Given the recent success of Deadpool, it would be the understandable that the studio would want to increase the budget to make it bigger. But will the money change everybody’s favourite mercenary? Not if the writers have their way.
In an interview with Collider, taken before the films box office success, the writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick explained:
“We don’t want $150 million to go make the next movie, that’s not Deadpool. Deadpool doesn’t lift cities up into the air or battle aliens coming down to earth, that’s just not Deadpool. So we’re happy in that little small budget range that they have us in; we don’t wanna blow this next one out.”
Whether the films success will lead the studio to up the budget remains to be seen, but it should be noted that the first film was made on a budget of $58 Million and that seemed to do just fine. It’s hard to see what an increase to the budget could add, besides a couple more X-Men to occupy that big mansion that is.
