Producer Lauren Shuler Donner was present at a promotional event recently for the upcoming Blu-ray release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and -- of course -- she let a bit of info out about the proposed spin-off film based on the character of Deadpool.

Donner was playing her cards pretty close to the vest, but she did let loose with one tidbit: Deadpool will likely be a reboot of the character from his appearance in Wolverine.

"We'd kind of reboot it and make it the Deadpool that's in the comics," the producer told us, while adding that Wolverine costar Ryan Reynolds is still set to reprise the role despite his involvement with Warner Bros./DC's Green Lantern film.

"Yes, he would [return for it]," she said. "I'd like to see Deadpool, so we'll see where we are moving forward on that. I'm hoping to make a movie out of Deadpool."

Shuler Donner also confirmed that the recent Marvel/Disney deal will not affect the status of the X-Men characters being the domain of 20th Century Fox.

"Evidently not," she said. "Evidently they carved out the X-Men world and kept that at Fox, and so we're fine."
