Ryan Reyonlds Dishes Out on Deadpool


MTV News had the chance to talk with Ryan Reynolds about the new spin-off movie "Deadpool."

The character had a sort of unglamorous start in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," but Reynolds is hoping to fix all the mistakes and stay true to the character because playing Deadpool has been a dream of his.

“I love it, because I get to be involved,” Reynolds said of his role in the development of the Deadpool spin-off film. “And I’m such a huge fan of the character.”

Currently, Reynolds and the studio are seeking a director and writer(s) for the film, and listening to plenty of ideas about where Wade’s story should go. Fortunately for the die-hard fans, Reynolds has no intention of letting the film stray too far from its comic origins.

“I get to be the authentication police, in a weird way,” Reynolds said. “To their credit — the studio’s credit — they want to make an authentic ‘Deadpool’ movie; they want to make it as close to the source material as possible.”

With that in mind, the actor said that he and the studio have already agreed to some key terms. “He’s going to be the Merc with the Mouth, [we’re going to give] all those answers that everyone wants,” Reynolds explained. “He’s going to have the scarred-up face, he’s going to be in the suit — and, it’s going to be incredible.”

So, as the actor and his studio begin assembling their team, Reynolds is bringing his “authentication police” skills to finding similar-minded people who can tell the fractured tale of the deadly mutant. “Right now, it’s just a question of trying to figure out what is the spine of the story,” Ryan said of their current discussions. “Who is the villain? What does Wade and/or Deadpool want?”

“And how do you tell that story? Are we going to see flashbacks to his old life, flash-forwards, present-day?” Reynolds added. “We’re just trying to figure that stuff out.”

Do you think Reyondlds and 20th Century Fox can stay true to the comics and make a good "Deadpool" movie?
