The developers behind X-Men Origins: Wolverine want a go at the Merc with the Mouth and that's just a fraction of what Dan Vondrak, the game's project lead, told us about his future with mutant based videogames during an interview yesterday.
When asked which character his team would love to tackle next, Vondrak replied:
"That's very easy, that'd be Deadpool. We're huge fans of Deadpool. When we made X-Men 2, we made sure to put Deadpool in there and give him plenty of little Easter eggs and conversations. We love the character. His smartass attitude. So that'd be the guy we'd probably go after."
And how does the dev feel about the Hollywood-ized Deadpool in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine film?
"What can I say, I'm a guy who likes the original stuff the most. I like my Deadpool the way he is in the comics," said Vondrak. "I wouldn't necessarily say that's exactly how he's used in the movie and eventually the game. It's a cool concept for sure. It's just maybe not the first choice I would have made."
So if he got to make a Deadpool game, we could hope for something a little more traditional? "Absolutely 100%," Vondrak said. Can you hear that? It's the sound of a million comic book fans breathing a sigh of relief.
A comic nerd in his own right, Vondrak happily answered our many fanboy questions. Like how do you kill Wolverine if you can't cut through his adamantium spine? "Drown him." What villain can we expect in a possible X-Men Origins: Wolverine sequel? "Silver Samurai." And what was the most goretastic sequence that didn't make the final cut of the Wolverine game? "One of the original ideas was Wolverine throwing himself into a 737's jet and taking it down. And that ended up being kind of what we did with the Sentinel battle.
