Looks like we started this thread just in time.
IGN: Deadpool Movie Announced
Quote:
UK, May 6, 2009 - Fox today announced another X-Men Origins spin-off, this time based on one of the 'Easter egg' endings that appear at the end of the Wolverine movie.
Depending on which cut of the movie you saw in cinemas, there was both Wolverine and Deadpool postscripts, spoiler-filled descriptions of which can be found here.
And having donned our best investigative journalist hats, IGN was exclusively told this by a source close to Fox about the oft-rumoured feature. "We are developing a spinoff with Deadpool. It is one of the two different "Easter egg" scenes after the credits of Wolverine and hints at two different movies that are coming from them.
As expected, the Deadpool sequel has been greenlit.
"One is the Japan backstory which was announced earlier, the other is about Deadpool. The film, which would be produced by Lauren Shuler Donner and Marvel, has Ryan Reynolds attached and would be a complete exploration of this unique character - his origins, his emergence as the 'Merc with the Mouth', etc."
The source went on to add that Fox is currently looking for writers for both projects.
Elsewhere, The Hollywood Reporter claims that the movie will go "back to the roots of the character known for his slapstick tone and propensity to break the fourth wall."

Now lets hope they actually listen to the fans on this one. And give him his costume!

UK, May 6, 2009 - Kevin Feige, the President of Production at Marvel Studios, has given a timely update about Marvel's upcoming films - namely Thor and The Avengers - to Empire Online.
Regarding Thor, apparently we can expect official cast announcements in the next month. He said: "We're looking to cast Loki and Odin soon, and the main female role. And we'll also hopefully have lockdown shortly, gearing towards the beginning of production, which will be early next year."
Feige also revealed that director Kenneth Branagh is already prepping the movie, and has put together some "spectacular animatics already" for the first action scene.
Director Branagh is already working on the action scenes for Thor.
Meanwhile work has also begun on The Avengers. Feige said: "Zak Penn is already on board The Avengers [as writer] and he's spending a lot of his time looking into what we're doing with Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, seeing how we're tying it all together. And he's beginning to outline the script now - he'll be doing that over the summer."
