One month ago today, Marvel Comics officially announced that the "Merc with the Mouth," Deadpool, one of the most popular characters in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine film, would be receiving his own solo film, possibly called X-Men Origins: Deadpool. The film will be produced by Lauren Shuler Donner and Marvel, with Ryan Reynolds reprising the role of Wade Wilson/Deadpool.
In a recent interview with MTV, Reynolds said that he gets to be the "authentication police" on the film, making sure that the film character resembles the mythology of the comic books:
(The execs) want to make an authentic "Deadpool" movie; they want to make it as close to the source material as possible.... (Deadpool's) going to have the scarred-up face, he's going to be in the suit — and, it's going to be incredible.
What is the plot of the film? Who are the villains? What other actors will star in the film? "We're just trying to figure that stuff out," said Reynolds.
