Cable has been confirmed for the film, Domino has been confirmed for the film, and both Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead have also been confirmed for the sequel. Now yet another character has been confirmed for the movie as Blackfilm.com is reporting that Leslie Uggams will be reprising her role as Blind Al.

Blind Al was Deadpool’s roommate in the first film and she was without a doubt one of the funniest characters in the movie. Ryan Reynolds and Leslie Uggams obviously have great chemistry together, so it will be fun to see them interact once again in “Deadpool 2.”

Production on the film is expected to start sometime over the next few months, and although no official release date has been announced for “Deadpool 2” the film is expected to arrive in theaters next year.

“Deadpool” did a great job at doing its own thing while still existed within the X-Men universe, and it was refreshing to see a film like “Deadpool” work without the constraints of continuity. “Deadpool 2” writer Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, and they acknowledged that Deadpool will continue to break the rules in the sequel.

“What’s nice is Deadpool exists in his own universe. He’s part of the larger X-Men universe, but in a way he isn’t. He interacts with that world but he is in the present. We don’t deal with the ’60s or the ’70s or the future. It’s here and now. More than anything, I think he’s going to have his fun with what they do in the other franchise. But fortunately, we don’t have to play by those same rules. Deadpool is a movie that did break all the rules. And I think we’re going to continue to break those rules. That involves knowing that he’s in a movie, talking to the audience, breaking that fourth wall, a characteristic that they established so brilliantly in the comics way back when. So yeah, I do think that timelines are something that we can make fun of and don’t have to be slave to.”

“Deadpool” was a huge success and the film has received almost universal praise since it was released. Ryan Reynolds had high hopes that the film would be nominated for an Oscar this year, but sadly it was not meant to be.

Following the Oscar snub, Reynolds recently took to Twitter to congratulate all the films that did get nominated.

Shortly after Tim Miller parted ways with the film, rumors immediately began circulating claiming that David Leitch was the favorite to direct. Other names such as Rupert Sanders, Drew Goddard and Magnus Martens were also reportedly on the short list.

Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds had creative differences because Reynolds reportedly wants to keep the film simple, much like the first movie. However, it was reported that Miller wanted to go bigger with the sequel, and make it something similar to modern super hero blockbusters. It’s already been confirmed that Cable will be a part of the sequel, and the two apparently clashed over who should be cast to play the character.

Fox has big plans for the character thanks to the fact that “Deadpool” obliterated the box office earlier this year. The sequel has yet to go into production, but Fox is already planning for “Deadpool 3.”

It remains to be seen who will end up sitting in the director’s chair for “Deadpool 2” but so far “John Wick” director David Leitch seems to be the favorite. Although “Deadpool 2” doesn’t have a director, a composer or a star confirmed for the role of Cable yet, Fox is already reportedly planning for a third film.

According to THR, Fox is already planning “Deadpool 3” and readying a filmmaker search to get a storyline together. Their sources claim that the storyline for “Deadpool 3” will include X-Force.

This isn’t the first time X-Force has come up this year in regards to a possible appearance on the big screen. Earlier this year Ryan Reynolds noted during an interview that he’s making X-Force a priority.

“There’s so much material to mine in just the X-Men universe. In the future, if we’re doing a bunch more ‘Deadpool’ movies, we’re really going to explore the X-Men a lot. We’ll see. And maybe X-Force, X-Force is my priority. I really want to get that in.”

As far as “Gambit” goes the film was put on hold so that Channing Tatum could work on another film, but it’s believed that the movie will move back into active development soon.

Now another key figure who worked on the first film has announced that he is leaving as well. Composer Junkie XL, who scored the first film, revealed on Twitter that he has decided not to score the sequel, and he cited Tim Miller’s departure as his reason for leaving.

He posted the following on Twitter:

Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to score the upcoming Deadpool movie. I love this character and creating his and the movie’s original score was a monumental chapter in my life, personally and professionally.

