Deadpool Casting [Merged]

[cerealkiller182]

Dane Cook is just as silly as Deadpool. He is perfect for the role, but I would be happy with Reynolds as well as a few others.

[raziel1919]

:up: Ryan Reynolds would be perfect!!

[MrSelfDestruct]

All we really need for Deadpool is someone who can say funny things and act when the mask is off. Look at the Spider Man movies. Toby didn't need to be in the costume for more than a couple of minutes and at the end. Deadpool could be completely voiced over by someone who can actually be funny and a stuntman in the costume.

[Katsuro]

I liked the idea of Jason Lee as Deadpool. Jason Lee is awesome.

but Willem Dafoe was in the costume as much as possible because since you couldnt see his face he wanted to be very animated. So you need a stuntman who is very animated (almost like Jim Carrey) or throw the actor in the suit everyonce in awhile which i dont think is out of the question.

Plus, DP should only be shown without a mask once at most not counting pre-scarring scenes.

[U.S War Machine]

Put Johnny Messner as Deadpoolhttp://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/columbia_pictures/tears_of_the_sun/johnny_messner/tearspre3.jpgHe's from the movie Hostage and Anacondas-The Hunt Of The Blood Orchid

Jason Lee would rock as Deadpool. :up:

Though I'd like to see him as The Joker. Of coursee, the role should got to Bettany, but Lee would be awesome as well.

I'd like to see Cook get Deadpool, personally.

DeadPool is not a handsome straight laced leading man type like this pogue, do you even read the comic?

:down

[deemar325]

I've noticed some very limited polls lately of who should play Wade Wilson aka DeadPool, so I'm gonna ask who should wear the red tights and katanas?

[BizarroAids]

Ryan Reynolds. My first and only choice.

[Nivek]

I thought Deadpool was a smarta$$ witha face like ground beef?

I vote for Cook, he's a relative unknown, and has a twisted humer about him

Besides, I would rather see Reynoilds as wally West. Or in a perfect world, Micheal Rosenbaum put on the Scarlet suit.

[Katsuro]

I voted Jason Lee, and Bruce Campbell should be on there.

DANE COOK dammit

[skorponok]

Dane Cook Dammit Arrrrrrrrrgghhh

[BT18]

bump due to presence of multiple *****ty duplicate threads.

[ghost113]

Fillion is a good choice doesn't he have a pretty sarcastic humor to him.

[WallCrawl]

Fillion is a good choice doesn't he have a pretty sarcastic humor to him.

He did as Capt. Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly. It was pretty dry though, as that was a necessity for the character.

[ghost113]

what was the name of the spinoff movie of firefly I might download it.

[Savage]

Serenity.

[ghost113]

thanks

[WallCrawl]

Not a spin-off really, as it was tied directly to the series.

[ghost113]

oh ok

[KniteYxSpydeY]

Ryan Reynolds, hands down. I just love his wit. I kind of wish he were Spider-Man instead of Tobey Maguire.

[ghost113]

thats a kickass pic of hannibal king.

[deemar325]

Whatever you guys like.

[deemar325]

No but I can sure proton cannon your aaa in marvel vs. capcom :mad:


Heh, I can snipe ya from over 500m between the eyes.

:up:

[Denny67]

I like Ryan Reynolds but I could also see Bruce Willis in the role of Deadpool.

[U.S War Machine]

Owen Wilson, Ashton Kutcher, and Kal Penn!?

Heck naaa

['N']

owen wilson has prove din behind enemy lines he can do action and wedding crashers he can do comedy and drama so hes my 1 ppick

[deemar325]

I like Owen, but I don't think he has that sick wit Deadpool has.

[cerealkiller182]

I like Ryan Reynolds but I could also see Bruce Willis in the role of Deadpool.

Not now. Definately in the 80s though

[The Apatow Crew]

I'd probably have to say either Ryan Reynolds or Seann Willam Scott.

[deemar325]

I say poopoo.

[Denny67]

Not now. Definately in the 80s though

I don't see why not. he is still in good shape with the ability to get into better shape. He will be in makeup so the fact that he is a little older not is irrelevant.

[Denny67]

One nobody has brought up... Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Yeah, I suppose. But I would think they would go for a young energetic new blood rather than a trained proffessional who has gotten older.

...huh...Well the Rock is funny but I don't consider him Deadpool funny...Besides, Deadpool is not supposed to be TOO big a guy (like that bust indicates). He's like...UFC fighter big. Not "my neck is twice the size of my head" big. The Rock is like...T-Ray sized. :p Good thinking though.

