Deadpool Movie is a Go

Ryan Reynolds finally has a franchise to call his own.

Fresh off the mega success of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a Wolverine sequel and a Deadpool spinoff have been given the green light.

Both films were teased in the two Easter egg endings in Wolverine; one which shows Hugh Jackman drinking to remember instead of forget and the other which has RyRy coming back to life and whispering “Shhh.”

According to reports, a Deadpool franchise was always in development at Fox, which is why they cast Reynolds in the hopes that he could break away from his always-a-bridesmaid-never-the-bride action movie sidekick roles. Now the film is heading into production with Ryan in the title role.

Let’s all watch Blade 3 and drool in celebration!

Congratulations, RyRy.
