Reynolds, spoke in a recent interview commenting on the leak, suggesting it helped move the process along.
“The movie has been in a state of limbo for a while. There was such an overpowering reaction to the footage, you sort of feel like, ‘Oh, so we weren’t crazy for our reasons for loving this character, for loving this role.’ It’s interesting to see the power of the Internet. It’s awe-inspiring, actually,” the actor told the Niagara Falls Review. “And it’s neat that Twitter and Facebook and Instagram can move mountains when used in the right way.”
Tim Miller will direct the film. According to Deadline, Reynolds and other cast have posted photos of Deadpool on Twitter, so clearly this is going. Production begins in March.