I'd say Dane Cook for DP. Jason Lee being my second choice.

I hear ya and thanks for the nod.

A couple things to think about though:

1. Actors are only as funny as the script is.
and
2. Wolverine was never 6 feet tall in the comics but fans accepted Jackman so I am sure a bigger DP could be workable on film.

The cool thing about casting Deadpool is there are a ton of viable candidates. :)

[cerealkiller182]

I1. Actors are only as funny as the script is.
and



Not true. Many comedians and comic actors are very good at ad-libbing.

[Donnie Darko]

I'm sure I'm alone in this, but I would not go see this movie (or probably any movie) if Dane Cook was the lead.

[LadyVader]

Well, that is an interesting suggestion. Olyphant can be very funny, and also very intense.
Only problem I have is that by the time the movie would come out he'd be 40 or over 40.
I'd like Deadpool to be in his late twenties - early thirties, but heck, I'd take experience over youth any day.

[Eddie Dean]

But he looks younger than 40.

[Savage]

Yeah, I thought he was like...26 when I saw that picture.

And he has the looks for pre-DP Wade. The guy WAS pretty vain.

[LadyVader]

If you're talking about the picture on IMDB it's pretty old. From the second Scream movie I think.

I was reading on an earlier post that a Deadpool movie might not draw a crowd? Come on Blade made how much money? He was a crappy junk character that Spider Man and Ghost Rider and how many others used as their punching bag in the comics? He was NOTHING in the comics. Until those movies were made did he ever get any good in the comics, up until then he'd show up in the pages of The Amazing Spider Man chasing Morbius trying to kill him, fight Spider Man who would stop him...get his ass handed to him BADLY by Spider Man without Spider Man breaking a sweat then take off on his wimpy ass bike before Ghost Rider pummelled him into oblivion again in another crossover where he tried to bring justice to evil to Ghost Rider. It was laughable, well I laughed anyway. I'm sure that if a character as abysmal as that and as secondary and weak as that can make big bank than Deadpool could make big bank as well.

As far as casting goes it really is just the voice you are looking for. It doesn't matter who you cast under that mask. You're just looking for a body that fits properly on screen. You do all the voice overs in AV after the footage is all shot. Cast a stuntman, you think it doesn't work? Think again, talk to David Prowse....oh wait WHO? Oh ya that's Darth Vader from the Classic Star Wars triliogy, but what do people remember?! The presence of the character being forboding and the VOICE behind that unmoving mask. So does it work...as the Classic Triliogy proves; damn right! I love the originals FAR more. But that's just me.

I say pick the body, cast the voice. As far as that goes you could cast Mark Hamill as he is an amazing voice actor. OR go with your comedian fav's like Dane Cook or whatever. My 2 cents.

I don't know. First of all Blade was one of the very first comic book based movies from this new wave, along with X-men. Back then the genre was still mighty fresh, and people were very interested and curious to see how a new comic based movie might look. Furthermore, it was a story about a guy fighting vampires. So now you have general comic book fans, vampire lore fans and Wesley Snipe fans all interesed in your movie.
The plot was very basic. A good guy fighting bad guys that happen to be vampires.

It's not going to be so simple with Deadpool. Number 1, people now have certain expectation from a comic book based movie. It really has to be larger then life other wise people are going to claim it's boring. look what happened to Punisher. :(
Secondly, Deadpool is not and has never been a hero. he is a morally ambigous character at best. Think about it. Insane mercenary types make for great back-up characters, but in all honesty, I don't think Deadpool could carry a whole movie. He works in the comic books, but if he were to transcend to the big screen we would get a seriously toned down version of the character, unless he would have a small role in another superhero movie. Quality over quantity my friends.

I'd really like to see Wade without his mask on and covered in scars and marks, which means we need a dedicated actor willing to not only wear an uncomfortable suit, but also stand through hours of make-up.

I think DP would do real well in a movie like Bourne Identity or Supremacy. The would be gov't owned merc who goes on the lamb or fights back or both. I also think Blade did so well because it didnt try to be a comic movie, most people were surprised it was based on a comic book.

[Freedon Nadd]

Another movie where the mask works with only a voice is V for Vendetta. I mean call me crazy but I thought that as long as a character with GOOD dialogue with good body work can go a long way. Even with prosthetics wouldn't matter who the actor is as you couldn't really tell. Even if you could I suppose you could just have whomever is the voice just stand in for the makeup scenes and then back to the body double.

