Speaking at a press junket for his movie The Proposal, Ryan Reynolds was enthusiastic about early plans for the Deadpool movie, which he thinks will be a standalone feature.

"Without saying too much, I can't imagine that there's gonna be any tie-in to the Wolverine movie at all," Reynolds said. He wants to make Deadpool "as close to the comics as possible... I'm really happy, in these early talks, that the studio is as obsessed with making it as close to the comic book source material as possible."

Within the Marvel Universe, Deadpool is unusual for 'breaking the fourth wall' and acknowledging his status as a comic book character. Reynolds hopes this will continue in the film. "I would like to make him self-aware; I'd like to have a bit of a pop-culture air going on throughout the film"
