Our X-MEN mini-series continues with the Ryan Reynolds passion project, 2016’s Deadpool!

Beginning development in the early 2000s, Ryan Reynolds had been trying and failing to get a Deadpool solo film off the ground for over a decade when 2011’s Green Lantern was released and almost ruined any chance of it being greenlit. But after a test footage leak created a fan furvor for the film, Fox finally relented and we recieved an R-rated Deadpool movie featuring the most faithful translation of an X-character to ever make it from the comic page to the silver screen.

Joining Nick and Scott to talk about modern romance, breaking the fourth wall, and tiny baby hands is writer Preeti Chhibber (Marvel/Star Wars).