All I'm saying is it wasn't Wade's LOOKS that made the character it was his attitude. But yes you are correct he wasn't a hero he was an anti-hero much like Punisher but more vocal and cynical and WAY more impromptu.

Like I said just my opinion, but I honestly don't think it matters whether you see him or not. Or if you do it's so minimal of an impact that won't matter overall.

[LadyVader]

If he is just a side character in another movie, I agree, it doesn't matter. You just have to make him as cool as possible in 15 minutes.

But if he has a whole movie dedicated to him... then yes, showing him without the mask is essential to the character. To carry a 2 hour movie we most explore every side of Deadpool, including the cancer, which I feel is very important to his story.
The V for Vendetta movie on the one hand is far more serious then a Deadpool movie would ever be, on the other hand there is no need to truly empathize with V, because he can be quite ruthless. Furthermore he has a cause, he doesn't need to take off his mask because he is an idea. Evie is the one you are feeling for.
Deadpool doesn't have the luxury of having a cause and representing an ideal. If he's jsut a guy that kills people left and right while making stupid jokes, we need to know why he got that way. The mask needs to come off.

[The Apatow Crew]

I'm going to go with Timothy Olyphant.
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/7554/timothy019fw.jpg (http://imageshack.us/?x=my6&myref=http://www.imageshack.us/transload.php)That's a good choice. he's a very underrated Actor. Loved him in Go,The Girl Next Store and Scream 2.

Agree, i think there is a way to show the cars without actually showing his face. And Weapon X (or something like it) needs to be involved because it is a source of lots of pain and hate from DP.

Could always go with the image inducer or whatever he had made for him lol then he could walk around and we could get ALL the actors that we mentioned to come play him for a scene! That would be funny, but would take away from his violent nature. That being said I think Johnny Knoxville could pull off a decent Madcap, the Deadpool vs. Madcap fights were some of the funniest stuff I have EVER read. I remember crying I laughed at one of those issues so hard with those two in it.

I imagine the rock as a lighter version of Luke Cage, but defintly not Deadpool.

Dane Cook for deadpool

[LadyVader]

The Rock is not a bad suggestion IMO. Hes big enough, he does have the flexible eyebrow, hes not afraid of acting like an idiot (or else how do you explain Scorpion King?) and after Southland Tales flops he will be starving for a good role to get him back in the spotlight. This could be that role. Its crazy, its zany, it involves lots of action and even a little drama.

[Sabretooth]

Dane isn't buff enough for DP.

[The Apatow Crew]

Dane isn't buff enough for DP.A little weight lifting and a strict diet anything is possible.

[LadyVader]

Dane isn't buff enough for DP.

Deadpool has never been about strength. He relies on agility and reflexes more then he relies on brute force. Get far enough away to get your gun out and start shooting people. And you dont need to look like youre on steroids for that.

[Sabretooth]

Deadpool still needs to be in shape. Dane Cook is way too thin.

[LadyVader]

no, I doubt anybody ever even had the intention to make it. Like i already said, i don't think Deadpool can carry a 2 hour movie. He'd be a kick ass supporting character though.

[ghost113]

Actual if you can find his origin and maybe a good villian any character can pull off a 2 hour movie and the thing about dane cook not being big is just stupid,there is a thing called weight training.

[gvcool2]

I wouldn't generally think of this guy as the conventional look for deadpool, but Adrian Grenier (vince from entourage) really plays the type of guy who people love well, he can be cheeky and stern equally well

[gvcool2]

then surely with the suit on adrien greiner could play him??

[LadyVader]

Adrien Grenier just never struck me as the zany, crazy, overly neurotic type. And i don't think he can pull it off quite frankly. Sure, maybe he's funny, but not in a "hahaha, I'm gonna kill ya *giggle*" sort of way.

[gvcool2]

adrien grenier or vince?

[BT18]

mods shouldn't be able to attatch a ridiculous 2-bad-option poll to a thread I started with over 10 decent options. Now people will think I made the poll despite the fact that this thread was originally titled "Now that Reynolds has ruled out Deadpool" or something to that effect.

And even though I introduced the idea of Dane Cook, it was before he became the definitative mediocre comedic whore of this generation.

