Hera Help Us...More X-Men Spinoffs


I don't if I should laugh or cry. I wish I knew how this madness worked, but I guess money talks and...well y'all know the rest.

Here's the breaks
Twentieth Century Fox has begun development on "Deadpool," an "X-Men" spinoff that will be crafted as a star vehicle for Ryan Reynolds, who played the character in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."

The character is one of the most popular in Marvel Comics' X-Men universe. Deadpool is Wade Wilson, a mercenary who, dying of cancer, submits himself to the Weapon X genetic alteration experiment and emerges as an indestructible semi-sane anti-hero. Reynolds seemed destined to play the character. In one reference in the Marvel Comics, Deadpool is described as a mix between "a Shar Pei and Ryan Reynolds."

Fox is also in the formative stages of a "Wolverine" sequel that will encompass the samurai storyline that was hinted at as Wolverine sat in a bar in Japan as the film concluded (Daily Variety, May 4).

2012...Things will be back to normal (Marvel takes it all back). Am I sure I want to be in this field?

  1. I chose to look on the bright side. They will clearly keep making mutant movies about characters i could care less about. Wolverine, Gambit, deadpool....all the basic tough guy characters...you can have them!
