Comic Quote by Paul Wernick

“One of the reasons Deadpool got made and does exist is because we didn't really look at any of the movies before us and try to draw lessons from them. We just tried to chart our own path, and make something that was fun for us, and that was original, and fresh.” quote by Paul Wernick
