Deadpool Video Game Announced, Trailer

After one of our favourite Marvel characters appeared, then was butchered in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine, then a great guest spot in the Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions game, finally, Deadpool is getting his own video game.


Deadpool: The Game is being developed by High Moon Studios (Transformers: Fall of Cybertron) and will arrive in 2013, presumably on PS3, Xbox 360 and possibly PC and Wii U, although no platforms have officially been announced.

In the trailer below, you'll notice it seems that the voice of the Merc with a Mouth appears to be Nolan North, (famous for being Nathan Drake in Uncharted) who also played Deadpool in Shattered Dimensions, and the animated movie Hulk vs Wolverine.

Still Hope For The 'Merc With A Mouth' On The Big Screen

After the ridiculous way he was handled in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, there could yet be help for Deadpool.

Producer Lauren Shuler Donner has been talking up plans for a Deadpool movie

"He was treated totally wrong in the Wolverine film" she told Total Film. "And yes we will redeem him."

Donner said there is still a fair way to go before the film goes into production, explaining "We have a few more things to do, and then it's up to the studio whether we're going to move forward or not."

But Ryan Reynolds is still attached to play Wade Wilson should they get the green-light, and Donner sounds optimistic on that front, stating "I'm pretty excited. We have a good script and a good director."

As previously reported, that director is Tim Miller, the special effect wiz whose previous credits include X-Men and X2.

Comic Book Review: Wolverine/Deadpool: The Decoy #1

Stuart Moore takes two of the most popular characters in the Marvel Universe and throws them together in an abstract, somewhat meaningless situation -- and you know what? It's a brilliant and humorous affair that works.

Company: Marvel

Genre: Superhero Comic

Release: July 2011

Let's not beat around the bush here; The Decoy is a funny comic, very well written by Moore and brilliantly drawn by Shawn Crystal, who manages to capture the flair and wit of Deadpool, whilst also doing a stella job of bringing Wolverine's scepticism of working with the Merc with a Mouth alive.

Now, this isn't the first time someone's tried to pair the two, but it's Moore's writing skills that pulls it off so well, it works. No matter what issues the pair have had in the past, in this story; they gel. 

However, no matter how much of a Wolverine fan you may be, let's get this clear -- Deadpool is the star of this one, with Wolverine taking the rational role, mealy tolerating Deadpool's idiosyncrasies, like a deadly dysfunctional double act, Deadpool steals every scene.

It's not a comic that will go down in history with the likes of 'House of M', or 'Year One', but it's a quirky little romp that will satisfy, even if for just some light reading.
