Folks, is this real? Is this truly, truly real? It seems 20th Century Fox is finally fulfilling the promise made long ago (which possibly is attributed to the test footage “leak” a while back) with an X-Men spin-off starring Deadpool.
The film will be directed by Tim Miller, and Ryan Reynolds is still rumored to star but no official deal has been set. There’s also no other information as to tone or whether or not the studio is still going with the script written by the Zombieland duo of Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick, but hey it’s gonna be a thing for your eyeballs!
Deadpool releases February 12, 2016. Here’s that test footage, in case you’ve missed it.
