Tim Miller, who worked in visual effects on X-Men and X2,  will make his directorial debut on Fox’s Deadpool, Deadline reports.

    The X-Men Origins: Wolverine spinoff, which is expected to star Ryan Reynolds as the merc with a mouth, features an R-rated screenplay by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick that producer Lauren Shuler Donner insists stays true to its comic roots, with Deadpool breaking the fourth wall.

    Donner has described the movie as “a total reboot,” saying, “We’re either going to pretend that X-Men Origins: Wolverine didn’t happen, or mock it, which he could do.”

    So a debut director. Hero of Bust? Fingers crossed, because I know we all have that same deep, dark, fourth wall, desire for the greatest superhero/mercenary movie to ever see the silver screen, be no other than Deadpool.

After constant Green Light, Red Light, The Deadpool movie is again seeing all green. Not only is it a green light but actor Ryan Reynolds, who is to play the Merc with a Mouth, said at Wonder-Con that not only is the movie a "go" but confirms the movie will be a "Hard 'R' Rating".

Reynolds says, "Deadpool is not a villain, he's an asshole," Reynolds tells a fan he doesn't want to discuss the prospects of a Deadpool feature film, saying there are too many unknowns, but he enjoyed playing the character, would have done some things differently, and if they do a movie, they'll do it the right way — "hard R."

When asked about the script and fears of a Wolverine: Origins repeat, the Star replied.
"Worry not, I want it to happen. I just feel like when it does happen, it has to be done the exact right way. I've been a part of it for way, way too long, and it has to be done extremely well. There's a lot I could say about it right now, but there are moving parts that I really want to see to fruition and I want to see them happen, so I don't want to get into and put the cart before the horse, so we'll see. The script is exactly where I want it to be," he said. "[The script is], tonally speaking, perfect."
