Deadpool sequel to start production in autumn

A sequel of the the popular superhero movie will start production next autumn.

Following the success of the first film –which became the highest-grossing R rated film in box office history, making $745 at box office- Ryan Reynolds is to reprise his role as the superhero.

According to sources informing movie news website Heroic Hollywood, a deal has been closed and production of the second filme of the franchise is expected to start this fall.

‘Deadpool’ producer Simon Kinberg recently hinted time-travelling mutant Cable – Deadpool’s friend and foe in the comic books – may feature in a possible follow-up film.

He said: "I think there are some stories that could be R-rated. I don’t know what they are, I mean I think the mainline X-Men movies have their own tone, which is a more operatic tone. It’s more dramatic, it is more PG-13 in a way. ‘X-Force’ I could see being R-rated, and who knows?"

Domino, a member of the ‘X-Men’ offshoot X-Force, is also rumoured to be making an appearance in the upcoming Marvel Comics motion picture sequel.

What’s more, Reynolds has also admitted making an X-Force film is his number one "priority".
