‘X-Men’ Writer and Producer Simon Kinberg Talks ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) exploded onto the scene and dominated popular culture in unprecedented fashions, Simon Kinberg was meticulously telling his own Marvel stories for Fox.
Beginning with 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, Kinberg was involved in the production of every X-Men film as either a writer or producer.
Among the stories that Kinberg helped tell were X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, and The New Mutants. Additionally, Kinberg worked as a producer on Deadpool and Deadpool 2, which shares a universe with the Fox X-Men movies.
Deadpool Will Soon Join the MCU
After almost two decades of working parallel to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kinberg and the characters he helped develop will soon join the MCU for Deadpool & Wolverine.
So, what does the Deadpool & Wolverine executive producer think about the franchise’s jump to the MCU?
“So I’m just gonna say, I’m such a massive fan of everything that Hugh [Jackman]’s done with Wolverine. I think I made five movies he was in, in one form or another, as Wolverine and I’m very excited for the film,” he said.
“I know that for him, and for Ryan [Reynolds] and for Shawn [Levy], exploring some aspects that perhaps we haven’t explored before, I would imagine is appealing.”
The Possibilities Are Endless
While it sounds like Kinberg is keeping the plot of the upcoming Deadpool installment close to the vest, he also sounds excited about the possibilities that it holds.
In addition to its titular stars, Deadpool & Wolverine is expected to see the return of a slew of Fox X-Men characters. It is no wonder, then, that Kinberg and fans alike are excited for the third Deadpool film to hit theaters.
Deadpool & Wolverine will debut in theaters on July 26, 2024.
