So why are they not making this? Because of focus groups or because Fox is just out of a crippling fear for succes?
Fox Is Probably Not Going To Make An R-Rated Deadpool Movie

What you talkin about? Deadpool has never been in a movie so far, the Wolverine movie had some pink fairy wannabe, but no Deadpool.
OT; Deadpool has to be r18, see what happened to Robocop when they toned him down? Kinda obvious that one, the Robocop live action t.v series was also pg13, and it bombed. Point is, they both have to be ultra violent.

Well then, I'm sorry, but I have to ask: What the hell is the POINT, then?RossaLincoln said:
Deadpool is not for the faint of heart. He has no morals, no sanity, no mercy... He both kills and gets graphically 'killed' himself alot. He makes fun of everything, he breaks the fourth wall, and he is also lewd as hell. If you aren't going to go R for Deadpool, you may as well just not GO. This ain't no Spider-Man...
deadpool is clearly not meant for children. the comics alone proof that. the sexual content and the over the top violence is part of the deadpool universe. it has to be R rated otherwise the movie will suck over and over.
also, what, he was in the origin movie??' i watched it several times but i ant remember seeing him. i guess im just used seeing him in his outfit and mask.

well then whats the fucking point ? They really need to learn from their past fuck ups, with this kinda stuff you cant half ass it to try and get EVERYONE to see it. Oh....wait, a movie is a success and is great as long as it makes its money back within the first week. Sorry silly me.
Butbutbut, they promised. They promised an X rated musical. A musical about chimichangas, guns, 4th wall breakage, and the buttsex. For the sole reason reason of screwing around with the demographic that LOVES PG13 wolverine-centic to the detriment of the rest of the cast, schlock.
Here's the thing, the Wolverine movies aren't as fun as they should be because they're PG-13. The gore and evisceration count should be off the charts but no... because Fox.
So yeah... try going PG-13, you won't get ALL of Deadpool's greatness and will have to rely so heavily on the writing to save for the lack of grit, otherwise the chances of the PG-13 being garbage are very very very very very very high.
Now if there is a go ahead to make it R... GO NUTS, you struck a gold mine of quality.
P.S. Everyone has their opinions on ASM... I for one despise it, and am looking forward to 2 being shlock to some degree.
Yay team Raimi!

Except his appearance as Wade Wilson for five minutes or so is generally considered the best thing about the whole movie (its about the only thing I personally choose to remember), and a pretty much spot-on nailing of the character, but in all the interviews Reynolds has made it pretty clear he gets the character and what makes him work.Callate said:
I honestly don't remember it that sharply. I remember it was just fine; I thought Reynolds' Wade was one of the more interesting mercenaries, but he didn't enormously stand out for me.Windknight said:
But as I said, I don't think Reynolds would necessarily be a bad Deadpool; I've never gotten the impression that he was a bad actor. I was just saying that, given his association with a much-unloved version of same and other under-performing work, the audience at large- the people responsible for a movie making back its costs- might not be forgiving. Even though neither of those things were really his fault.
Few things here:
I think Ryan Reynolds could pull off a full-on Deadpool film, because he works as a comedy actor and has the 'capability' to do an action hero. Since Deadpool is mostly a comedy-oriented action hero, this is actually a pretty good match as far as I'm concerned.
Second, I've read the leaked script (look it up) from the 2010 draft, and it was astoundingly faithful to the comic book version of the character. It had scenes ripped right from the comics, scenes that would have fit in perfectly with the comics, and scenes that were actually rather new to the series but interesting enough (granted, I haven't read a whole lot on the origin of Deadpool but I have it on good authority that his backstory is intentionally vague?).
Thirdly, if it's an R-rating that's keeping the film barred from being greenlit, I am okay with dropping it to PG-13. WHY? Well, there's an episode of Disney Marvel's "Ultimate Spiderman" called "Ultimate Deadpool" featuring him. The TV show itself is rated Y7. That's right, that's a PG-rated episode of a cartoon featuring Deadpool. And besides a rather annoying voice actor who ISN'T Nolan North, they pull off the episode rather spectacularly. Heck, one of the very Deadpool-style jokes in the episode is that he keeps saying "un-alive" instead of "kill" because "kill" is a bad word. That's actually pretty funny.
So, in summary, Ryan Reynolds could make a good proper Deadpool yet, the draft looks good, and I'm okay with a lower MPAA rating.

I'll be brutally realistically honest in saying I cannot see Fox ever making Deadpool what he is in the form of a movie, the ratings would rather him be butchered down to a Pg13 movie at best, even then he wouldn't even be Deadpool, he'd be more of a poorly written joke than anything desired.
Look, we already have the perfect Deadpool film. Two of them!
