Deadpool: He’s the greatest thing to come out of the Weapon X program since Wolverine. So, will the merc with a mouth get his own movie already or what?
You know someone who might have the 411 on your favorite jokster? How about Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld? That’s right, artist Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza thought up Wade Wilson way back in 1991. Today the artist is in the news become rumors are circling that he has already laid eyes on some of the preliminary footage from the live action Deadpool movie.
In fact, Liefeld recently spoke to fans at a comic con in Arizona.
See, when last we got an update on the project, which is technically a spin-off from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where a pre-Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds acted as the mercenary, the good word was the movie would definitely be happening and it would NOT, repeat NOT be following the events of the Wolverine flick. It would stand on it’s own.
Well, according to the Liefeld interview, which you can check out, below, not only is the movie still happening, but it’s going to be glorious, based on the clip he has seen. Liefeld says Deadpool is easily recognizable in the clip he saw. He has a Katana in one hand, a gun in the other, he’s “shooting people’s faces off” and doing it in his signature hilarious style. The artist likened the project to the “first R-rated X-Men movie” ever. He spoke of plenty other geek goodness as well.
