Deadpool Spin-Off Confirmed – Reynolds Will Reprise Role

If you have yet to overdose on Wolverine related news, this may be that extra push you need. According to THR, Fox has confirmed that the character of Deadpool, who was played by Ryan Reynolds, will reprise his role in his own spin-off. Deadpool is known as, “the merc with a mouth,” and even before Wolverine was released, there was rumor of a Deadpool spin-off movie. Reynolds is a likable actor so his own movie would most likely interest fans of both the actor and the character. There were mixed reactions as to Deadpool’s portrayal in Wolverine. The character deviated from the comic books, so we will have to wait and see how he is brought to the screen in his own movie.

Wolverine was it’s own spin-off from the popular X-Men franchise which spawned three successful movies. With Wolverine’s $85 million opening weekend it is not surprising that Fox and Marvel are looking to milk this franchise as much as possible.
