The Merc With a Mouth got his solo movie and there’s less than one month left until everyone gets to see it on the big screen. But the luckiest of the fans had the chance to see the full movie during a special event. The movie was received with positive reactions from fans, and that speaks for the success of the production.
But what is more exciting than the creator of the character (Rob Liefeld) saying that the adaptation of his creation is the best ever. Here’s what he told the fans at the event in Los Angeles:
“This is my second time seeing it and it was even better than the first time. That sounds like something Deadpool would say. But, here's the deal: twenty-five years worth of Deadpool. This movie comes out twenty-five years to the day we published him at Marvel and you couldn't get a better gift if you're a Deadpool fan and I have seen twenty-five years of stories come and go – and Rhett [Reese] and Paul [Wernick] will tell you – back in 2009 I freaked out when I read the screenplay because Deadpool has never ever been better than he was in that screenplay and when I saw this movie six weeks ago I was like, ‘How much of this script will carry?’ and what you just saw is the best version of Deadpool I have ever experienced in my life.”

Furthermore Liefeld expressed his admiration towards the whole crew behind the movie, concluding that the film is “fantastic.”
“Ryan [Reynolds], Paul [Wernick], Rhett [Reese], Tim [Miller], Simon [Kinberg] – the entire team – T.J. [Miller] – I mean, that movie is fantastic and, yeah, I'm supposed to be at home writing, but I wouldn't be up here taking the shots and – what Rhett said – for seven years, droning on Twitter and encourage you guys to not give up the fight if this movie wasn't as great as it is and it is – it's fantastic,” Liefeld concluded.
Deadpool debuted on the silver screen in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and it was a crushing disappointment for the fans. By far, the reactions appear to be positive.
Deadpool will be released in cinemas February 12, 2016 followed by X-Men: Apocalypse on May 27, 2016. Gambit is scheduled for 2017, Wolverine 3 on March 3, 2017, and an X-Men film on July 13, 2018. The New Mutants is in development.
