Wolverine Getting a Thrid, But Will the Deadpool Movie Ever Get Made?

<div class="MsoNormal">I know what you’re thinking:  comic books have never been hotter as source material, Wolverine keeps popping up at the multiplex, John Constantine is probably coming to TV next year, the Avengers are flying, The Walking Dead is a juggernaut for AMC (get it!!) and a ton of other superheroes are making tremendous headway, but where is the Deadpool movie?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31500000/Deadpool-blindbandit92-tamar20-31552919-1920-1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31500000/Deadpool-blindbandit92-tamar20-31552919-1920-1080.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">According to The Verge, Fox is in talks to make a <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/5/5071290/fox-wants-hugh-jackman-back-for-third-wolverine-movie">third movie</a> centered around a single X-Men character, which would be Wolverine.  Really, who can blame them because Hugh Jackman manages to totally own the character when slips into that persona.  While Deadpool may not have the PG-13 appeal of Logan, he certainly manages to have a large fan base as well.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">According to The Playlist, the Deadpool movie is <a href="http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/tim-miller-says-he-will-never-let-go-of-meta-deadpool-movie-that-studio-entire-world-has-moved-on-from-20131104">on the back burner</a>, which may or may not have to do with a lack of confidence in Ryan Reynolds after the whole “Green Lantern” and “RIPD” fiascos.  I have to wonder that if another actor was attached to the Wade Wilson role if studios would not be more welcoming. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Just speaking off the cuff:  Deadpool will likely not be a career defining role for anyone, I love the character dearly, but this is not exactly Oscar material.  It needs to be an R-Rated film that really suits the character.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’m not sure what studios require in the way of green lighting a movie, but obviously Reynolds and the folks he has on his side are not inspiring a ton of faith from studios.  Reynolds only played Wilson (a rather distorted version of Deadpool) once for a few minutes, maybe some new blood is required to get the project moving forward. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal">So who would I cast as Deadpool?  I really don’t have a clue, because my first choice would have been the late Heath Ledger.<o:p></o:p></div>
