Last week the internet exploded when a leaked and then high quality version of the Deadpool test footage smashed online starring Ryan Reynolds. Co-writer of the Hard-R script Rhett Reese and Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld were exacted that the world finally got to see this masterpiece by up and coming director Tim millers (Thor: The Dark World per-credit sequence).
Well, some confusion then set in if FOX was really testing the waters on a Deadpool feature film starring Ryan Reynolds after so many delays and speed bumps regarding the rating. Well, Liefeld has revealed that FOX is seriously considering a Hard PG_13 Deadpool and not the R rated version that Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland) wrote back in 2010:
So much mis-information from the mis-informed in regards to Deadpool film. The version under review is a PG-13 version, not an R....

The brilliant screenplay has been equally brilliantly modified.... R is not a blockade any longer.

Also Rhett Reese himself has dropped a behind-the-scenes still from the test footage that shows Ryan Reynolds in a full motion capture suit for the shoot.
