Move over, Hugh Jackman.

Ryan Reynolds - who plays the wise-cracking Deadpool from X-Men Origins: Wolverine - is getting his own spin-off movie.

In a project currently being developed by 20th Century Fox and Marvel Comics, the mutant assassin will regain the ability to shoot off his mouth (which was sewn shut in Wolverine), according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Reynolds has talked before about wanting to do a solo spin-off.

"I've made no secret about my desire to do a Deadpool movie, but if you're going to do it, it would have to be 100 percent faithful to its origins," he told MTV News. "To stay as true to the source material as possible is the only way to do it, and I say that because theres nothing more interesting than the source material for Deadpool. There's no reason to deviate from that."

Can you guess which shirtless hunk this is?

Meanwhile, a separate Wolverine sequel also is in the works, focusing on a samurai storyline that was introduced in the bar scene at the the end of the current blockbuster.

    Deadpool was so much better looking BEFORE being altered, that was scary! I love Ryan Reynolds, best of luck to him. I would also love to see a movie about Gambit. I can't wait for the next Wolverine...YAAAAY!

    Not to knock him because he did a good job, but honestly I'd rather a spin off of Gambit.
