Deadpool Is One Of James Gunn's Favorite Comic Book Movies
Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has revealed his top three comic book movies, with Deadpool being one of his favorites. The 2016 R-rated superhero movie starred Ryan Reynolds and was directed by Tim Miller. Gunn has directed for both Marvel and DC, having worked on characters related to the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Suicide Squad.
Despite a complicated development history involving a decade-long wait and leaked test footage, Deadpool went on to become a massive hit for 20th Century Fox. Telling the story of wisecracking mercenary Wade Wilson (Reynolds) and his quest to take vengeance on those who ruined his life, the 2016 film became the second highest-grossing film in the larger X-Men franchise and the third highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, with critics and audiences praising it. While the character's future is now somewhat in flux following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox (Reynolds denies appearing in any upcoming Marvel cameos) one of the MCU's most well-known and highly acclaimed directors has mentioned his fondness for the character.
