Simon Kinberg Says Deadpool Is Fantastic, And Fox Is Already Talking About Sequel

The long-awaited Deadpool movie is in the midst of the post-production process, and producer Simon Kinberg likes what he’s seen.

Kinberg tells Collider that he has seen a rough cut of the movie and is very pleased with how it is shaping up.

“I have seen a rough cut of Deadpool and it’s fantastic. It’s a really good movie. It delivers on the promise of the trailer… We really committed and leaned into it being R-rated. It’s just darker and edgier and weirder in the best way—like Deadpool should be—than any other movie in the genre.”

In fact, 20th Century Fox is so pleased with the film that they’re already making plans for the sequel.

“We certainly are talking about the sequel—we were talking about the sequel while we were making the movie just because when you make a film like this that’s from a serialized source material, you hope that it’s the first of many… But yeah [Fox is] feeling good about it, we’re all feeling really proud of it, so hopefully before it comes out we will be well into the process of figuring out a sequel.”

However, it might be a little early to commit to the inclusion of Cable of the proposed sequel.

“It’s certainly come up because he’s such a big character in the world. And it’s a character that I’ve always wanted to do in one form or another, we talked about Cable actually in Days of Future Past at one point. But yeah we’re in such the early stages of sequel talk it would be genuinely premature for me to say whether or not he was gonna be in it.”
