'Deadpool 2' Director David Leitch On That Possible Spider-Man Connection

With a great character comes great responsibility.

Thats how director David Leitch feels about taking over on Deadpool 2. Leitch told HuffPost the Deadpool sequel will respect the original film while also allowing him to put his stamp on ita stamp which you can see in John Wick and the directors thrilling new movie Atomic Blonde .

But has Leitch already put his own twist on the Deadpool universe?

In a Deadpool 2 teaser, which aired in theaters before Logan earlier this year, an old man is killed while the titular hero struggles to put his costume on in a phone booth (typical superhero problems). However, following the teaser, fans started speculating that the victim wasnt just any old man: That dude mightve been Spider-Mans uncle, Ben Parker .

As evidence, people pointed out everything from how the victim died to the fact that Deadpool gets excited about the Ben & Jerrys ice cream that lies by the mans body.
