Funko Movie: New Details Leaked on Deadpool's Role


WB is set to make a movie based on the popular Funko POP! figures, and the film promises to bring characters from IPs all over pop culture. One character that's been confirmed for the movie is Deadpool and we have a few details on how he'll be appearing in the movie.

According to insider Daniel Richtman, the Merc with the Mouth will be some kind of prisoner when we meet him in the film. He writes, "In the Funko movie Deadpool is caged in a post-apocalyptic Mad Max environment for some reason."

We don't know what that really entails with the full story, but it's possible that we could be introduced to this whole animated world of Funko, which just so happens to be populated by everyone's favorite bobbleheads. My original guess was that it was going to be like The LEGO Movie where the Funkos are actually just acting out some story made up for them by an unseen "player." Hopefully, WB manages to come up with a more creative story.

Besides Deadpool, the Funko movie promises to bring in a lot of different characters, all coming from the company's extensive portfolio of licenses. Other characters confirmed to appear are Wonder Woman, Hello Kitty, Hellboy, and Darth Vader. There's also going to be cameos from the Care Bears as well as the ponies from My Little Pony.

Hopefully, we get a significant update on the Funko movie soon. If emojis can manage to get a film on their own, it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to make a film about one of the most popular toys today.

No release date has been set for the Funko movie.
