“Deadpool,” which premiered in February 2016, was a box office success and already has a sequel in the works.
The movie grossed over $800 million off of a $58 million budget.
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, the movie features Ryan Reynolds as a disfigured and unstable mercenary, Wade Wilson, who was subjected to an experiment that had hoped to cure his cancer by receiving a regenerative healing factor, but instead ended in a disastrous result.
Donald Glover who is popular for the 2016 breakout series, "Atlanta," is already part of the Marvel family as he will star in the upcoming "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
No voice actors have been announced for the animated series.
