Deadpool Movie Gossip
Spin-off will get made if Wolverine does well, says character creator.

UK, April 16, 2009 - The co-creator of Deadpool says there are definite plans for a spin-off movie, if enough fans show up at theatres to see
X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Artist Robert Liefeld (who along with writer Fabian Nicienza developed the character) said via
Twitter last week that the producers of
Wolverine told him there were "definite plans to spin off Deadpool if the box office works."
He went on to say that
Wolverine's much-discussed reshoots were planned to give more screen time to Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson, and that the actor was "chosen specifically with the idea that he would carry [a possible] solo film."
We'll have to wait two weeks, when
Wolvie hits screens worldwide, to see if the film makes enough cash to give the wise-cracking mercenary his own film.
