Deadpool movie WILL break the fourth wall, heck yeah!

Fans of Broadway will appreciate this posting. The new Deadpool movie will indeed break the fourth wall, just as the comic book does. Ryan Reynolds confirmed it to Empire this week. What is breaking the fourth wall? Simply really; the characters talk directly to the audience. Imagine all the characters in a box, well they "break the fourth wall" that is facing the audience. There were, and still are, plays on Broadway that incorporate this into their plays.

The comic book was the first of its kind to do so. Deadpool actually goes further than that. He acknowledges that he is a comic book character and sometimes he even references being a Marvel Comic book character specifically. To fans of the comic like myself, this is very exciting news. This means the Fox studio is taking the source material very seriously and hopefully doing a better job in pre-production than Wolverine did. Here are a few snippets from the interview with Reynolds:

The studio's working on a script and trying to find a director. The main goal is to make sure it stays close to the source material. I’ve always been a fan, at least for the last eight or nine years. I feel a bit of validation because I knew going into Wolverine that there’s a huge fan base for this and I don’t think anyone else did.
