The Return of 'X-Men' and 'Deadpool'

Movie Web reported that in the new issue of Empire Magazine there is a great interview with producer Lauren Shuler Donner who had a lot to say about the X-Men franchise as well as the upcoming Deadpool movie.

You can check out the link above or Empire magazine for full details but she talks about how she took the idea to Fox and they loved it and that X-Men 4 will lead into X-Men 5. So we have confirmation that Fox is interested to film two more movies for the original franchise. Hopefully they can figure out a story that works or fixes the fact that Cyclops is dead, Rogue is still not 'Rogue', the Phoenix Saga story is broken, ect. As well as keeping some of the new characters we saw in X3.

She goes on to talk about the Deadpool movie and this whole quote needs to be shared for its greatness. Lauren Shuler Donner states,

"It's a total reboot. We're either going to pretend that X-Men Origins: Wolverine didn't happen, or mock it, which he could do. It's insane, it's definitely comedy. But it's an R script, it's really irreverent and violent. Right away, we're out of the X-Men world. He's very involved, Ryan Reynolds. He's working with the writers on the screenplay and it is as much his as it is ours. I'm tellin' ya, it's true to the comic. You'll see all of them. You'll see Wade Wilson, the good-looking Ryan Reynolds! You'll see Deadpool in his costume and you'll see the cancer-scarred face.We're looking for a director."

The article ends with a quick quote concerning the new The Wolverine movie stating it will have more action that ever before and that it is very true to the Japanese saga.

I am quite excited for The Wolverine and Deadpool! I am not sure about X4 and X5. I have to see how they plan to fix everything they messed up.
