[Shaanyboi]

Yay!

 

[gamz]

I'm shocked!

 

[KingBroly]

Awesome

Still surprised it took this long to confirm, though.

 

[echoshifting]

No way! A bold choice for Fox.

 

[BronsonLee]

My surprise is palpable

 

[Strax]

I wonder what the budget will be.
100 mills?

 

[AuthenticM]

It was sure to be a done deal, but it's nice to have confirmation.

fuckin' A

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Fook yeah.

Then do Uncanny X-Force after.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Good. Expected, but still good news.

 

[gamz]

I wonder what the budget will be.
100 mills?

I thought I read that they don't want to go money crazy with the sequel and lose its lower budget charm. But Reynolds and Director are getting paid for sure.

 

[explodet]

They should give them less money than the first and make it a key part of the movie.

 

[theWB27]

Don't go too big budget. I'm there though.

 

[jon bones]

the first was far and away Fox's best x-movie - glad to see them announce this!

 

[BronsonLee]

They should give them less money than the first and make it a key part of the movie.

I'd be on board for a massive rant from Deadpool about how they stole his goddamn money

 

[Raxus]

Sweet, maybe they can afford 3 X-men for this!

 

[kris.]

throw as much money at tim miller as you can and let him go fuckin wild with this one

edit: or don't i guess

either way this makes me happy

 

[Liquidsnake]

Awesome

Still surprised it took this long to confirm, though.

Right?

Studios announce this before the first film even hits release.

 

[Obliterator]

I thought I read that they don't want to go money crazy with the sequel and lose its lower budget charm. But Reynolds and Director are getting paid for sure.

Nice, yeah they should find a happy medium. Put a little more budget into it for a couple nice fights scenes and make sure the cast is payed well, but don't go crazy overboard with it. A big part of the charm of Deadpool was its "smaller" kind of feeling.

 

[Lijik]

im all for The Cheapest Deadpool Movie Ever Made

 

[Hyun Sai]

Keep it low budget please, it enhances creativity.

 

[bananafactory]

Agreed. Could work well with the 4th wall breaking stuff

 

[kewlmyc]

I wonder how many X-men they can afford this go around.

First scene should be Deadpool and Weasel robbing a bank with voice over narration by DP explaining that they had to go on a crime spree to fund the movie.

so meta

 

[Sesha]

Maybe they can afford a whole three X-Men this time.

 

[FairyD]

Is this Ryan's first sequel?

 

[mreddie]

Yes.

 

[wenis]

Well I mean they gotta get Dopinder out of jail first.

 

[Garlador]

News that surprises no one.

I'm sure everyone at Fox is still having a party over Deadpool's success.

Deadpool still on track to beat BvS in the domestic market, right?

 

[kadotsu]

I want a big budget just for the bigger budget jokes.

 

[liquidtmd]

I want Deadpools first scene to be buttfucking and spanking a gimp clad guy with a Tom Rothman mask on whilst he throws money around

 

[The Lamonster]

I hope they are given all the time they need. The first one had a very short production schedule.

 

[SeanC]

Fantastic. I can't wait for it come out on Blu in a few weeks. Really want to watch it again.

 

[Mango Positive]

You want to know what having a kid will do to you? I still haven't seen Deadpool. I have it pre-ordered on Vudu, but I can only get to the theater a couple of times a year. I saw Star Wars. I'll see Civil War. Dodged a bullet with BvS. Can't wait until the VOD release.

Can you imagine, someone a year ago saying that an R-rated Deadpool movie would come out and domestic gross higher than Batman vs fucking Superman?

What a time to be alive.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Spencer Gilbert from ScreenJunkies said the subtitle of the film is:

Spoiler

Electric Boogaloo

 

[inky]

$400 million budget.

 

[The Artisan]

i also hope to see deadpool in future xmen movies

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Hell yeah. So excited.

 

[aygomyownroad]

Awesome!!! I hope they have Hugh Jackman as a cameo that would be awesome

Hope the budget isn't too massive as some superhero films really lose their human side for special effects

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

i also hope to see deadpool in future xmen movies

Nah. Deadpool works to his own tone. I can't imagine him cracking Star Trek TNG jokes to James McAvoy

Besides Singer would probably dress him up in all black leather suit with a bit of red trim.

 

[Nightbird]

First scene should be Deadpool and Weasel robbing a bank with voice over narration by DP explaining that they had to go on a crime spree to fund the movie.

Yes!

Well I mean they gotta get Dopinder out of jail first.

Also yes!

 

[Garlador]

Not only that, Deadpool didn't even have the benefit of 3D ticket prices!

 

[jon bones]

i also hope to see deadpool in future xmen movies

keep him out of that dreck

 

[Broken Joystick]

Yes to all of this.

 

[bananafactory]

This is perhaps the craziest part to me, more important than the R rating

 

[CaviarMeths]

Please don't fall into the regular sequel trap of needing to raise the stakes and top the spectacle. Stay true to why the first one worked as well as it did.

 

[Quick]

Please don't fall into the regular sequel trap of needing to raise the stakes and top the spectacle. Stay true to why the first one worked as well as it did.

I'd expect this to be one of the first things Deadpool says in the sequel.

Then saying,

"Well, that's exactly what we're going to do."
