The Deadpool movie has been in development limbo since Ryan Reynolds admitted to enjoying playing the role in the 2009 film "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Man at this point are asking if the film will ever get made. Apparently, if Reynolds has anything to say on the matter, the answer is "yes."
In an interview with Yahoo Movies! The actor explained that a Deadpool solo movie will get made eventually, but it's really up to the studio of when that will be.
"The movie is actually very small," Reynolds said. "There's minimal impact to the studio, which is the way we're kind of presenting it to them. We're saying 'Look, the budget is minima. Therefore, can we do this the way it should be done?'"
As IGN points out, the concept for Deadpool alone makes his film one of the toughest super hero franchises to make. More so than any other Marvel character, Deadpool would make for a difficult movie because he is constantly breaking the fourth wall in the comics - "in the most vulgar way possible" the site adds. Not only would this mean an R rating, but it would mean Reynolds would have to find a way to make the character aware he's in a film without it being campy.
"[The movie] needs those elements... It's very meta, I mean, the character knows he's in a movie, he knows he's in a comic book. He names studio executives in the script. So, it's kind of a risky property. But, you know, we'll see."
So will Deadpool ever get made? "In our lifetime? Yeah, I think so," Reynolds said. "I think if I were a betting man it'll get made, eventually. I mean it's just been developed to high heaven. It has great people around it, so we'll see."
