With the expectation that Deadpool will do pretty damn well at the box office this President's Day weekend (anywhere between $60 - $70 million, according to tracking), Fox have gone ahead with greenlighting a sequel already. Somewhere, Ryan Reynolds is weeping silent tears of joy. As are writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick no doubt, along with director Tim Miller, who will all be returning for the sequel. No release date has been set as yet, as it's still a mite early for that. Although, we might have some confirmation on the what the sequel will revolve around, with rumours swirling of a name drop contained within the alternate post-credits scene doing the rounds. FAIR SPOILER WARNING, you know - in case you've got an aversion to being spoiled. ... The story fresh out of ComicBook is that one of the post-credits scenes has Deadpool announcing that Cable will feature in a potential sequel! Take the news with a grain of salt, as the two websites are a little light on information - so best to find out for yourself when you check out the movie this weekend - which I know you will. Deadpool 2 will be released sometime in the future. Read my Ups and Downs review of the film HERE. source - Hollywood Reporter.
