Deadpool Director Talks Sequels & Adding Cable To The Mix
After its tremendous run at the box office, ‘Deadpool’s’ director Tim Miller has spoken out about the follow-up and how to incorporate Cable.
Speaking to Comicbook.com, Miller was quick to play down how a sequel would, as is often the case, be bigger and better.
“I don’t think bigger is better,” the director said. “You tell a story that’s organic to the character. ‘Deadpool's’ world doesn’t mean you have to go bigger. I don’t think the fans of the movie like it because we had big effects."
Anyone who has seen ‘Deadpool’ will be aware that, yes, it uses a fair bit of CGI but doesn’t opt for big expensive set pieces the likes of ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ or ‘Man of Steel’ do.
Miller believes ‘Deadpool’ won over fans because "it had a lot of heart” and “had a lot of humor.” And also because it gave us “a main character that’s different than anything else that was out there.”
When asked about the addition of time travelling mutant Cable, he was keen to set the record straight by adding a political parallel to his thought process.
“Yeah, you listen to it, but it’s like if you’re a Republican or a Democrat. If you have an idea of what you want government to be, then that’s kind of what you hear — to support your own ideas,” he explained.
“I have an idea of what Cable should be from reading the comics,” he confirmed. “So, someone in Des Moines, Iowa, may have a different idea of Cable from reading the comics. I may not like his idea. I might read it, but I may not do it. I would say I listen to all of them, but I don’t look to that to guide me. I look to the comic and why people like these characters.“
While his comments don’t particularly clear much up about what Cable will be like in this version, it’s a strong bet that Miller will remain faithful to the comics while adding tweaks for his upcoming cinematic appearance.
