'Deadpool' Sequel in the Works With Original Scribes
Movie

While director Tim Miller is yet signed for the second movie, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are already working on the follow-up's script.

AceShowbiz - "Deadpool" is yet to hit theaters but Fox is sure that it would be a successful franchise. Reports are circulating that a sequel is already in the works and the studio has greenlit the project.

According to THR, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick who wrote "Deadpool" are writing the script for the follow-up. Although "Deadpool" helmer Tim Miller is not yet attached to direct, Fox is expected to keep all the creative team together for the second movie.

Both producer Simon Kinberg and Miller had talked about a sequel before this. "We certainly are talking about the sequel - we were talking about the sequel while we were making the movie just because when you make a film like this that's from a serialized source material, you hope that it's the first of many ...But yeah [Fox is] feeling good about it, we're all feeling really proud of it, so hopefully before it comes out we will be well into the process of figuring out a sequel," Kinberg told Collider in September last year.

Miller had dished out the plan of including the character Cable should a sequel be made. Kinberg commented, "It's certainly come up because he's such a big character in the world. And it's a character that I've always wanted to do in one form or another, we talked about Cable actually in 'Days of Future Past' at one point. But yeah we're in such the early stages of sequel talk it would be genuinely premature for me to say whether or not he was gonna be in it."

"Deadpool", set to open on February 12, is expected to rake in $65 million over the four-day holiday weekend. An R-rated action comedy based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero, "Deadpool" tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
