Good news, everyone!
If you read that in Professor Farnsworth’s voice, you have my sincerest apologies, but it really makes sense. Seems that what you’ve heard about the Deadpool movie being DOA because Ryan Reynolds decided to jump Marvel / Disney ship and take on the Green Lantern role has been somewhat exaggerated. Indeed, he WILL still be handling the ring and lantern, but he’ll ALSO be signing up for merc-with-a-mouth duties as Deadpool in the stand-alone that was greenlit not too long after the Wolverine movie cleaned everyone’s box office clock.
Included in the upcoming release will be “loads of killing” and a healthy dose of “breaking the fourth wall”, which is frankly awesome in its own way. That and I think Ryan Reynolds really IS about the only person with that mix of action hero and comedy figure to handle the part–his George Lutz in the Amityville remake was almost as good as the original.
No word on release dates yet–this sucker’s still downright embryonic–but you can look for it to hit pretty soon, I’d say.
