"Deadpool, Donald and FX - the perfect fit for the Merc with the Mouth!," said Marvel TV chief Jeph Loeb. "We're thrilled that our relationship with FX that started with Legion continues with what is sure to be a groundbreaking show in adult animation."
FX original programming president Nick Grad said: "Donald Glover is an incredibly gifted and versatile artist who'll bring the untitled Marvel's Deadpoolseries to life with the same intense, singular vision as his breakout hit Atlanta. With the success of Legion, we're looking forward to again partnering with Marvel Television to create a series that is bold, striking and entirely original."

It comes at a hugely busy time for Glover, who goes by the stage name Childish Gambino. He was roles in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming, the as-yet unnamed Han Solo film as well as the remake of The Lion King.
Debuting in 1991, Deadpool has since shot into the big ranks of Marvel superheroes - or in this case, anti-heroes.
The 2016 film, starring Ryan Reynolds, was a total smash, earning $647 million worldwide. A sequel is currently in production and is expected for release on June 1st 2018.
On top of that, a new X-Men film will be released on April 13, 2018 titled: X-Men: The New Mutants.
