Van Feckin Wilder!

Just wanted to let you guys know, i whent to Toys "r" us on the week end and i saw yet another box of the "Super something Squad" that has kiddie toy versions of Wolverine's movie characters. I didn't have a right to take a picture for you guys but it had Deadpool (in his full outfit), Wolverine (in his brown/tan outfit), Sabertooth (in his regular costume from the comics, fur n'all) AND... X-23!!! Here's hoping one of you guys can find a pic of it on the web :)

I think all this does is add to "themyth's" synopsis.

"I play Deadpool, but the character I play as Deadpool—Fox may differ from me—but I personally don't consider him to be Deadpool. I consider him to be the thing that Deadpool came from."

Here, let me translate... Sorry guys, I will be weapon XI. but I will revert to the deadppol everyone is familiar with. Just hold tight though, there will be more to come...just not in this movie, because its Wolverine.

I waqs not happy with any of the original info about any of this, but with myth's storyline and the release of new info (though vague) is put my mind at piece. NOt to give FOX too much credit, but I know they know that the outside world considers a majority of Marvel movies a failure, and that the will not want to follow that recipe. I mean, FOX isn't a huge mony-making network for nothing... one would hope.

Actually the answer, That's not the ones i was refering to. It is the correct brand but the ones i saw were actually "Deadpool (in his FULL COSTUME), Wolverine (in his brown/tan COSTUME), Sabertooth (in his regular costume from the comics, fur n'all) AND... X-23".

I saw the mister sinister one as well and even Cable. I dunno if he'll be a part of the movie.

I've already posted this theory about the deadpool/weapon XI question but here it is again

We all know that Deadpool gets his healing from an experiment in the Weapon X programme and we all know in this film Stryker is trying to create the perfect mutant. Maybe "Deadpool" is the code name given to this programme within Weapon X? Wade was the 1st success with the healing transfer and after that, Stryker took it one huge step further creating Weapon XI. After the final battle leaves this new Deadpool dead Wade is the only surviving member of the programme and takes the name for his own.

Another theory I have is:

He gets his healing factor successfully and that takes quite well. But due to his healing and the rushed procedure of finishing the project his body rejects the other powers.

It goes against the grain saying this but I'm coming round to the idea of Wade becoming Weapon XI and think it could even make a pretty good story. I just want a way for him to go from Weapon XI to the Deadpool we all love.

As for the mask. I'm sure it's in there but probably as a teaser after the credits. Ryan has probably just had a gag put on him for that!

I guess that pretty much confirms the weapon XI thing. Oh well.
