Could Ryan Reynolds Be Replaced in "Deadpool"?
TotalFilm caught up with Ryan Reynolds two weeks after Comic-Con to ask about the rumored "Deadpool" movie, and how it will be connected to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
"The two movies have absolutely no connection at all, that's how," he said. This news means that 20th Century Fox could replace Reynolds if the actor decides not to reprise his role. And that's exactly what's being rumored now. Even though he is signing on for many non-superhero movies, Warner Bros apparently wants Reynolds to pass on "Deadpool" to focus on "Green Lantern 2."
At this point Fox is in talks with Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) to direct "Deadpool," but the helmer has a very busy schedule and has only a small window next year to make this happen. Meanwhile, Reynolds has about six projects in pre-production, making it difficult for him to be available at the same time as Rodriguez.
For now, Reynolds is happy to announce that the script for "Deadpool" has everything that will make fans happy. "The fourth wall is broken many times in the movie," he said. "I can't emphasize enough how closely the tone of the comic is being followed. But its a nasty piece of work and that's what's important."
Reynolds continued: "The script is going to be a little harder than the comic. If you were going to assign a rating, the comics would be PG-13, the script right now is walking a tightrope between that and an R-rating."
