Deadpool Creator Rob Liefeld Says DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Will Be "One of The Best Comic Book Movies of All Time"
Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld is pretty freakin’ hyped about Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine. He’s obviously seen an early cut of the film, and now, after the new trailer has been released, he’s looking to get fans excited about what’s coming!
Liefeld shared on X: "I’ve been telling everyone how great this movie looks and it’s the BEST action since Winter Soldier.”
He continued: "The car fight! Forest fight! The ********** fight! It’ll be up there with the best Comic Book Film of all time!"
While Liefeld is the creator of Deadpool and he has some skin in the game, I think it’s safe to say that this movie is going to deliver on the promise of his hype and the hype of the filmmakers.
Deadpool & Wolverine is not only going to be a freakin’ awesome movie, it’s going to be an insanely huge hit at the box office. This is the movie that will break through the superhero fatigue because everyone wants to see Deadpool and Wolverine team up on an adventure!
In this new story, Deadpool is recruited by the TV to save the Sacred Timeline and he recruits Wolverine to help him with the job. This is a journey that Wolverine initially doesn’t want any part of. But after a big mutant brawl, he signs up.
In the film, “After facing some professional setbacks while going through a midlife crisis. Wade Wilson decides to officially retire Deadpool and becomes a used car salesman.
“But when his friends, family, and the whole world are at stake, Deadpool decides to bring his katanas out of retirement. He recruits an unwilling and wary Wolverine to not only fight for their survival but ultimately, their legacy."
It’s also explained: "That f–king irresponsible hero Deadpool will change the history of the MCU with Wolverine!?"
The confirmed cast for the movie also includes Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic as Vanessa and Colossus, Matthew Macfadyen in a TVA Agent, and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.
They are joined by Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna, who will return to the franchise as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend Yukio. It was previously confirmed that Jennifer Garner will return as Elektra in the movie.
Deadpool & Wolverine was directed by Shawn Levy and it will hit theaters on July 26th!
