This past weekend at Comikaze, Deadpool co-creator Rob
Liefeld appeared on stage and talked about the upcoming Deadpool adaptatio,
during which he also teased that a Cable movie might be closer than we think.
“Following Wolverine 2009,
the Donners called me into their office and said, ‘Rob, we want to meet and
talk to you about Deadpool, since we’re spinning it off. We know we made some
missteps, and we want to get it right.’ So I sat there with a bunch of
producers, and we sat for several hours, and we talked about different ideas.
And I tried to steer them in directions I think. For instance, I’ll tell you,
first question they said, ‘Rob, does Cable need to be in the Deadpool movie?’
And I said, ‘No, Deadpool deserves his own function and Cable should come in in
his own movie.’ And they were like, ‘Ok, because we were thinking about…’ And I
was like, ‘No, you can do them both separately. They don’t need to be in the
same movie.’ Look, we had a long talk, we had some ideas, I can’t share them,
some of them made it across the finish line.”
He continued:
“And then,
they were brilliant and hired the Zombieland writers. Those
guys are fantastic. I went to see Zombieland like five times
in the theater. I was like, ‘This is genius.’ And the Deadpool script
is fantastic. Three years ago, the director Tim Miller, he came to me four
years ago, three years ago he goes, ‘Rob, I want you to come up and see what
we’re doing.’ And he showed me all the pre-prep work. And then, Ryan Reynolds
is pulling up to film this scene that day. And I’m like, ‘Oh, my gosh, what is
happening?’ Cut to that footage is in the locker for three years…three years,
and god bless whoever leaked that. Whoever leaked it and goes to jail, we need
to cheer them. That movie is happening, as that guy goes in cuffs, because the
Fox guy told me, ‘Rob, we have computer forensics. We will find that
person.’”
As for whether Deadpool champion, Ryan
Reynolds is attached to star in the lead role, Liefeld said:
“Ryan is
Deadpool. Look, Ryan Reynolds, he’s gone through that same career arc, the guy
is ridiculously talented. He has a huge, huge passion for Deadpool. Deadpool’s
not happening, because he was a giant star, they said, ‘Ryan, what do you want
to do?’ And he said, ‘Deadpool.’ That’s why it happened. They would have
no faith otherwise. That movie is because of his passion. He put together the
team.”
Deadpool is scheduled to open on
February 12, 2016.
