Will Disney Ruin The Deadpool Franchise?

The R-rated Deadpool that is notably included in the Marvel-branded X-Men movies now has a new future staring at it should the acquisition of the 21st Century Fox goes through. Even though the whole idea of Disney buying 20th Century Fox once appeared like a dream that would enable the X-Men to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe; the prospect now seems like an inevitability. Despite the fact that there are a number of concerns over what will become of the two firms if the deal succeeds, one concern appears to be at the forefront of several fans. The popular Deadpool franchise might come to an end.

Here is one reason why this might happen; Disney brand is family-friendly, and it won't be able to translate the foul-mouthed and violent mercenary to the big screens the same way Fox has been able to. This, of course, is in disregard to the fact that Fox once ruined Deadpool in its X-Men Origins: Wolverine appearance.

I think Deadpool will be fine if they allow creative freedom to whoever makes it. That’s what made the OG Deadpool movie so great. It was made by people with the character in mind, not what will make them money. Which in turn made a lot of money. If they mess with it too much for the sake of adding it somewhere in the MCU then the quality MIGHT suffer. I think it’ll be ok though.

I thought I'd be happy with Disney buying back the rights to X-men and other characters but they flat out just bought Fox...soon they'll be a monopoly and probably the only major movie studio.

That’s not good if it happens. Companies need competition to bring out there best products.

Pulp Fiction is a Disney movie FYI

No. Disney has owned many other studios with R movies. Disney owned Miramax for many years making all sorts of movies that were not typical Disney. I assume they will use the FOX branding to help separate company perceptions but still use the properties how they see fit.
