Deadpool and X-Force creator Rob Liefeld has little confidence in Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige with regards to the way forward for the Merc with a Mouth, it appears.
Fox launched two extremely profitable Deadpool motion pictures to the tune of $1.5 billion in international field workplace numbers. Not solely are they essentially the most worthwhile movies throughout the X-Males universe, however till Joker arrived final fall, they have been the highest-grossing R-rated comedian e-book motion pictures by a mile.
However regardless of all of that success, the way forward for the character and the franchise was thrown into doubt with Disney buying Fox. Earlier than this, filmmaker Drew Goddard was planning an X-Force spinoff with Deadpool and Cable (Josh Brolin), however these lofty plans, along with the eventual Deadpool 3, have been put in limbo with the merger and Liefeld apparently will not be proud of the path that the studio’s now transferring in.
After all, Deadpool 2 teased an X-Force film, however when requested by Inverse about the way forward for the mission, Liefeld mentioned: “I don’t know. Right here’s what folks don’t wish to hear, however thank God I’m a realist. I really feel like Deadpool, the films, they’ve set sail.”
“We obtained two good motion pictures, and we reside in a tradition that all the time seems ahead as a result of all they’re ever promoting us is ‘subsequent, subsequent, subsequent.’ It’s the fever,” Liefeld continued. “For me, because the fever calms down, folks simply must relax and understand that Deadpool 1 and 2 have been launched inside two years of one another, 2016 and 2018, and I simply can’t… I’m probably not that loopy about Marvel’s plan proper now.”
The quick plan for Marvel is to offer followers what they needed, a Black Widow film, after which introduce them to a complete new set of heroes to transition into the subsequent part of the franchise, together with the Eternals and Shang-Chi.
“It’s the primary time I’m going, ‘Hey, Feige, did you actually have a plan? Your plan was Eternals and Shang-Chi? That was your plan? And Black Widow?’” Liefeld mentioned. “In order that they shut the door, Chris Evans says goodbye, Robert Downey Jr. says goodbye, Black Widow falls off a cliff says goodbye, they virtually lose [Spider-Man actor] Tom Holland to Sony… however you’re a genius, Marvel, you’re a genius.”
If Marvel Studios began manufacturing on Deadpool 3 this 12 months, Liefeld mentioned, “it will come out in 4 years. I can’t be enthusiastic about that.” Saying that he “can’t gloss it up,” Liefeld added, “you wish to know the plan with Deadpool proper now? They’ve a goose egg, zero, zero.”
Disney solely simply bought Fox a 12 months in the past and Feige and Marvel spend years planning out the MCU, so Liefeld’s feedback about Deadpool 3 arriving in 4 years is correct. Nevertheless it’s most likely not as a result of they’ve zero plans. It’s as a result of the Merc jumped on the rushing prepare that’s Marvel. They have already got the subsequent few years mapped out, so the R-rated character should wait his flip.
After all, it’s nonetheless hazy as as to if the antihero will exist inside the MCU given his nature, however Reynolds has been working with Disney on learn how to introduce the Merc and he’s hopeful in regards to the partnership. Wade Wilson is his child, in spite of everything. And aside from possibly Avatar, Deadpool is the largest franchise the Mouse Home acquired underneath the Fox deal. They know the potential of the sequence and little question wish to please the followers.
Liefeld’s confidence could also be waning as a result of he’s the creator of the character, however these feedback are nonetheless a bit overblown. Marvel Studios is aware of what they’re doing and the comedian e-book creator simply must have a little bit endurance.
