The Deadpool movie we've all been waiting for

Listen up true believers, the Deadpool movie that we've been waiting for since his first appearance in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine is finally happening. Well we have a release date anyway. February 12, 2016 to be exact.

Whether or not Ryan Reynolds will return as the merc with a mouth is up for debate, but we can only hope. What we do know is that the film will be directed by Tim Miller (who previously worked on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in a visual effects capacity) and will be written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland).

Don't go expecting any crossovers with the main Marvel heroes any time soon. The rights are owned by two separate studios who would rather just make a bad movie than give up the chance to make any money. What we can hope to expect from Deadpool is a lot of breaking the fourth wall and addressing the audience, something he does regularly in the comics, along with a lot of violence.
