For heaven's sake, just pull the plug on this worthless idea of a film already.

Before doing all these side projects FOX should kind of fix their X-Men series first... with a reboot if possible or treat Deadpool as the start of a rebooted universe...

They should stop making X-Men movies and concentrate ONLY on X-Characters.

And apparently the brain activity of the average Fox executive.

Shouldn't surprise no one really. Fox has repeatably shown to have no real interest in making this movie. Vague statements like "hoping" to start filming soon are never a good sign.
Wouldn't surprise me if we soon get the news the movie has been completely iced and even if it's still made chances are good this might become Fant4stic or Wolverine Origins level of bad with all these delays, staff changes and rewrites.

How good could this possibly be with Channing Tatum in it?

[LordLeviathan]

IMHO there's something VERY fishy in this production ("normal" my ass). Isn't it actually the second this happens (only countin the director)?

[Redvector]

And at one point Tatum was going to walk away as well but they got him to stay on.

That's too bad given Edge of Tomorrow was one of the best action movies in years.

Sad. I hope Tatum will find a better director.
