'Deadpool' Movie Release Date Delayed? Will Be An Origin Film According To Director Tim Miller

"Deadpool" movie helmer Tim Miller confirms that the antihero flick will be an origin story and that the release date of the film is still locked in on Feb. 2016.

Miller sat down with the Bootleg Universe Pitch Show and revealed the challenges him and his team underwent to capture and maintain the character's signature attitude from comic books.

"We come into Wade Wilson before he becomes Deadpool," Miller quipped. "All the ingredients are in place but they haven't been mixed. We wrote the story in such a way that we get a really great introduction to Ryan [Wade Wilson] and what he cares about, and why he does this."

For those who don't know, Miller is known better known in the industry as a visual effects. In the interview, he revealed how he used his special effects background as an advantage.

"The original plan was for it to be an R-rated movie which means you know it can't have a giant budget that some of the other films did. So I knew we would have to be clever about it," he said, excited about the "Deadpool" movie release date. "Coming from a visual effects background I'm not afraid to use it, I'm not afraid to have visual effects play a major role and be up front and center. We would do a lot of visual effects to enable us to get that big budget feel, but still contain things."

"I always feel like it looks false, currently in a lot of superhero movies. You can see the wires and it kind of pulls me out of it. That's not how they would move."

With its release date in mind, 20th Century Fox's "Deadpool" movie stars Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson a.k.a. Deadpool, Morena Baccarin (Homeland) as Vanessa Carlysle a.k.a. Copycat, Gina Carano (Haywire) as Angel Dust, T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley) as Weasel, Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones) as Ajax, and newcomer Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

The "Deadpool Movie" is slated for a Feb. 12, 2016 release date.