The first part of his "Jessica trilogy", London had the least potential to suck, and it did utterly. And all he had was a supporting role in that, which he wasn't very good in. Employee of the Month and Good Luck Chuck have an even high probality of awfulness on a much higher scale and profile.

Yeah, threads merged with polls generally bite the big one. I think that in the time that I've been here we've had about three different polls appear in the main Iron Man thread.

Seeing as how you started the original thread, BT18, I'd suggest you make a new thread with a better poll with some of the names mentioned and have that thread merged with this one; be sure to ask that your poll be the one displayed.

[gvcool2]

Who's Vince?

Vince he's character in entourage, because it seemed like you were basing your opinion about him or his acting ability off something, and if you meant that he doens't seem zany in entourage that would be because the role doesn't require it, but i feel he could pull it off, i mean who would of thought topher grace would get the role as the suicidal villain in spider-man but thats the beauty of actors, they're trained to become other people

[ShadowBoxing]

Really for me it's not just his random nature but Dane Cook's voice that really makes me feel he IS Deadpool. I realize and agree he is a mediocre comedian, but on top of that he has DP's personality. On tourgasm he is incredibly competitive, seems to be decent with a paintball gun, and has a very bipolar personality.

[FireandIce213]

as much as i think Dane Cook would be a perfect Deadpool, I also think that the movie should at least delve into Wade Wilson's past and reveal what he did look like before the Weapon X operation as well as what he looked like after. Dane Cook would be perfect for Deadpool pre Weapon X and with some make up disfiguring his face and appearance he'd make a perfect one for Deadpool after Weapon X.

[ghost113]

Yes, Piven has that sarcastic funnyness about him.

[FireandIce213]

Yes, Piven has that sarcastic funnyness about him.

Yes but dont u think he's a little effiminate? Thats not a knock on him but still...Deadpool has a lot of toughness to him, he's really like a comedic version of The Punisher.

[BT18]

Jeremy Piven is overrated (not as overrated as Entourage itself though) and also considerably dwarfy, for Deadpool anyway.

[LadyVader]

With Deadpool is has to be more about the voice and the atitude then the body. Sure, at 1,75 m Piven ain't exactly tall but Deadpool's main weapons are stealth and agility anyway.
I don't watch Entourage but I love piven in everything else he has done, starting with Cupid. That's where I really fell in love with him. :)

showed comedic skills in lock, stock and snatch.

still say hes perfect.

[ghost113]

don't forget the italian job

[gvcool2]

he's a rubbish actor, I enjoy him in his movies because he always plays the same character, but he can't act out of a wet paper bag...let's get an actor with some decent chops

[Max J Power]

still say jason statham. looks perfect for the part.

showed comedic skills in lock, stock and snatch.

still say hes perfect.They could easily make the movie without Deapool taking off his costume.

Regardless, Statham is a pretty good choice.

[gvcool2]

his voice is too rough and stern for a character like deadpool

[ghost113]

I still say sean william scott or dane cook, I would say johhy knowville but i want him to play the creeper and he is way too skinny.

[XwolverineX]

Ryan Reynolds.

RR = WW

[LadyVader]

Jason Statham - horrible choice. His american accent sounds like crap. He isn't zany, he's deadpan at best. However, if they'd do a different, slightly more serios, BRITISH version of Deadpool I think he'd be good.

Ryan Reynolds - Goyer has his eye on him for Flash.

Jeremy Piven - For me. JP = DP. Now, while he's still in his early 40's.

[gvcool2]

Jeff Goldblum (back in his prime)

[Max J Power]

I still say sean william scott or dane cook, I would say johhy knowville but i want him to play the creeper and he is way too skinny.
Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville could too easily get annoying after awhile.

[Rac]

Hmm, I thought Deadpool was black. Apparently not? I could be messing it with Spawn.

[ghost113]

yeah you might be.

[NoirMan82]

adam Baldwin from firefly

I have to say I really like Baldwin. He hasn't had a great role since Full Metal Jacket or X-Files. He's funny, but big, physical, and a bit scary, alot like Deadpool.

[gvcool2]

but like jason statham is too gruff in voice and those famous one liners do not sound as cheesy when said by a rough voice

[Iglius]

Its gotta be Dane Cook...


The D.C.!!!

[The Punisher]

Ryan Reynolds gets my vote.

[Eddie Dean]

How about Bradley Cooper?

[ghost113]

the guy from wedding crashers?

[Eddie Dean]

Yup, that's him.

