It wasn’t too long ago that we posted the story of Reynolds talking about doing a Deadpool movie should the studio decide to move ahead with that idea. Since then another site (that I’m sorry I can’t mention because it’s run by a complete douche bag) reported that in an interview with Lauren Shuler Donner that she was going to pursue making Deadpool & Gambit movies. Well now the Hollywood Reporter is well… reporting that the Deadpool movie is officially a go. Ryan Reynolds is attached to reprise his role as the merc with a mouth. Lauren Donner & Marvel will act as producers on the movie. It is unknown at this time if it will be directly connected to the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie or if the movie will stand on it’s on story. Needless to say if it is connected there is a lot of “fixing” that needs to be done. The project is currently out to writers.
I heard we might get Squirrel Girl in the Deadpool movie:
