IESB.com ran an interview with Fox Chairman Tom Rothman about the studio’s plans for future films — and more specifically, their upcoming slate of superhero movies and potential spin-offs.
Rothman was asked about the much anticipated Wolverine: Origins film and about the popular character Deadpool in it. He was especially asked if there was going to be a Deadpool spin-off.
"Yes and no, I mean, Deadpool is an integral part of ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine,’ we are in the process now, of doing all the CG work to create that character at an A +++ level,” said Rothman in the IESB story. “It’s a high level endeavor because he figures importantly in the movie, so whether he’ll spin off into his own movie, if that’s what you’re asking, I don’t know the answer. We will have to see.”
Wolverine comes out May 1, 2009. Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role of Wolverine while Ryan Reynolds (from Van Wilder and Waiting) will be playing the 'merc with a mouth,' Deadpool.
