2. He's Cheap
One of the major benefits to understanding that Deadpool isnt meant to be the next Thor or Iron Man is that the films budget can be smaller. Its all conjecture at this point, but Reese and Wernick estimate that, reasonably, a budget for the film they and director Tim Miller have in mind could top out around $50 million. Thats comparatively small change for a studio in the blockbuster business. This is no Kickstarter project (yeah, Im looking at you, Veronica Mars), but in the grand scheme of things, a Deadpool film is fairly low-risk, and it carries with it the possibility of some pretty healthy returns for Fox Studios. If nothing else, a solid Deadpool film is virtually guaranteed a spot on the list of cult-classic films on the DVD shelves.
