More about the movie
Deadpool was a massive hit. With a budget of just $58 million, the movie went on to earn $782.6 million at the box office. Before Reynold started working on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he was signed for Deadpool. In 2010, the makers of the movie approached Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, for its spin off. These writers along with Reynold worked together on his character. After Wolverine, the makers had received a lot of criticism for how the character wasn’t real and there was some sort of dishonesty that the audience felt. Therefore, the makers did not want to take any chance. In 2011, they hired Tim Miller. Deadpool was Tim’s debut venture. During the hiring process, footage was leaked by the makers. The footage received an amazing response from the audience. This led to Fox (distributor) saying a yes to the makers of Deadpool.

When Wilson finds out that Francis is the real name of Ajax, he makes fun of him. Ajax gets offended by this and abandons him in a hyperbaric chamber. This leads to some severe changes and mutations in Wilson’s body, that combat cancer but leave him scarred and disfigured for life.
Wilson runs out of the laboratory, begins hunting down Ajax to kill him but later is informed that his scars and disfigured body can be cured.

Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun.
