Rob Liefeld talks the past and future of Deadpool (Comic Con 2016)

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

We caught up with DEADPOOL creator Rob Liefeld at Comic Con again this year and got a chance to discuss the success of the film after making it's first big impression in Hall H a year ago and now turning into a worldwide phenomenon. Rob talks about the expectations prior to the film opening, the cultural impact before and after, and where DEADPOOL is headed next, including his original graphic novel, Deadpool: Bad Blood. We also discuss the DEADPOOL sequel and how they follow that success. It's always a great chat with Rob, who has a high level of energy and geeky insight on all things pop culture.

Giving Rob one of our Deadpool-themed JoBlo shirts was kind of surreal and super cool.
