Now it's official

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/deadpool-2-david-leitch-direct-944728

David Leitch better get an appetite for chimichangas.

Leitch, one half of the directing and stunt team behind the John Wick movies, has closed a deal to direct Fox’s Deadpool 2.

The development occurs just weeks after Fox lost Tim Miller as the director to the X-Men spin-off sequel. Miller, who was an integral part of the first movie, which opened in February this year, exited the project over "creative differences" with star Ryan Reynolds.

 

[ferr]

dead puppy joke will happen

 

[georly]

Huh. Ok, now i'm back to thinking it has potential again.

 

[Xamtheking]

Am I dreaming

 

[New002]

Huh. Ok, now i'm back to thinking it has potential again.

Ditto.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Hmm. Hope somewhat restored?

 

[Zackat]

The action scenes are gonna be so good.

 

[Sanjuro]

Brett Ratner wasn't available?

 

[broncobuster]

Huh, didn't realize he's not on John Wick 2. The other guy has solo credit for it.

 

[wesleyshark]

Noice

 

[KorrZ]

That's promising.

 

[Escape Goat]

Brett Ratner wasn't available?

What?

 

[carlsojo]

Here we fucking go! Hype back up!

 

[Ross61]

Very cautiously optimistic.

 

[gforguava]

One the one hand, I don't want Leitch wasting his talents on someone else's vision but on the other it could lead to higher profile work if(when) its a big hit.

 

[Fat4all]

Can't wait for the parody shot of Deadpool shooting tactically like Keanu.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Can't wait for the parody shot of Deadpool shooting tactically like Keanu.

And the last guy Deadpool tries to shoot in that scene is Keanu, then he stops dead in his tracks right there

 

[chrisPjelly]

I hope Deadp2l copies the dead puppy storyline of John Wick VERBATIM

 

[Fat4all]

And the last guy Deadpool tries to shoot in that scene is Keanu, then he stops dead in his tracks right there

fuck yeah, cast Keanue for a cameo

i want it

i want it bad

 

[plasmawave]

John Wick appearance. Make it happen.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

fuck yeah, cast Keanue for a cameo

i want it

i want it bad

Keanu can be Bob

think about it

This is good news.

 

[wenis]

And the last guy Deadpool tries to shoot in that scene is Keanu, then he stops dead in his tracks right there

Then hes like "hey John, long time no see, how's the wife?"

 

[Xamtheking]

Keane for Cable plz
And Chris Evans for the main Villain

 

[The Argus]

John Wick appearance. Make it happen.

Deadpool was an assassin right? Maybe he knew Wick before the superpowers. Would be a fun cameo.

 

[shira]

Brett Ratner wasn't available?

Zach Snyder and Joel Shumacher were busy

 

[Amagon]

Awesome news!

 

[SwiftDeath]

Oh god a scene where Deadpool just berates John Wick about his dog would be amazing

 

[wenis]

Deadpool was an assassin right? Maybe he knew Wick before the superpowers. Would be a fun cameo.

He could even know John in passing as an assassin.

Or because John is always so well prepared, wade knocks him out and takes all his guns of his person.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Nice
Look forward to it!

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Action will be dope as as hell then. Also isn't he supposed to direct the Bloodshot movie too??

 

[Bishop89]

Am I dreaming? This is amazing.

Can't wait for the John wick / keanu gag

 

[Shirow]

I don't know.... John Wick was a terrible movie.

 

[Escape Goat]

I don't know.... John Wick was a terrible movie.

But it had awesome action.

 

[Chumley]

I don't know.... John Wick was a terrible movie.

What the fuck...

 

[NateDog]

I literally just watched Deadpool today for the first time after wanting to see it desperately on release but not being able to. Fuck yeah.

 

[Measley]

Perfect choice IMO.

 

[Mariolee]

He's who I secretly hoped it would be. Perfect.

 

[geomon]

I don't know.... John Wick was a terrible movie.

 

[taco543]

YO!!!! Fucking perfect choice! Can't wait to see the sequel.

 

[kris.]

omg yes

deadpool better not forget his fucking bag of guns this time though

 

[privitsan02]

Hope they use the dead puppy storyline exactly as it is. The potential will be so good if it does.

Best wishes.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Let's hope he brings good things.

 

[Cipherr]

I don't know.... John Wick was a terrible movie.

Ayo, who mans is this?

 

[AuthenticM]

oh SHIT

 

[TacticalHotdog]

Huh, didn't realize he's not on John Wick 2. The other guy has solo credit for it.

He's a producer on John Wick 2.

The other director of John Wick 1, Chad Stahelski, is going to direct Triple Threat which stars Tony Jaa, Tiger Chen, and Iko Uwais

 

[Killing_Joke]

I don't know.... John Wick was a terrible movie.

You're thinking of The Wicker Man. Which is a terrible movie.

 

[Rest]

I hope Deadp2l copies the dead puppy storyline of John Wick VERBATIM

...that's actually not a bad idea.

 

[MartyStu]

This is an upgrade as far as I am concerned.

I hope Deadp2l copies the dead puppy storyline of John Wick VERBATIM

Wholeheartedly agree.

 

[Indelible]

Atleast the movie will have good action, still not sure how everything else will turn out.

 

[sikkinixx]

I don't know.... John Wick was a terrible movie.

Srsly?



Deadpool was a fun movie that completely went to shit in the last third. Hopefully with a better budget they can make a great movie.
