We may be getting our first big screen queer superhero. It appears that Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool likes the ladies and the gents.

 

In the actual comic book universe, Deadpool is known to flirt with pretty much anyone.

 

“Deadpool is whatever sexual inclination his brain tells him he is in THAT moment," explained character co-creator Fabian Nicieza. "And then the moment passes. Not trying to be dismissive, but readers always want to ‘make a character their own’ and often that is to the exclusion of what the character might mean to other fans. I’ve been dogged with the [Deadpool] sexuality questions for YEARS. It is a bit tiring. He is NO sex and ALL sexes. He is yours and everyone else’s. So not dismissive, but rather the epitome of inclusive."

 

Tim Miller, the director of the film, added: "Pansexual! I want that quoted. Pansexual Deadpool."

 

Even Reynolds has hinted that his character's sexual fluidity may make it into the film. 

 

"There is some sexuality in this movie for sure," he said. "You ... have moments when you’re shooting where you think, ‘This is, uh, a little excessive. This is a comic book movie. Are we gonna get away with this?’ But so far so good."

 

Of course, with three months before the movie is released it is very possible that any same-sex activity, no matter how minor, may be left on the cutting room floor. But who knows? Maybe we'll get to see Deadpool taking it up the bum from Hugh Jackman's Wolverine! (Oh to dream!)

 

Here are some scene ideas for any Deadpool sequels.
