It is not a hoax, it is not a dream, it is not an What If? story, it is official, Deadpool is coming to he big screens in 2016.
Cinema Blend announced earlier that the Deadpool movie is on.
20th Century Fox (via Box Office Mojo) has announced that they will now be releasing Deadpool on February 12, 2016, meaning that we can probably expect production to start up sometime early next year. It’s hard to say how many pieces are still in place, but when we last checked in on the project it was set up with a script, a star and a director. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the screenwriters behind the hit horror comedy Zombieland, first started penning the script for the movie all the way back in 2010, and the plan has always been for Ryan Reynolds to reprise the role he first played in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (though this will be a much different version). VFX artist Tim Miller was hired to helm the project all the way back in 2011, with the feature scheduled to be his directorial debut (which it still will be if he is attached).
Now it may be hard to get a copy of New Mutants #98 at an affordable price (less likely now), but you can still scoop up some key Deadpool books on the cheap, if you hurry.
The often passed over X-Force #2, the second appearance of Deadpool, can be found starting at under $1. (Seriously do not know how the second appearance of a major character can be so low when the first appearance is so high.) Another overlooked Deadpool book is his first solo mini-series Deadpool Circle Chase
from 1993, which can also be found cheap. Deadpool has another early appearance, also from 1994, in Silver Sable #23
, as well as another Deadpool #1
, also in 1994.
