Ryan Reynolds Gets Deadpool Spinoff Movie

Ryan Reynolds will be starring in his very own X-Men spinoff movie for his character Deadpool, whom he played in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

According to Variety, Deadpool is Wade Wilson, a mercenary who, dying of cancer, submits himself to the Weapon X genetic alteration experiment and emerges as an indestructible semi-sane anti-hero.

In one of the two “Easter egg” endings for Wolverine, Deadpool is seen rising from the rubble and whispering “Shhh” to audiences. (The other ending has Wolverine drinking to remember rather than to forget.)

I just they pray they get a decent writer and director for his film. David Goyer gave him some pretty decent one-liners in Blade Trinity, I wouldn’t mind it if they teamed-up again.
