The film was recently given a February 12, 2016 release date (see "'Deadpool' Movie Gets a Date"). It will be part of Fox’s version of a Marvel shared universe, managed by Simon Kinberg (see "'Deadpool' Film To Be Part of Shared Universe").
Deadpool will be directed by Tim Miller from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
