Let it be known that sometimes, illegally leaking footage* to the Internet leads to good things.
After fans worldwide went nutty over leaked test footage for a Deadpool movie last July, it certainly seems like film executives were listening.
Why? Fox has announced that on February 12, 2016, a Deadpool movie will finally be released.
Director Tim Miller (who was involved with said footage) is still attached to the movie, while rumored star Ryan Reynolds – and the hoped for R rating – have yet to be confirmed.
Stay tuned, this one could get interesting.
