Ryan Reynolds says Deadpool is moving ahead, and he's involved
Ryan Reynolds, who played Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, told reporters Sunday that a spinoff movie is in the works, that he's actively involved and that he's eager to match up with other Marvel heroes.
"Look, I'm into any role in which I get to kick Captain America in the nuts," Reynolds said in a press conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he was promoting the romantic comedy The Proposal.
Any such specific encounters are still up in the air, though, as the Deadpool script is far from finished. "Yeah, it's in the works," he said. "That's about all I can really say. They're actively hashing [it] out."
Reynolds added that he has been involved in the creative process. "I'm meeting with them all the time," he said. "We're in constant contact, and it's just a matter of breaking the spine of the story and figuring out what it is and who's the villain."
The movie would focus on Reynolds' Wolverine character, who started out as a motor-mouthed expert swordsman and morphs into a multi-powered supervillain.

he actually said in an interview with ign that the deadpool movie will most likely not be too close to the deadpool in wolverine and that he is determined to make it as close to the source material possible.

I highly, HIGHLY doubt Deadpool would get to kick Captain America in the nuts in any movie iteration of either character.
Cap kicking Deadpool's butt all over the place, which is the more likely scenario, is likely to happen.
And any movie where Cap gets to kick the crap out of Deadpool is something *I* need to be involved in.
Deadpool sucks and he always will. A movie where a train of Marvel superheroes just stand in line to take turns beating on this worthless character would be the best thing ever.

You know, if Deadpool just put his boggling mind to it, he can pretty much defeat any marvel superhero. What I like to see is Colin Farrell come back as Bullseye. That would be a nice surprise.
