MTV News had a chance to speak to 20th Century Fox's Jeff Katz who talked briefly about the upcoming "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and a possible Deadpool spin-off.
"The film nicely tees [Deadpool] off for his own spin-off film," said Katz, who raved about Ryan Reynolds' portrayal of the wise-cracking mercenary. In Marvel's comic book universe, Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool) is a product of the same "Weapon X" experiments that Wolverine was subjected to by the Canadian government, but the experiments left him disfigured and mentally unstable.
This is not the first time we are hearing about how great Reynolds is in the movie and that a Deadpool film could be in the character's future. 20th Century Fox Chairman Tom Rothman has also previously gone on record talking about just that. And in addition to a potential Deadpool movie, two more X-Men films are currently in the works, "X-Men Origins: Magneto" and "X-Men: First Class."
Would you rather see a movie based on Magneto or Deadpool?
