Reynolds has been aspiring for many years for Marvel to make a stand alone Deadpool movie and his wish was finally granted as it will soon be released. Reynolds previously played the character of Deadpool in the 2009 ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ movie.

The character had a short term as wise cracking Wade Wilson the anti-hero who is transformed in the mutant villain Deadpool with various superpowers. However at the end of the 2009 film Deadpool dies at the hands of Wolverine, so it will be interesting how the producers at Marvel factor the revival of Deadpool’s story and his backstory. 

Reynolds shared in an interview with Hitfix in 2009 the character of the Deadpool in the standalone movie will be based upon the story-line of the comics. Wade Wilson’s past will be explored and his face will be messed up so he will be wearing a full mask. The goal is to follow the story-line of the comic books on Deadpool as much as possible.
