Deadpool director says Marvel super(anti-)hero is pansexual
Deadpool aims to make history for reasons beyond its R rating: The on-screen Merc with a Mouth will be pansexual.
In a recent interview about the film, due out Feb. 12, star Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller were asked if the film would see “very hypersexualized Deadpool.”
“Pansexual! I want that quoted,” he told Collider. “Pansexual Deadpool.”
“There is some sexuality in this movie for sure,” Reynolds elaborated. “You kinda think 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. Studio hasn’t crushed us with anything.”
Previously, producer Simon Kinberg has emphasized the film’s graphic nature, saying nothing is off-limits for the big-screen Deadpool (an assertion that’s supported by the film’s red band trailer).
“Deadpool is a hard R,” Kinberg said in July. “It’s graphic. Nothing is taboo. You either commit to a truly outrageous boundary-pushing kind of movie or you don’t.”
In the comics, the acerbic antihero is omnisexual, according to Marvel writer Gerry Duggan. The character’s co-creator, Fabian Nicieza, wrote on Twitter in August that “[Deadpool] brain cells are in CONSTANT FLUX. He can be gay one minute, hetero the next, etc. ALL ARE VALID.”

I'm not going to buy it unless he has a sex scene or romantic scene with a guy in the film.

Ryan Reynolds must be truly desperate to finally have his first hit. How the hell does this annoying and untalentedCanadian get roles? Who's he fucking?

Isn't Deadpool dating Death in the comics now? And Death really is "an abstract entity, the embodiment of the end of life in the Marvel Universe, and the opposite of Eternity, the embodiment of the universe." That's the level of omnisexuality Deadpool reaches. I doubt we'll be seeing him gorging on big cocks in the movie.

Deadpool is hosting a Golden Girls block of Golden Girls on Logo this week. The director is not shying away from his pansexual nature.

The difference between bisexuals and pansexuals is that bisexuals limit themselves to human beings.
I do hope they pair him up with a couple of human/oid males, and don't just have him banging aliens.

Enough. This is like Dumbledore being gay or Waluigi being uncircumcised. If it's not going to come up at some point in the canon, why bring it up at all? It's just stupid pandering.

If this is what has to be done so that I can see Ryan Reynolds suck a giant black cock, than so be it.

if Deadpool wasn't scarred like Freddy Krueger from head to toe, I'd love to see that too.

Didn't see either, did he ever do anything in the movies that was obviously pansexual?

Nope.

‘Pansexual’ is the new ‘bisexual’, with the added bonus that it so confusing that people stop questioning altogether.

Not a stretch for Reynolds.

Deadpool has been canonically pansexual for years though, so this isn't really pandering. He's had crushes on men, women, and inanimate objects. It's part of his charm.

There was a part of the sex montage in the first movie where he grimaced like he was taking a throbbing member.

R19 that's because Vanessa was pegging him.

Discussion of Movie-version Deadpool being pansexual dates as far back as 2016.
Did OP check what year it is?

That was my assumption, R20.
