Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick
Rhett Reese has revealed that he will delve into the past of Deadpool as he pens the script for the movie.
The character made hit big screen appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine last year, played by Ryan Reynolds, and will now be given a spin off movie.
Reese is currently working with Paul Wernick on the project while Reynolds is expected to reprise the role.
Speaking to io9 the Reese said: "Ultimately, I think despite how fun he is in the 'now', we really did want to explore how he became that way and why he became that way.
"We definitely delve into that. He's a warped character, and that's why he's so fun to write.
"Various writers have tackled him and I think that particular club of people have always enjoyed being able to just go places with a character that you wouldn't be able to go with any other character. Because he's completely crazy. That's the joy of writing him.
"You don't have to place any limits on decorum, or what might pop into his head, what reference he might make to pop culture. He'll go anywhere."
Deadpool is expected to hit the big screen in 2012.
