Rob Liefeld Gives A More Encouraging Update On ‘Deadpool’ Movie

Earlier today we posted a piece about director Tim Miller giving an update on the status of the Deadpool big screen adaptation that made it sound like there was nothing really going on with that at the moment. But, with Mark Millar coming in to oversee Fox’s comic book project’s the chance of Wade Wilson hitting the big screen have definitely increased. And it actually sounds like there may be going on with the flick than Miller let us know.

Deadpool creator Robert Liefeld has chimed in on Twitter stating that the departure of former Fox CEO Tom Rothman is one obstacle down on the path to bringing everyone’s favorite Merc With The Mouth to the big screen. Liefeld says that he’s actually already met with Mark Millar & Tim Miller to discuss the project.

I assure you, as Deadpool’s daddy that me, Tim Miller and @mrmarkmillar have huddled on all things Deadpool. We will storm the castle!!

But what was the most interesting piece of his Tweets today? Well, Liefeld re-tweeted the following tweet:

Could there be big plans to get re-introduce the character to the big screen after the abomination that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine? It’s quite possible. The script for the film has actually leaked out and been praised across internet forums and there is a bit of test footage that was made that Liefeld has called “Bloody PERFECT.” Fox, the fans have spoken. Make this one happen.
