8 Things You Need To Know About The Leaked Deadpool Test Footage

1. ... But It's Possible It Was Intentionally Leaked

Let's be honest €“ why would someone leak this footage to the Internet? Sure, it's awesome and the public ought to see it for that reason alone. But was there a motive for leaking it? The online response to the footage has been overwhelmingly positive. The only way we'll ever see a Deadpool movie anytime soon €“ whether it's the one envisioned by this particular creative team or otherwise €“ is if Fox sees a big enough demand for it. What better way to build demand for a Deadpool movie then intentionally leaking awesome-looking test footage of what the movie might look like? Neither Fox nor Blur has commented on the leak, but the timing of the leak (right after Comic-Con) and the incredible quality of the second leaked clip suggests that somebody on the inside might have done this. Could it have been Fox's way to gauge fan interest? Could it have been someone at Blur Studio hoping that positive fan response would push Marvel into making the movie? Both are possibilities, and it wouldn't be the first time a major studio leaked something in order to gauge reaction and later blamed it on "hackers." With the massive success of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Fox's X-Men franchise has gotten a second wind. A Deadpool movie could easily build on that success, but Fox still needs to be convinced that the movie would be worth the investment. Hopefully the positive response to the leaked footage pushes Fox toward making a decision. What do you think Fox needs to do in order to make the perfect Deadpool movie?Let us know in the comments!
