‘Deadpool’ Movie: Creator Rob Liefeld Reveals Leaked Test Footage Was Shot 3 Years Ago! Why Did It Leak Now? Is It Confirmation Of The Full Movie?

The "Deadpool" movie is definitely a fan favorite! Based on the huge fan reaction from the leaked test footage. The creator of Deadpool, Rob Liefeld, shares information on the footage and the implications of the leak.

Speaking to the Daily Superhero, Liefeld reveals that he was invited to observe the entire process of filming the footage. He also notes that it's older than we thought. He described this sequence to Las Vegas Comic Con a year ago, but it's much earlier than that:

"I'd also like to note that this was filmed 3 years ago this summer and that Tim and his crew have upped their game considerably beyond what you see here. Tim is an uncredited director on the pre-credit sequence for Thor: The Dark World, the sequence that introduces Maleketh(sic) and the battle against Odin's Father, that whole sequence is stunning and was created on short notice. I can only imagine how amazing Deadpool would look 3 years later with all of Tim's advancements as a director. "

Was he surprised that the leak took more than 2 years to happen? Other leaks spill out in a matter of weeks:

"No, I'm not surprised, studios take leaks very seriously and they can carry a severe penalty for all involved. I've seen the footage about a dozen times over the years, but there is no recording allowed. You sit, you watch, you exit. I'm un-certain how exactly the footage was obtained and released but I hope it doesn't pose any further delay on the film. "

The fan reaction to the clip was off the charts. Did he expect that from a popular character like Deadpool?

"I'm quite certain that no one anticipated this level of excitement for this reel. I'm so happy for Tim, Rhett, Paul and Ryan. It's even more amazing considering how grainy and dark the footage is. That is not a high quality clip. I've only seen it in HD on a big screen. The overwhelming enthusiasm for such a low quality clip is impressive."

On the timing of the leak-was it a coincidence that it came out right after the last day of Comic Con?

"No idea whatsoever. You'd have to say that whoever timed it really scored a direct hit."

And of course, the million dollar question, is this leading to the full length Deadpool movie?

"That is for Fox to answer."

Considering the impressive effect of the footage, Fox's answer might actually change. This is something all comic book and movie fans in general would like to hear.
