Nerds rejoice, we're all getting a wonderful treat in 2016.
Everyone’s favorite cosplay from comic-con is coming to the
big screen in 2016…. Again… And hopefully this time they won’t sew his mouth
shut and give him laser eyes. God what a fu*k up Wolverine Origins was; but it’s
been 5 years and that teaser trailer “leaked” blew everyone away. “Why wasn’t
that Deadpool in the movie?” we all said. What the heck were they thinking?
Well it looks like they heard us and we’ll be seeing a Deadpool movie sooner
than we’d imagined. And since then X-Men franchise was rebooted/continued with
First Class and Days of the Future Past, we might see a brand new origin plot
unravel for Deadpool.
The whole reason for The Days of The Future Past was to reset the events of last three disappointing X-Men movies prior to First Class, while still maintaining the same-ish continuity. In a way you can say that X-Men :The Laststand ,and the two Wolverine movies never happened (God if only they go back in time and stop these movies form being made in the first place). Comic books use this tactic all the time, when they screw up majorly they either go back in time, jump dimensions, or have that one extremely powerful character to reset the whole thing. It’s kind of a groin punch for us fans who spend time and money on these comics and movies only to be told that all that was for nothing.
Groin punches aside, the new X-Men movies were pretty damn awesome, but they were rated PG. You can’t do that with Deadpool, you just can’t. Deadpool is a violent, smut mouth, fourth wall breaking badass, you can’t make him PG. It would ruin the whole charm of the character.
Ryan Reynolds is returning as Deadpool and that’s not
something thing we should be worried about. He was Deadpool in Wolverine Origin
and I think he was pretty damn funny. It was what was done to him in the end of
the movie that pissed everyone off. Reynolds has no trouble playing a wise
cracking mercenary, I mean he does the whole wise cracking shtick pretty well;
he makes a living out of it. He has the
energy and comedic timing to pull this off. The leaked footage was animated but
hilariously clever, and if they can replicate that short video into a feature
length movie I say we have a successful adult franchise on our hands.
In the end Fox has an amazing opportunity to make a
superhero movie specifically geared to adults. It’s a risky venture since
children are the driving force for block busters but making Deadpool
PG is like neutering your prized dog. It just makes no sense.
