Deadpool gets new writing team

Chalk up another great decision by Marvel for one of their movies! Variety confirmed today that Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland) were going to be writing the new “Deadpool” movie with Ryan Reynolds.

In the article, Variety also states Reese and Wernick “will stay true to the mythology of Deadpool given that Reynolds is a huge fan and protector of the property,” and that, of course, “the tone of Deadpool, which features an antihero as opposed to the more traditional heroic comicbook protagonist, is very similar in tone to Zombieland.”

If anyone saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine you knew the second you saw Reynolds as Deadpool he was getting a spin off movie. Reese and Wernick rejuvenated the zombie genre with the way the characters in “Zombieland” interacted with each other. That’s no small feat when you think of how many zombie movies are out there.

Deadpool isn’t one of the most recognized characters in the Marvel universe, but after this movie there is no doubt in my mind he will be.
