Deadpool Creator Rob Liefeld Says Goodbye to Marvel: “I’m a Little Sad” but Retiring on My Own Terms

The artist tells THR why he's walking away sooner than he once expected and shares his excitement for all the "crazy s***" that's set to hit the big screen with this summer's 'Deadpool 3.'

After decades of giving maximum effort as the creator of Marvel Comics standout Deadpool, Rob Liefeld will soon be stepping away from the antihero that has been memorably brought to life on the big screen by Ryan Reynolds. The artist, whose other creations include Marvel’s Cable, appreciates that the comics company emailed him late last year about working on a new, offbeat Deadpool story to come out around the same time as director Shawn Levy’s new film that sees Hugh Jackman make his Wolverine return opposite Reynolds. For now, Liefeld is playing coy about sharing details from his final Deadpool tale but quips, “This would be an expensive story to adapt, is all I’ll tell you.” As for his other comics work, including the new series Last Blood that recently launched, he plans to reevaluate how he’s feeling at the start of next year.
