Footage is all over youtube. Why the hell would you abandon something this good?

I think the main reason a Deadpool movie hasn't come to fruition is because Fox is reluctant to release a big-budget, comic-based movie with an R rating, and they know that they'd fail to attract Deadpool's existing fan base if the movie wasn't as violent and profane as the source material. The traditional belief is that tentpole pictures need to be PG-13 to allow for the maximum range of potential ticket buyers, but I think the opening weekend exit polls of many recent superhero films indicate that adult viewers can absolutely carry this kind of movie to success.

Guardians of the Galaxy - 55 percent over age 25
X-Men: Days of Future Past - 59 percent over age 25
Thor: The Dark World - 61 percent over age 25
The Wolverine - 58 percent over age 25
Iron Man 3 - 55 percent over age 25
Captain America: The First Avenger - 58 percent over age 25
Thor - 72 percent over age 25

Just imagine how much bigger those percentages would be if they included viewers aged 17 to 24. I think a big-budget, R-rated Deadpool movie could easily be a hit.

Ryan Reynolds isn't box office poison...horrible movies are.

Though, he might actually be box office poison now, after so many significant flops.

No. They're bad.

Except for Buried. That was good. But holy damn, Green Lantern and RIPD...those were AWFUL movies.

[Ernesth100]

So what you're saying is Ryan Renolds isn't a bad actor the movies he's in are bad movies.

I mean, I think the level of violence can easily occur in a PG-13 film. I mean, a rated R film would be really free to do whatever, but I don't think it necessarily means this is ruined.

[XvGojira]

The only thing I think that could make it work perfectly as a PG-13 movie would be to film it as violent and curse laden as it should be but have it be bleeped and censored and have a part of the 4th wall breaking aspect of Deadpool.

Legitimately, it could work as PG-13 movie but I can't see it working how I'd like it to without being at least a HARD PG-13.

Like every Transformers film ever?