Since it was revealed that Deadpool’s brilliant creative director Tim Miller will not be involved in the project anymore, I have undertaken some soul searching. Tim was the driving force behind Deadpool and me getting involved in this amazing project. Deadpool without Time at the helm just does not sit right with me and that is why I have decided not to be involved with the second chapter.

It was a difficult decision, as I love the project so much and I know how eagerly the next installment will be anticipated, it’s hard to walk away from something so unique, but it also has to feel right.

Hope everyone understands. Onward and upward.

Love,
Tom

There’s been a lot of talk about who will be filling the role, and some fans have even started a petition in an attempt to get Quentin Tarantino involved.

Now Mashable is reporting that “John Wick” director David Leitch is the frontrunner for the job. The report notes that Reynolds’ agency, WME, is hoping for Reynolds to choose a director who is one of their clients, and Leitch is the top name right now, although several names are being considered.

When it comes to David Leitch’s stunt work, his resume is extensive. He was the action coordinator for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and he’s also worked on films such as “Blade,” “Fight Club” and more.

Leitch was heavily praised for his work on “John Wick” which was his directorial debut. He will be working as an executive producer on the sequel.

Fans are anxiously awaiting the arrival of “Deadpool 2” which is expected to be released sometime in 2018. The sequel will feature Cable, and fans are also anxiously awaiting a casting announcement as far as the role is concerned.

When news of Tim Miller’s departure hit the internet, it was reported that the Cable casting was one of the things that Miller and Reynolds couldn’t agree on. It should be interesting to see who ends up playing the role when all is said and done.

Do you think David Leitch is a good choice to direct the “Deadpool” sequel? Sound off in the comments below.

As soon as it was revealed that Cable would be a part of “Deadpool 2” several actors made it well known that they would love to step up and bring Cable to life on the big screen.

Ron Perlman, Stephen Lang and Dolph Lundgren were just a few of the names that pitched themselves for the role, but so far no casting announcements have been made.

The sequel is set to start filming early next year so it seems likely that a casting announcement for Cable will be made sooner rather than later. There’s been a lot of speculation in regards to who will get the high profile role, and during a recent episode of Meet The Movie Press a new name entered the mix.

Mashable.com’s Jeff Sneider revealed a rumor, and noted that this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, but he said that Kyle Chandler’s name has been floating around the film for months.

Kyle Chandler has an extensive resume, and has appeared in movies such as “Super 8” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Chandler is also known for his work on the TV show “Friday Night Lights” and his performance on the Netflix series “Bloodline.”

It’s also rumored that Mackenzie Davis is up for the role of Domino and it’s said that Domino is a scene stealer. Davis played Mindy Park in “The Martian” last year and she is also one of the stars of “Halt and Catch Fire” on AMC.

Earlier this year “Deadpool” was a smash hit and now fans are waiting to see what’s going to happen with another X-Men spinoff, “Gambit” which is set to star Channing Tatum. Things have been quiet on the “Gambit” front over the past few months and Kinberg said that the process is taking longer than expected because they’re trying to find the right tone for the film.

“I think the truth is when you have these movies that need a very special and unique tone, it takes a little while to find that tone. Deadpool feels like it exploded out of nowhere but it was a ten-year development process on that movie. I think it was honed over those ten years. I hope that Gambit doesn’t take ten years but it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right. The character has such a specific voice in the comic in the same way that Deadpool has a specific voice in the comic, that we want to make sure that we capture that voice on the page. Really it’s just about getting a screenplay that is worthy of that character and I think we’re really close right now.”

“Gambit” is still expected to start filming sometime in the spring of 2017.

Simon Kinberg also commented on “Deadpool 2” which is set to hit theaters in 2018. “Deadpool” was a bit hit because it broke away from the conventional superhero movie schtick and it sounds like fans can expect more the same in the sequel.

“I think Deadpool 2 will comment on anything that’s happening in movies today especially in superhero movies.”
