Ryan Reynolds and 20th Century Fox have reportedly completed negotiations for Deadpool 2, officially signing on the actor for another round as raunchy mercenary Wade Wilson.<\/p>\n
While Reynolds first made $2 million up-front for the R-rated superhero film’s first installment, this new deal will secure a higher initial payout for the actor, according to Heroic Hollywood.<\/p>\n
No details regarding the new contract have been revealed as of yet. Filming for the sequel will begin sometime this fall.<\/p>\n
Marvel’s Deadpool earned a whopping $754,530,050 at the global box office after its mid-February release, surpassing The Matrix Reloaded as the highest-grossing R-rated flick in history. The film cost $58 million to produce.<\/p>\n
Regarding the new Deadpool’s success, the director who brought a watered-down version of the character to the big screen for X-Men: Origins — Wolverine, Gavin Hood, told Cinema Blend freedom of expression was to blame.<\/p>\n
Despite having Reynolds portray the mercenary in the 2009, PG-13 flick, the character seemed nothing like the Deadpool from this year’s film.<\/p>\n
“I think the character works so well now, because the character is allowed to be who the character really is, unencumbered by, you know, PG-13 requirements and a great deal of marketing debate,” Hood said. “I think the fact that the filmmakers kind of made a film below the radar — and I happened to know a little bit, only because my production designer from Ender’s Game, Sean Haworth, is a fantastic designer, was the designer for Deadpool.”<\/p>\n
“And more credit to the filmmakers and to Ryan, that they took control of their character and got on and let Ryan do the film. Deadpool is a motor mouth, foul mouth character, and it’s very difficult with these big movies to, when you have to work within certain parameters that are set by, by [studio heads],” Hood added.<\/p>\n
