As Deadpool 2 cleans taking place at the bin office, there's a bit of uncertainty surrounding the character, and the cinematic universe that he inhabits. Yes, there appear to be plans for more Deadpool stories -- be it Deadpool 3, or an X-Force movie. But what happens if the proposed fusion amongst Walt Disney and 21st Century Fox goes through. Does the foul-mouthed Deadpool automatically associate the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Should he? upon the latest episode of our ReelBlend podcast, we had the opportunity to question Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld if he wants to look his initiation in the MCU, and he gave his one major condition that he'd preserve out for:
Only if Ryan [Reynolds] calls the shots. ... If Ryan is not the guy who is helming that ship, then who cares? If Ryan is firm anything that he deserves, and they say 'You can attain your own situation more than here below Disney.'
Rob Liefeld puts a lot of faith into Ryan Reynolds, the leading man who has breathed spirit into Deadpool for two blockbuster movies... and one catastrophe of a unproductive attempt in X-Men: Origins -- Wolverine. Let's not speak about that. There has been some debate online recently -- which Liefeld has waded into -- about the compulsion for Deadpool to maintain his R-rated humor if he were to shift more than to Mouse House's audience friendly MCU. But the more Rob talked upon our podcast, the more he set the stage for Deadpool eventual retrieve into the Marvel sandbox, and he got us all totally excited. Liefeld said:
Let's say that goes through. So, now, I can not imagine a world where the response -- if upon stage, let's say a Hall H or a D23, clearly, one of the places this will happen, Ryan coming out as Josh [Brolin] did last year. ... Can you imagine, that similar scene, Ryan walking out to shake hands as soon as [Robert] Downey Jr.? I mean, I think the world would go bazonkers. And you know, having him interact as soon as them, I think, is next level, billion dollar... I don't know how that doesn't put on an act out spectacularly well.But, I'm going to go back. I in reality receive Ryan, who has invested thus much of himself in both movies, and people don't understand -- he is all but directing these movies. This sequel, he poured anything that he could into it. And I just think they gotta... and the situation is, you look at Marvel, and there in reality by yourself has been one captain of that ship. thus I would wish that they go, 'Ryan, you have your own fleet of ship. They're right more than here. We have the Santa Maria, and you have the S.S. Deadpool.'
It will be totally interesting to look how the Fox properties are handled if a Disney agreement goes through. even if the fantastic Four could in reality use a Marvel Studios reboot, Deadpool is locating along nicely in his well-established lane. And the X-Men/New Mutants side of the equation is in reality irritating to save their continuity in line. still unconventional reboot upon the MCU side would leave a lot of cast in jeopardy. We probably compulsion a new Wolverine. But are Cyclops and Jean Grey, as we know them, done?
We'll save track of the Fox and Disney deal. What attain you think? attain you think Deadpool fits in the MCU? listen to our full conversation as soon as Rob Liefeld upon the latest ReelBlend podcast episode, in the artiste above.
