Deadpool in X-Men Origins : Wolverines

No he's not holding a fork, its his adamantium encased bone.

There is a new movie coming out this year, called X-men Origins : Wolverines. The movie will be coming out this May, but according to the ads on TV its coming out 29th April,anyway just be sure to catch it at your nearest cinema, which probably mean if you are in Kuching, its either Star Cineplex or Riverside Cineplex.

The movie basically tells the back story of how Wolverine became Wolverine, his relations with Sabretooth, his healing powers(which is his original ability), what the Weapon X program is, his boring past, and just maybe how he made his hair stay that shape all the time, no seriously, how does he keep his hair like that? But if anyone has watched the first and second and third X-men movie or if you are one of those hard die fans of X-Men comic books, you'd know that Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton from a Canadian government project known as Weapon X.

These are the heroes which are set to appear in the movie since it is the poster. The second guy on Wolverines left(which means to your right) is Deadpool(played by Ryan Reynolds) notice the guy on Wolverines right(your left), if you haven't notice it yet, he is Sabretooth(played by Liev Schreiber) and if anyone still do not know, Wolverine is played by Hugh Jackman.

It is not pronounce as Weapon 'Ex' but Weapon 10th. In the project of Weapon X, there is a series of human weapons in the 10th series of the project but if I'm going into detail, it would take a while to explain. So in short, Wolverine is one of those human weapons, along with his half-brother Sabretooth(does anyone know he is Wolverine's brother?) and one of my favourite anti-hero/mercenary known by many as 'the merc with a mouth' Deadpool! And some other character that I don't think is important. Nah just kidding.

The movie will also include the young Cyclops, which I think is stupid because according to the first movie of X-Men, Wolverine never met Cyclops, but I guess the movie maker somehow have a way to overcome this fact(maybe memory erasing, or Cyclops having a very forgetful face) and also according to the trailer that I have been watching in YouTube for like a hundred times or so, it will also include the Blob, Emma Frost, Gambit, Agent Zero and of course Reverend Stryker a.k.a William Stryker a.k.a General Stryker, and the role of a teleporting mutant played by will.I.am. Speaking of that, the roles will be played out by Hugh Jackman, Liev Shreiber, Ryan Reynolds, and so much more people. The movie is directed by Gavin Hood, and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It is highly recommended by me that you should watch this movie if you really like X-Men, and/or if you just like Hugh Jackman, or if you are just a fan of Deadpool! Unfortunately there is one guy who won't be appearing in the movie.

This guy: Yes! This is the guy who killed The Human Torch and Ghost Rider,
by cutting their heads open and taking their powers.
(At least i don't have a fork sticking out of my hand.)
