Having watched a fair share of Ryan Reynolds movies, his involvement doesn't guarantee shhh
 
How can yall say that costume isnt cool. Thats who wolverine is.
But yall love some batman and flash mask......
That wolverine mask wouldve been fire on him

I agree the mask would be fire. But Batman and Flash use it to hide their identity. CaptainAmerica uses his for protection...any legit reason for Logan to wear his?

To keep his hair pointy.

I'm sayin'. He should only be focused on executing all of this. Go act.

Like what story direction or how many jokes did he disagree with to get Miller to leave the project?


Having seen Ryan Reynolds crush the promotion and marketing for Deadpool throughout 2015, I respectfully disagree.
:lol: You talking like he came up with creative ideas for the promotions.

Like Reynolds is a comedian on the side with great material.

2. How is this FOX's fault?
You would think they would have some motivation not to have that group break up. Let alone somebody as important as the director of all ppl. When you look at how **** been going for them you wonder if there's any ambition or even how important money is to them.

So I dunno, throw more money at him? (they wont. Cheap bastards barely coughed up cash for DP). At the very least try to keep Miller around for another franchise (we'll see there).

Yes the entire team is important, writing staff is essential but acting like this ain't a big blow, c'mon.

Just keep everybody else and there is no issue? :lol:

Greed was bound to take over Deadpool 2's production. Movie was too much of an anomaly. These doo doo heads are going to try and catch lightning in a bottle again and **** everything up :smh:

And after seeing that cosplay pic, **** Bryan Singer x 100. Reason I don't come in this thread often is because of what Fox has done to one of Marvel's most lucrative properties. Ok, you made one of the first dark superhero films, bravo. But the xmen will never be able to fully translate to the big screen unless Marvel is behind it :smh:
 
I got some Logan theories for y'all if you want to be entertained lol. I gave you my "Charles did it" theory already, so here's another one.

People aren't going to like this lol..

Just thinking, and you know what, I hope it's not the case, BUT I could totally see Fox doing the following..

Jean causes the dystopian future.

We've seen the dystopian future of DOFP in the cartoon and film, but where else have we seen something similar? Wolverine and the X-MEN! And who cause the dystopian world Charles wakes up to? Phoenix!

Reason I think it's plausible is this film takes place a year after Wolverine wakes up in the future from the events of DOFP in 2023. Who else could cause that kind of destruction in so little time? The depowered mutants, the births of mutants and the dystopian world? Maybe Scott was killed or something and she just lost it. If all the X-MEN are dead, maybe Wolverine was with Charles when it happened and somehow Charles shielded him from Jean's psychic attack (like she caused in the cartoon) and the strain from shielding them from such force crippled Charles mentally?

It's not exactly far fetched. You have to remember what Hank said in DOFP about the timeline. Wolverine stopped the Sentinels from causing that dystopian future but we see it still ends up happening anyway. Just like how the events changed in how Stryker put the adamantium in Wolverine, but it still happened. Different path, same result.

I don't think they go the Old Man Logan route and have Wolverine kill all the X-MEN. I say that because it's such a devastating event that you'd have to show it on screen and I haven't heard of any cameos from the original cast.

Just thought of another theory lol.. what if this is the timeline of DOFP? Like that timeline continued on in an alternate reality? In DBZ even though the androids were destroyed in the past, Trunks still went back to his future timeline and nothing had changed. In the DOFP movie when Mystique drops the gun, we see the Sentinels are about to kill Charles and Kitty and then everything vanishes. Maybe in Logan just the Sentinels vanish and that reality continues on. That could explain why so many X-MEN and mutants are dead since they died against the Sentinels and also why the world looks how it does.

I'll still stick to my original theory that Charles causes it but the Phoenix theory could work. Whatever the case is, something catastrophic has had to happen for the world to look like that in a year's time. Nukes had to be launched or something.

But I think the mutants not being born is the corporation's doing. Another cure type issue where they spiked the world's water supply to where they were given the cure unknowingly and it causes the X gene to remain dormant. That way people will have to pay to have their own bread mutants/super powered beings.
 
I'm sayin'. He should only be focused on executing all of this. Go act.

As I said, keep everybody else, replace Miller with a good director, and limit studio interference and the franchise is salvageable.

Or not. Not being a fan of DP the character, I have no personal stake in this shake-up *Kanye Shrug*
 
Hmm.. What if the little girl in the Logan trailer isn't X-23? What if it's Hope?

plot twist: its a young mistique and jlaw appears as an older mistique halfway through the movie.

:lol:

Not To Harp Too Much About The Apocalypse Movie But I Just Watched The "Beyond Good &Evil" Saga From TAS & Mannnnnnn So Much Lost Potential :smh::smh:
 
Report: DEADPOOL Director Split Over Budget Dispute

The reasons for director Tim Miller’s reported exit from the Deadpool sequel may be becoming more clear, as The Wrap now reports that Miller and star/producers Ryan Reynolds had wildly different concepts of the sequel to the blockbuster film - not just limited to casting.

Reynolds reportedly wanted to repeat the low budget/big earnings success of the first Deadpool, which had a $780m return on a $58m budget.Conversely, Miller wanted to create a spectacle to rival the largest Marvel Studios productions – and which would reportedly require three times the budget of the first film.

$58m times three would be $174m, making it the third largest budget for an X-Men film after X-Men: Days of Future Past's $200m and X-Men: Apocalypse's $170m.

“There were two totally different movies on the table, and one of them just wasn’t Deadpool,” an insider close to the production told The Wrap. Reynolds’ vision, which reportedly aligned with that of writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, eventually won out with the studio, leading to Miller’s exit.

20th Century Fox CEO Jim Gianopulos was reportedly acting as a “peacekeeper” between Reynolds and Miller, but when Gianopulos handed his duties on the film to his eventual successor-as-CEO Stacey Snyder, Snyder began working more closely with 20th Century Fox President of Production Emma Watts, leading to a breakdown in that relationship.

So after all that success FOX was not giving Miller the green light on everything.

I can totally see how they'd go with Reynolds who wants to do another low budget flick.

Miller should come to the MCU if he wants to do a big budget superhero flick.
