After a long and arduous wait, 20th Century Fox debuted two versions of the much-hyped Deadpool trailer earlier this week, sending the vying masses into a collective tailspin as fans picked apart every blood-red frame of Tim Miller's impressive sizzle reel.

Now that Phil Lord and Chris Miller have helped set up a bona fide franchise at Warner Bros. following the surprisingly excellent The LEGO Movie, both talents will change gears and produce the numerous sequels and spinoffs.

If Legendary whipped up a storm with its announcement of the franchise-launching Kong: Skull Island at last year's Comic-Con, then it effectively had moviegoers on the edge of their seats when it confirmed that Michael Keaton and JK Simmons were attached to the creature feature.
