Ever since the official Deadpool 2 announcement was made, Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have talked about the sequel like they’ve been working on it, but news just broke that apparently someone else is now tackling the script: The Martian’s Drew Goddard.
It’s not exaggerating to say that Deadpool was one of the biggest superhero movie successes last year.
With a performance like that, it’s no wonder 20th Century Fox greenly a sequel.
Thanks to its comedic originality, not only did it receive a lot of accolades (including Golden Globe nominations), but it also collected over $780 million worldwide off a $58 million budget.
