What’s To Come of Deadpool

Now that Disney is one step closer to world dominance thanks to their acquisition of Fox, and now that Deadpool has been officially announced as part of the plans for the MCU Phase 5, fans have a lot to wonder. For starters, the kind of language commonly associated with the Merc With a Mouth isn’t exactly Disney appropriate. But if dumbed down for the larger audience and to meet the standards for the rest of the MCU’s offerings, will some of the magic from the first two films be lost?

While promoting Hobbes & Shaw, his latest offering, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch had this to say on the matter: “It’s rated R so that’s not necessarily the [MCU] brand but he doesn’t necessarily need to be R and [Disney] don’t necessarily need to only make PG-13 movies,” Leitch told Yahoo Movies UK. “I think we’ll find a happy ground.”

Leitch isn’t the only one weighing in on the R-rated raunchiness of Deadpool’s antics. Back in February Disney CEO Bob Eiger said “We see that there is certainly popularity amongst Marvel fans for the R-rated Deadpool films,” and, “We’re going to continue in that business and there might be room for more of that.”

Clearly, only time will tell what’s to come of the foul-mouthed mercenary and his ragtag group of friends, but one way or another we’re definitely looking forward to seeing Deadpool reunite with the rest of his MCU family.

Action Packed Movies and the Books They’re Based on

2019 and 2020 are set to be great years for action movies, and some of the most anticipated releases are actually based on some thrilling, critically acclaimed books. Here are two of the films we can’t wait to see, and the books they’re based on.

Scheduled for release in August this year, The Informer is set to be a thrill from start to finish. Starring Rosamund Pike, Joel Kinnaman, Clive Owen, and several notable others, the NYC set story actually takes its inspiration from 3 Seconds by Anders Roslund & Borge Hellström, a Swedish duo. Originally set in Stockholm, with scenes in Denmark and Poland, the book is a Scandinavian crime thriller that switches between several characters including a police detective, a criminal who has become a double agent, and a public prosecutor.

Despite some production delays pushing its release date up to 2020, Greyhound is set to be nothing short of epic. The wartime drama will star Tom Hanks and Elisabeth Shue, and while it’ll definitely tug at your heartstrings it also promises action packed battle scenes and heroics. Based on The Good Shepherd by C.S. Forester, which has actually been adapted in the past, it tells the tale of U.S. Navy captain Commander Krause, who is caught in the events of World War II during the Battle of the Atlantic. Krause is forced to battle not just enemy forces, but his own past and insecurities.
