There are times through the process that you just think, "Is this all worth it?" It's very, very difficult to get a movie made, and it's very difficult to get a movie made that turns out well, and that fans love, and that the marketing gets right.

I think the minute that people start looking at Deadpool and saying how can we recreate that is the minute they've already failed. I think everybody needs to be pursuing their own their course.

Marvel and Disney and all the other superhero movies have to stay within this box and this is an opportunity to jump outside that box. To be the apple among oranges, and really embrace it. So, in terms of us getting what we wanted and what we originally wrote, we largely stayed consistent to that.

We have written a draft of the script in every calendar year since [2010]. Quite honestly. Our Deadpool file is... full, to capacity.

Doctor Killebrew was also in the script at one point, and for creative reasons we ended up cutting him.

It's rare that a movie generally considered a popcorn type movie, gets recognized among such serious, great fare.
