Deadpool Movie Script Nearly NC-17

While Ryan Reynolds has very little interest in a Justice League movie, he sounds decidedly more excited about the possibility of a Deadpool movie. In an extensive podcast interview with Empire Online, Ryan Reynolds seemed to be almost foaming at the mouth to do a Deadpool movie, even though he thinks the studio is unlikely to take the risk the way that it is currently written. When asked about the possibility of a cameo in X-Men Days Of Future Past, Ryan Reynolds said, "I love that kind of stuff. I loved doing Wolverine 'cause the movie wasn't on my shoulders. I got to kind of come in and insult everybody. It was a lot of fun actually. I love Deadpool and there is a script that's in development. But it's so, so far into the R-rated zone... it's a nearly NC-17 world and I just don't know if the studio would ever risk their reputation doing it. We've been developing it and we would never wanna do it unless you could it that R-rated way, so..." Part of Ryan Reynolds excitement over Deadpool revolves around the script, which is by Zombieland writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Rheese. Ryan Reynolds said, "Deadpool's got a similar tone almost. They wrote it and they developed it as well and, you know, it's sitting there. You could do it for a pittance compared to the modern sort of epic scale superhero movies, but it's about a guy who knows he's in a movie and knows he's in a comic book who is deeply mentally disturbed and hyper violent. And that's tough to get by a studio." As far as how Deadpool would tie into the connected universe that 20th Century Fox has been building for their licensed Marvel properties, it turns out that it wouldn't. When asked how it would fit into the existing Wolverine movies, Ryan Reynolds said, "I don't think you can do that, because that character would really sully that whole world. The script is one rewrite away from Deadpool jumping across the desk at the studio executive and attacking him." Reynolds also added, "But I've always wanted to do the movie just if only because Deadpool would get to do his own movie trailer. So that's a thing that we were dying to do and we would love to be a part of that. I don't know how it would fit though, no. In the current iteration of the script, it doesn't address Wolverine - though it does address Deadpool's appearance in Wolverine. Deadpool was not happy with Deadpool in Wolverine. He has a sort of a WTF!? moment with that."
