They’ve got a great director on the movie, they’ve got a great script. I may or may have not seen some sort of test of footage that would blow your mind if you saw it and go holy crap and that’s Deadpool in costume. Katana swords, guns, shooting people’s faces off and making me laugh. And I may or may not have seen something that looks just like that. And you’ve got what would amount to the first R Rated X-Men movie. Because that script is R Rated. They may or may not have wanted to shoot eight minutes to see how it would play. And all I can tell you, it’s close. It’s closer that it’s even been to going, or going Naaah, that’s too scary a proposition to make a R Rated Deadpool movie.

Not sure what that means, has he seen it, or is he just stroking the crowd (ayo), either way, I still hate Rob Liefeld.

Created by Vujonny at ActionFigureNews, who has created a Crusader Deadpool.

Here is how Vujonny describes the making of this figure:

Crusader Deadpool’s base body was from a Dante’s Inferno figure.
I had an extra one cause ebgames gave me two.
I just got a marvel stand and cut it to make a shield
The sword was from TF drift with a bit of Thors sword.
The Spartan helm I know is a different era
but i just threw in cause its been sitting around.
Got some rubber wires and just glued it on for the chest and the face
Sculpted his eyes and covered his mouth

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Visual Effects Artist Tim Miller has been tapped by 20th Century Fox to direct Marvel's Deadpool in his own feature film. Actor Ryan Reynolds, who played the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, will reprise his role in this new stand-alone movie.

This would be Miller's first time directing a feature film, but he has a long history as a Visual Effects supervisor on several films including comic flicks like Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, X-Men, X2 and Daredevil.

Miller joins a well-skilled group of people trying to bring the Merc with a Mouth to the silver screen once again: Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have already written the script, and longtime blockbuster film producer Lauren Shuler Donner is shepherding the project.

While checking out Gentle Giant – I noticed this teaser image of  Deadpool! They’ve already built out the categories of Marvel products, and there’s one called “Statues with Vehicles” … Deadpool + Scooter + Tank Gun = BUY!

This June, brace yourself for Fear Itself: Deadpool #1 (of 3) as award-winning writer Christopher Hastings (Dr. McNinja) and fan favorite artist Bong Dazo throw Deadpool right into the thick of Fear Itself, the blockbuster comics event of the year! When the Marvel Universe was under attack from the Skrulls – Wade Wilson answered the call to save the World, but can Deadpool be of any help against the God of Fear? If there’s money to be made, you can bet he’ll try. When the Serpent terrorizes the Marvel Universe with his unstoppable army and leave Earth’s Mightiest battered and bruised, all hope lies in…Deadpool? “Fear Itself is a story with tremendous gravity and emotional heft. Matt Fraction's doing an amazing job of tapping into the real fears of everyday people, and retelling them through the troubles of the Marvel heroes,” explains writer Christopher Hastings. “Of course this means its all the more fun to bring in the clown with a gun! Deadpool is my favorite Marvel character, and I'm so excited to write for him. This mini is going to be a lot of fun, the way that Deadpool knows fun. A gratuitous number of explosions are guaranteed!” Can Wade get his hands on one of the Worthy’s hammers or will he just head to the hardware store and pick himself up a substitute? Either way, it will definitely affect his bank account because; this June Deadpool faces the full fury of horror in Fear Itself: Deadpool #1 (of 3)!

Above we have our first look at the first wave of the Marvel Universe 2011 “Greatest Battles” 3.75″ Comic 2-Packs.

• Deadpool VS Taskmaster
• Patch VS Silver Samurai

These sets were initially listed last year in Walmart computers, and now we have photographic evidence of their existence! The Deadpool figure looks like a new sculpt, and not the same mold used for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine figure … Taskmaster looks totally badass!

We can also expect a wave to feature the following, but unfortunately no images were released.

• Power Man & Iron Fist
  
• Spider-Man Vs. Captain Britain
  

Looking forward to seeing a Classic Luke Cage figure, Fros and Headbands!

I was pretty amped to have Deadpool in MvC3, but now Taskmaster, this game went from first day buy to pre-order! A bit more about Tasky after the jump!

Taskmaster (Tony Masters) is a fictional supervillain in the Marvel Universe. Created by writer David Michelinie and artist George Pérez, the character first appeared in Avengers (1st series) #195. He is a main nemesis of Deadpool and Moon Knight, although he has reluctantly allied himself with Deadpool several times.

• Taskmaster's "photographic reflexes" give him the inhuman ability to appropriately execute any fighting move or style he is able to observe and study.
• On the basis of his clashes with the Avengers, Taskmaster carries an arsenal of weapons familiar to Earth's mightiest heroes. A shield, sword, and arrows pertain to Captain America, Black Knight and Hawkeye, and do well to compliment his expert hand-to-hand fighting skills.
• So respected are Taskmaster's skills that he has regularly been sought out as a trainer by hero and villains alike. Among his most noted pupils; Crossbones, Spider-Woman, and a man he trained for the US Military to become a replacement for Captain America, the eventual Avenger, John Walker.

This video of Deadpool starring in the Green Lantern trailer is hilarious. “I smell eBay!”
