Deadpool was a huge success for 20th Century Fox when it released last year, raking in great reviews from fans and critics as well as becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. Now, Deadpool 2 is gearing up for its big premiere, and it looks like Deadpool comic book creator is expecting the superhero movie sequel to kick ass next ear.
Liefeld had his own panel at the LA Comic Con last weekend, and during his discussion with fans (via Comic Book), the comic book writer openly put his bet on Deadpool 2, saying that the sequel to the Merc with a Mouth's (Ryan Reynolds) very first R-rated superhero movie would beat Lucasfilm's Solo: A Star WarsStory.
"Deadpool comes out June 1st, are you aware of this? Deadpool 2. I am betraying myself doing this. My nine-year-old self is going to come back in time and smack my ass…But Disney is delusional and is opening 'Han Solo' a week before 'Deadpool!' And they are going to get their asses kicked! Seven days later; mark my word, skeptical man! [points to audience member] Mark my words: Han Solo, get the hell out of the summer, 'cause seven days later, an army of mercenaries is coming to send the Falcon into hyperspace! Disney, I apologize in advanced, but I'm telling the truth: Deadpool is going to kick your ass."
That's a pretty presumptuous claim from Liefield. Sure there's a lot of excitement building up over Deadpool 2 ( and it doesn't help that Solo's had some directorial shake-ups) but the Star Wars franchise is massive and powerful. It's going to be an interesting fight between Deadpool 2 and Solo next year. Let's wait and see who wins.
Solo: A Star Wars Story hits cinemas May 25, 2018, while Deadpool 2 follows close behind on June 1, 2018.
