According to The Hollywood Reporter, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have been brought back to write the sequel, which has already been greenlit. Obviously this could all change if the film doesn’t perform well, but it is on track for a $65 million opening weekend.
Funnily enough, years ago The Hollywood Reporter also reported a Green Lantern sequel was in works. Fingers crossed things go more smoothly for Deadpool, because it actually deserves a sequel. Also, remember when a release date for Fantastic Four 2 was set?
Tim Miller has discussed the sequel before as well, having said they’d have to include the character Cable, which Kinberg also commented on:
It’s certainly come up because he’s such a big character in the world. And it’s a character that I’ve always wanted to do in one form or another, we talked about Cable actually in Days of Future Past at one point. But yeah we’re in such the early stages of sequel talk it would be genuinely premature for me to say whether or not he was gonna be in it.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Deadpool opens in theaters February 12th.
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
