It can be hard when you're an artist to see something you've created being given to someone else, but Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld isn't holding a grudge against the upcoming movie. In fact, he told fans lucky enough to see advance screenings that he thinks it's "fantastic," and features a version of the merc with a mouth that impresses even him.
"Here’s the deal: 25 years' worth of Deadpool. This movie comes out 25 years to the day we published him at Marvel and you couldn’t get a better gift if you’re a Deadpool fan. I have seen 25 years of stories come and go," he said. "And Rhett [Reese] and Paul [Wernick] will tell you, back in 2009, I freaked out when I read the screenplay because Deadpool has never ever been better than he was in that screenplay, and when I saw this movie six weeks ago I was like, 'How much of this script will carry?' and what you just saw is the best version of Deadpool I have ever experienced in my life."
