Robert Rodriguez and Ryan Reynolds are totally into you Deadpool! Seriously. It’s just, like… well, you know,
they’ve got a lot on their plate right now. It’s not your fault,
there’s just these sequels, and promotions to do and stuff. They’ll
totally get around to you.
Or they won’t. Serious doubts have already been cast on Ryan Reynolds’ ability to reprise his passion-superhero role as Green Lantern flirts with a full trilogy, along with his Denzel Washington-partnered Safe House and Bradley Cooper-partnered buddy cop comedy looking to shoot next year. Rodriguez has to cap off his Machete promotions before launching into the fourth Spy Kids
film, which would overlap with Fox’s intended start date. Deadline has a
rather cavalier quote from the director on the subject-
“They
are trying to make a certain window that’s going to be tough because of
Spy Kids… If they push it back, it would be better for me.”
Trying
to find the perfect break in the waves of Reynolds and Rodriguez’s
schedules is going to be a difficult task, if it’s possible at all. Both
are unusually hot commodities right now, and the film may very well
have to more forward without one or both of them if Fox is dedicated to
their start date. Expect more news as contract deadlines and other
immovable production goal-posts draw closer.
