Deadpool is one of Marvel's more potentially lucrative characters, and yet the film has remained in development limbo at 20th Century Fox, home of the X-Men film franchise, since at least 2009. The brilliant screenplay has been equally brilliantly modified.
But then this week, following the footage release, Deadpool co-creator Robert Liefeld tweeted that the revised script will, in fact, meet the standard for PG-13. It's been a movie that, as recently as last October, Reynolds was hinting would likely need an R rating to be done right (serving as a rallying cry for fans). It's a short clip originally made about three years ago to give Fox executives a taste of what they'd be financing: over-the-top violence, bizarre one-liners, and a titular character (motion-captured and voiced by Ryan Reynolds) who talks more to the audience off-screen than the thugs onscreen. The reviews are glowing and the film is on track to be one of the biggest box office successes of the year.īut this week also saw the leak of test footage for the long-in-development Deadpool movie. This week marks the theatrical release of Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy, a PG-13 summer blockbuster directed by James Gunn, who coincidentally made one of the bloodiest independent superhero movies of the last decade ( 2010's Super).
