Last summer, The Daily SuperHero began reporting about a few whispers stating that a DEADPOOL sequel was quietly in very early development. Today, about six months later, it looks like that was spot on because The Hollywood Reporter has breaking news that Fox has given a green light for DEADPOOL 2.
"Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote Deadpool, are writing the script for a follow-up, which has already been greenlit, insiders tell The Hollywood Reporter."
This report also states that director Tim Miller is not yet signed on to return for the sequel, but Miller has hinted about sequel ideas a few month ago, so it seems he'd definitely be on board again. Fox reportedly wants to keep the creative team together. Good.
