Producer Simon Kinberg recently explained this:īut I work on all of those films in one capacity or another, either as a producer on all of them and as a writer on Fantastic Four and this movie, so I'm certainly aware of all the different stories we're telling at the same time, and they all are part of a larger fabric now, and so the world of Deadpool, the world of Gambit, exists in a post-X-Men: Days of Future Past post-X-Men: Apocalypse world where all of these stories are the same as our shared history.

The new Deadpool movie does, however, exist within the post-DOFP x-men-cinematic-universe. While Wade Wilson was turned into a character vaguely similar to Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, that specific story has been effectively undone by the events of Days of Future Past. So this is kind of an opportunity to put the most authentic version possible on the screen. We didn’t quite get Deadpool right there. Ryan Reynolds was very interested in doing a real Deadpool movie, after playing such a horrid version of him in the Origins movie, that he personally spearheaded the Deadpool movie, with himself in the starring role: On a side-note: the reason it's the same actor is because the actor is the reason the movie got made.

His mouth is not sewn shut, in fact he's really chatty.He wears his traditional black/red suit.He only has one "mutant" power that we know of.

They are so different I think it's obviously not related, but the major differences: We see none of the story of Stryker building Deadpool as a conglomerate of mutant powers in Deadpool. The trailer clearly shows the movie telling an origin story for Deadpool, that he was sick and used an experimental treatment to get better, and that he gained a healing factor while suffering serious scars on his face. In fact, the primarily motivation for the movie being made was Reynold's desire to "do Deadpool right". Longer answer: Wade Wilson in Deadpool is not the same person that was portrayed in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and will have nothing in common beyond happening to be played by the same actor. “Deadpool appearing in ‘Origins’ is not the Deadpool we are representing in this film, in any way shape or form.” src Short answer: We don't know because Deadpool hasn't come out, but Ryan Reynolds (who was heavily involved in writing/producing the movie) was pretty clear that his Deadpool character is a brand new character:
