Is Rob Liefeld Worried about Disney Acquiring “Deadpool”? – To say that Rob Liefeld’s career will forever be defined by Deadpool is an understatement. The live action film starring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool was a huge success and was a film that Liefeld signed off on, so with the news that Disney will be producing the next slate of X-Men films, Liefeld spoke out on it, saying;
[Disney CEO] Bob Iger didn’t deliver this unprecedented level of historic success for Disney by accident. This man gets it. He understands the culture and more importantly he understands the concerns of the fans. Addressing the Deadpool issue right out of the gate gets high marks and in all honesty, why would they mess with the success that Ryan Reynolds has achieved as Deadpool? The next person I encounter that tells me they want a neutered version of Ryan’s Deadpool will be the first person to express that to me. So smart of Iger to lay that foundation of trust and I for one am so appreciative. It definitely alleviated a concerned Deadpool base.
