It’s unusual that movie spin offs, spurn further movie spin offs, but the public love Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine character so much, that Marvel is set to create a further spin off of the X Men, Wolverine franchise.
Wow!
Now, the spin-off of the X-Men series is getting its own spin-off. With Wolverine coming in at #1 at the box office this weekend, taking in $85.1 million (it’s closest competitor $70 million behind it), a sequel was automatically greenlighted for Jackman’s main character.
Now Ryan Reynold’s character, Wade Wilson, whose character transforms into Deadpool, a mutant assassin has also been greenlit for a spin off of his own. The Deadpool spin-off movie is conceptualized to be “a complete exploration of this unique character — his origins, his emergence as the Merc with the Mouth.”
Congratulations to bot Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds on this great news. Spin off sequels could not be happening for two nicer guys in Hollywood. Awesome stuff to see that nice guys don’t finish last in Tinsel Town! :) [image source]
