Fox to develop 'Deadpool' spin-off

Like it or not, but the folks at Fox will keep making "X-Men" flicks until nobody out there cares anymore. Following the solid box office start of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," the studio quickly moved to announced plans for a sequel, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox is now also planning a "Deadpool" spin-off.

That's right. Ryan Reynolds, who played Wade Wilson and later Deadpool in "Wolverine," is expected to reprise his role. In Gavin Hood's flick, Wade is known as the talkative mercenary who eventually reappears after joining William Stryker's Weapon X program.

No writers are on-board yet. As I'm sure you've heard already, Fox is also working on "Magneto" and "X-Men: First Class." If all these flicks turn out to be highly profitable, I'm sure we'll see a lot more. How about "X-Men: Senior Year" or something. Anyway, Reynolds will soon star alongside Sandra Bullock in "The Proposal."
