Donald Glover’s Deadpool Animated Series Isn’t Happening

Posted on by

It received a straight to series order from FX but even that couldn’t stop the animated Deadpool series being written and produced by Donald Glover from going off the rails.

The network released a statement that the series isn’t going forward as is due to “creative differences.”

Due to creative differences, FX, Donald Glover, Stephen Glover and Marvel Television have agreed to part ways on Marvel’s Deadpool animated series,” they said in their statement. “FX will no longer be involved with the project. FX and Marvel have an ongoing relationship through our partnership on Legion, which will continue.

The show was to air on FXX and was supposed to be 10 episodes written by Donald Glover and his brother Stephen Glover. It was originally announced in May 2017 and was supposed to debut in 2018.

Deadpool is a pretty animated character, so it’s no surprise he’s actually getting animated in a new television show created by Donald Glover and Stephen Glover and will run on FXX. The animated show has been given a straight-to-series order with a 10 episode first season that will likely debut in 2018.

Donald and Stephen Glover will serve as showrunners and executive producers for the series. Marvel’s Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory are executive producers. The untitled series is produced by Marvel Television in association with FX Productions and ABC Signature Studios for FXX.

It should be no surprise that this is happening after the success of the live action film featuring the character which earned $783 million worldwide off of a $58 million budget and has a sequel coming out in 2018.

Donald Glover is already part of the “Marvel family” as he’ll appear in Spider-Man: Homecoming out this July and his fellow Atlanta actor Zazie Beetz has been cast as Domino in the Deadpool film sequel.

It’s unknown who will be providing the voice of the character.
