Vanishing
Deadpool
- Deadpool appears in the animated film Hulk Vs Wolverine[57] voiced by Nolan North.[58] Deadpool acts as one of Professor Thorton's henchmen (alongside Lady Deathstrike, Omega Red, and Sabretooth) in the Weapon X program, seeking to capture Wolverine and the Hulk in order to brainwash them and convert them into the ultimate weapons.[59]
- Deadpool/Wade Wilson appears in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with pre-transformation Wade played by Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool/Weapon XI played by Scott Adkins.[60] He appears to be a highly skilled, wisecracking mercenary, who wields a pair of swords with superhuman speed and skill sufficient to deflect fully-automatic weapons fire. Alluding to this, Colonel William Stryker claims that he would be the perfect soldier if he could keep his mouth shut. Later in the film, Victor claims that Wade was killed off screen. However, Wade was in fact used to become "Weapon XI" a.k.a. the Deadpool (portrayed by both Reynolds and Scott Adkins), possessing other mutants' powers, includingWolverine's healing factor, Scott Summers' optic blasts, John Wraith's teleportation power, and Chris Bradley's technopathy (as seen when Stryker is controlling him through his computer). The name Deadpool in the film originates from the fact that these different powers were "pool-ed" together to make the ultimate mutant killer. He also possessed two long adamantium blades extending from his arms. Under the remote control of Stryker, Deadpool begins fighting Wolverine, and seems to be overpowering him, until Sabretooth returns to assist his brother. Wolverine then eventually gets the upper hand and cuts off Deadpool's head. In some copies of the theatrical release, there is a post-credits scene in which Deadpool's hand is seen reaching for his severed head, at which point, he opens his eyes and makes a noise.[61] This scene was later included in all DVD releases of the film.
- A spin-off of X-Men Origins: Wolverine starring Deadpool is in development, and Reynolds is attached to reprise his role.[62] According toEmpire, a script is in early development, and Deadpool will "break the fourth wall" during the film.[63] Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (writers ofZombieland) have been attached to write the script for the film
