Lovers of the Merc With The Mouth have spent years waiting for the feature to actually happen, but it has long felt like in vain, no positive news have been heard. But now everything is different and getting better. The 20th Century Fox has announced, the Deadpool will be hitting the cinema at 12 Feb 2016.
News of Deadpool's release comes weeks after test footage of the project leaked briefly online. The sequences was shot several years ago. In an exclusive interview, Rob Liefeld referred to that leaked footage – and
the positive response to it from fans – as the "last and most important
piece" to the Deadpool puzzle. The way he explains it:
In a recent interview, Reynolds commented on the leak, suggesting it helped move the process along. He says :
The first time director and VFX artist Tim Miller is set to direct the film. Ryan Reynolds roumored to be playing the role of Wade Wilson a.k.a. Deadpool. The Deadpool, is a talkative mercenary with a host of powers, including the
ability to heal rapidly. Reynolds played Wilson in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, while Scott Adkins played the character of Deadpool after Wilson had transformed.

"I had meetings on the Fox lot that following week [after the footage leaked], and that Deadpool footage was all the buzz. It had an impact. You could see it and feel it in the executive suites. It was palatable.
I absolutely believe that the leaked footage served as one of those signature moments when fandom united across all social media platforms and made their voices heard. Can you imagine if the masses had disapproved of the footage? In this ruthless take down culture ... it could have been ugly. Fortunately for all involved, it broke on the overwhelmingly positive side. It was a tidal wave of unbridled enthusiasm."
In a recent interview, Reynolds commented on the leak, suggesting it helped move the process along. He says :
"The movie has been in a state of limbo for a while. There was such an overpowering reaction to the footage, you sort of feel like, 'Oh, so we weren't crazy for our reasons for loving this character, for loving this role.' It's interesting to see the power of the Internet. It's awe-inspiring, actually,"
"And it's neat that Twitter and Facebook and Instagram can move mountains when used in the right way."
