Deadpool Film Will Connect With X-Men Flicks

The upcoming  Deadpool movie WILL occupy the same cinematic universe as the movies in the "X-Men" film series.


Ryan Reynolds played the role in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" though as an earlier incarnation different to the one that will appear in the upcoming solo movie. Since "X-Men: Days of Future Past" rewinds the events chronicled in XO, the powers in charge are free from explaining what went on with the character in that movie.

'Future Past' writer-producer Simon Kinberg talked about this very topic with ComicBook.com:

"There's definitely a sort of overall plan that we've all been talking about for the X-Men universe now, and Deadpool obviously fits into that. So yeah, I guess I would say it's part of certainly an overall timeline and thought process that goes into these films, some of which is inspired by the comics and some which is inspired by seeing what Marvel's done with telling a larger tapestry and linking all those movies together, even as they stand independently as well. The same kind of thought is going to go into these X-Men movies at Fox."

 Tim Miller is due to direct at some point using a script penned by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick ("Zombieland"). X-Men  producer Lauren Shuler Donner is doing her thing here as well.

The "Deadpool" is currently scheduled for release om February 12th, 2016.
