Deadpool spin-off? Tim Rothman talks

MTV spoke to the Fox Chairman, Tim Rothman, about the new Wolverine movie and the possibility of a Deadpool spin-off. Here's what Tim had to say.

“Yes and no, I mean, Deadpool is an integral part of ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine,’ we are in the process now, of doing all the CG work to create that character at an A +++ level,” said Rothman in the IESB story. “It’s a high level endeavor because he figures importantly in the movie, so whether he’ll spin off into his own movie, if that’s what you’re asking, I don’t know the answer. We will have to see.”

Rothman was also asked if, given the recent trend of “dark” superhero films, if “Wolverine” would be taking a cue from “The Dark Knight,” to which he couldn’t comment on (given that he had yet to see the final cut of the film), but assured fans that it’s, “thematically a very dark story, so it is not ‘Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.’”
