"Deadpool" Movie: Rob Liefeld Speaks

I am really excited by the news that the long gestating X-Men film series spin-off comic book flick "Deadpool" is finally getting going at Fox.


Ryan Reynolds is still attached to star reprising the role he played in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine for the film that 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.

Newsarama asked Deadpool writer and creator Rob Liefeld for his reaction to the good news. He says:

"I am absolutely beyond thrilled that Deadpool has been officially announced!. I'm thrilled for Tim Miller, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and Ryan Reynolds as well as all the guys at Blur Studios! This is a tremendous achievement for them! Rhett and Paul wrote a brilliant, and I don't throw that word around loosely, a brilliant script! Audiences are going to go on the ride of their collective lives with this film as they envisioned it! Tim Miller is a genius, he is brilliant as everyone who witnessed the leaked footage witnessed! There is so much more to come! Deadpool fans will freak out when they see all that Tim and the boys have in store for them! This is a huge triumph for all the fans that supported my work on New Mutant, X-Force over the years! The fans deserve this amazing gift from film makers who have proven they have what the fans desire! Very exciting! I know where Me and a gazillion fans will be on February 12th, 2016!"
