DEADPOOL Movie Helps To Set Up 'Massive' X-MEN Franchise Plans, Insists Simon Kinberg

Good comments. Hopefully it delivers!

Yes [frick]ing please!

So is Deadpool going to be for fox what iron man was to Marvel Studios? If so IM IN!!!!

not the character, the film

How do they do this?

Unfortunately it looks like a lot of things will have to take place in the past. Not that I give a sh*t about it set in the year of the new iPhone, but leading up to 2023 when Logan wakes up is going to be difficult. If they even plan to make it there. Hell I wouldn't mind if they stayed in the 80's-90's for the next 5 movies.

Let's get it!

@TheManFromMars Me and Tucks actually had a conversation about that. There's only a selected few at fox who knows hot to hype a movie correctly. Kinberg is, (most of the time), one of them.

I'm so excited to see where they go with this universe!

There are clearly sort of two 'timelines' in this franchise.

The 'original'
Origins: Wolverine
X-Men
X2
The Last Stand
The Wolverine

Then there is the 'reboot/prequel/time travel' timeline
First Class
Days of Future Past
Apocalypse

But when it comes to Deadpool in Feb 2016 and the next Wolverine movie in March 2017....it seems unclear where they will take place. In the 'original' timeline or in this new timeline that has used time travel to 'reset' things.

@dckizzle
And Batman copied The Shadow, Dick Tracy and Zorro what is your point?

One day I wanna see an Xmen team up film done like the Astonishing Xmen comic arc series

@DIAMONDZ - You are asking to reboot a movie not yet released? What's going on with the people here?!

Cool can't wait for everything X-Men i'm happy FOX has more faith in all this stuff now.

I'm just happy I'm finally getting my Deadpool movie, with Ryan Reynolds. It's pretty much my dream come true. Praise Jeebus!

Deadpool will lead to a X-Force movie.

First off, I have a question for anyone that will answer: Who do you think the villain(s) will be in the Deadpool movie?


What I got from Kinberg's statement is that Deadpool is a part of some overarching story in the X-Men Universe; maybe it's tied into Apocalypse somehow. No matter what, I'm just excited that the film is finally made, the test footage was awesome and I hope the entire film is violent, hilarious, but with some drama to balance all of it out (A great example of this is the recent "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" story arc in the comics). It's great that Fox is finally expanding their Marvel universe. I'm hoping that after Apocalypse, we get to see an X-Men trilogy more reminiscent of the '90s cartoon's line-up. I don't know how possible seeing as the timeline has so many members of the core team scattered throughout almost 6 decades, but a guy can still dream. Hopefully we'll get that X-Force film soon as well as an X-Factor possibly. The Fantastic Four are going to bring a cosmic side that hasn't even been explored before, so Fox could maybe release Silver Surfer & Starjammer films; Galactus, The Brood, Skrulls, etc.
