Former Deadpool writer on the glory of seeing his work adapted onscreen

Joe Kelly’s Deadpool comic-book run is arguably the definitive version of the character and played a major role in influencing future Deadpool directions.

In the video above, Kelly discusses the feeling of seeing his work adapted onscreen for the first time.
