User blog:ARTaylor/Jon Landgraf on Deadpool's Tone

FX CEO Jon Landgraf spoke on behalf of Deadpool. Despite working on the Han Solo Star Wars film, Donald Glover and his brother Stephen are hard at work on the series. "They had a staff working in London while Donald was shooting Star Wars. He wrote the second season of Atlanta before London, had a staff in London, he's coming back to shoot Atlanta season two and simultaneously we'll be animating Deadpool. It'll be really different from the movies. It's animated and they're live-action, but also it has a different tone and editorial voice as evidenced by Donald and Stephen Glover, who have their own voice and tone. We really wanted to make something that was distinctly different from the movies."

While the series has been officially picked up, no release date has been announced.
