Deadpool movie


During Comic-Con in July of 2014, test footage of the Deadpool movie that was once presumed "dead"(not happening anymore) was leaked to the internet and everyone went crazy.
Fox desperately tried to take down the video but by the time they were able to take most of them down, many fans had watched the video already. After that many fans rallied to get the movie to go into production again by starting petitions, tweeting at 20th Century Fox, and even Ryan Reynolds who played the "Merc with a Mouth" in the test footage joined in on getting the project back on board. Reynolds has played Wade Wilson (Deadpool's actual name) before in X-Men Origins. 

Fox finally gave in and decided to give the fans what they wanted which was that the Deadpool movie will finally get made and hit theaters February 12, 2016.

After hearing the news, many comic book fans were ecstatic but were faced with another problem that could affect who was able to watch the movie. The problem was that whether the Deadpool movie should be rated R or PG-13. A lot of fans knew that if the movie wasn't going to be rated R we wouldn't be getting the same Deadpool from the comics. After a lot of protests, it was announced that the movie will be getting an R rating instead of PG-13 which is a first in Superhero movies as stated by EW.com.

I, along with many others will be looking forward to this movie because it will different from the other superhero movies that have been made before.
