Same tweets reported by AV Club. So it goes.
You and me both.
Bear in mind that the writer is also responsible for writing, directing and producing Theodore Rex
It's fucking awesome.
Yeah, now if only Karl Urban could get Dredd 2 greenlit...
I think she falls more into the Hulk side of things, even though she's been a member of the FF a few times. Which makes it tough to have her, too, since Universal still owns the rights to solo Hulk films.

Seen all of it, too.
That's because they know it's just a matter of time until they have full control of Spidey again and because Spidey's about to be in the movies. If Fox had worked out the same deal for F4 and X-Men, they'd be getting made pushes too.
Not when you know it's a temporary move to reduce the value of the IP. Disney's game plan is and always will be to undermine the IPs they don't own to regain them, in preparation for the eventual day when they lose control of Mickey Mouse's IP.
While Deadpool has a following, his popularity never reached the heights of the X-Men or FF. I don't think Disney/Marvel as concerned about that title.
Well yeah, Spider-Man is probably the only one, prior to the MCU, that was anywhere near them (and Cap, I suppose). Even Iron Man was a B-lister at best before the movies. Deadpool's popularity has seen a pretty sharp rise in the last few years, though, and with how much push Reynolds is putting behind the flick DP could become a pretty big seller for Fox. You also have to take into account Deadpool being a 90's creation, and not having the decades of history and recognition that the others do. For the somewhat short time the series has been around, it's pretty well-established and from what I've seen at my local comic shop, is one of the entry-level titles people pick up to get into comics.
But that's my point. Deadpool hasn't had the decades of popularity or the household recognition that the others do. He's still sort of a niche character to the general public. Remember, Iron Man and FF has HUGE popularity in the 60's and 70's before falling off a bit and coming back again. They had their own cartoons and appearances outside of the comics, making them at least recognizable to a few generations of the general public, even if they weren't comic readers. Deadpool has never had that kind of audience, and Marvel wants the average movie go-er audience, who's numbers dwarf comic-readers.
Yeah, give or take. He's gained a lot of ground in that time, though, appearing pretty consistently in X-Men, Avenger and Spider-Man books, not to mention cartoons and a few video games (including his own, though it apparently wasn't very good).
Right, what I was trying to get at (and meant to edit to the end of that post) was if this movie does well, I think Deadpool could end up being right there with FF and X-Men in terms of properties Marvel/Disney might want back (and pull back in comic/merchandise showing until then). The downside of them taking it, though, is DP is definitely not a family-friendly property and would be better served getting the DareDevil treatment.
I'm wondering if we'll see it in our lifetime.
It's going to happen within the next 10 years, unless Fox decides to start writing their own material instead of basing it on the comics.
Pretty sure we were referring to the end of extensions for Mickey Mouse's exclusivity.
