Bleeding Cool presents a video clip of Liefeld speaking at Amazing Arizona Comic Con last weekend where he said,

Liefeld isn’t quite at Mark Millar levels of inflated self-promotion, but he hasn’t historically been a guy whose words I’d always take at face value. But why throw this info out if it has no basis in fact? And studios do shoot test footage for films like Deadpool, so this wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.

Now, whether Deadpool will actually end up being an R-rated film, assuming it is ever shot, remains to be seen.
