Deadpool 2 Film Slated For Spring 2018

A month after its first teaser trailer, Deadpool 2 is still quite a ways away. But at least now we have a release date for the irreverent superhero film.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox (who still holds the licencing rights for X-Men and X-Men-related films), has set a June 1, 2018 release date for the film. The film will once again star Ryan Reynolds (who is also a a producer) as Wade Wilson.

Fox did not announce any other details regarding the film. However, we do know the first film's director, Tim Miller, will not be working on the film, replaced by David Leitch (who co-directed the first John Wick and directed this year's Atomic Blonde).