[ghost113]

possibly but i will always see him as that a-hole from Wedding crashers?

[cerealkiller182]

Cooper is definately a potential choice.

[ShadowBoxing]

How about Bradley Cooper?
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6199/46883fz3.jpgGuy Gardener and no one else.

[Gotendbz-2]

I say Dane Cook.

[Sebastos]

Dane Cook, for me too. Althought there might be more candidates.

[Mr. Smash'n Bash]

Jason Lee.

[bored]

Hey, I hadn't thought of Lee. That'd be good. I'm still a supporter of Reynolds for Deadpool, though.

[Elisha Cuthbert]

I don't care who plays dp as long at they get his character right. He needs to be canadian, have add, ocd and bipolar, and fight like a badass...i expect a bunch of small intense fights in inclosed spaces while crazy music that has nothing to do with anything plays in the background. He needs to be a hitman, and the film needs to contain Weezel, Big Al, Siryn or copycat and T-ray as the villain. Whoever plays him i'll still be happy.

[Elisha Cuthbert]

Also, Deadpool doesn't have to be a big budget origin movie, I would rather they not explain his origin at all and rather have him narrate the story and introduce himself in the beginning and spend the whole movie in the suit. I would also like to make it a small budget smart action comedy with extremely smart and well rounded characters. As the movie continues we learn more about Wade's past through the villain of T-ray and his interactions with other characters such as Copycat.

[ghost113]

that would be cool

[Elisha Cuthbert]

Okay, now i always thought it was weird that Timothy Olyphant was cast as Agent 45 in hitman, and he's doing these action movies now, cause i always thought of him as this indy guy. Well anyway, i was watching Go, and i was thinking, this guy is forboding, badass, and hilarious at the same time. I dont know if he'll be good for an ultra serious role like Agent 45, but the dude would make an extremely badass deadpool, and he could be a deep actor to for it, and not just to lame comedy like dane cook. Timothy Olyphant could just deliver the crazy, the action parts, and the funny parts about deadpool quickly. The more i think about it, the more i like him for the part. Personally, when i realized this, i thought it was the best casting idea i'd come across since Christian Bale for Batman, but i might just be getting ego. Anyone else agree with me?

[Roughneck]

Dane Cook isn't in good enough shape

[Nathan]

Then he just has to get into shape.

[Elisha Cuthbert]

No, not dane cook. The only time i actually find him funny is when he does stand up, his movies make me sick and he's not a very talented actor. He doesnt have that range of emotions that Deadpool needs. That's why I want Olyphant...real bad. :o

[Savage]

I'm sticking to Adam Baldwin on this one. He has the voice, the size, he's played a similar character before (Jayne of Firefly and Serenit) just without the craziness (which I am positive he can pull to a T).

[Elisha Cuthbert]

My complete cast for a Deadpool movie:
Timothy Olyphant - Deadpool
Bea Arthur - Blind Al
Mia Kirshner - Copycat
Jason Bateman - Weasel
Greg Kinear - Head of Weapon X
Christopher Eccleston - Taskmaster
Chris Tucker - Agent X

[Savage]

...Chris Tucker as Agent X? :confused:

[LadyVader]

Taskmaster's british?

[Katsuro]

Adam Baldwin is easily the best choice yet. Reynolds and Cook lack the right voice, and they both honestly annoy the hell out of me.

[LadyVader]

Ryan Reynolds has a great voice. He can really sell some jokes just by lowering or hightening his tone which is great if you never get to see his face.

[Maestro_90]

the problem with reynolds is he plays the same basic character in every film. He always comes off with good timing sure but it feels like he's just reading a script it doesn't feel spontanious, Watch his films and you'll see what i'm mean Van Wilder is the only role he has ever played. And Cook just has that "look I'm crazy and sporatic just like jim carrey" vibe sure he used to be funny but the last time he made me laugh was Waiting. sorry look elsewhere.

[LadyVader]

Doesn't feel spontaneous? He basically ad-libbed all his jokes in Trinity. He's a funny, charming fellow.

But he can also be dramatic. Look at his scene with Parker Posey in Trinity, when she threatens him about turning him back into a vampire. That is a pretty decent dramatic moment and if you look into his eyes he seems genuinely freaked out by the idea.

Also I think he was not at all terrible in The Ammityville Horror. The movie was terrible but he managed to become pretty creepy by the end of it.

[Dark Donnie]

He was really good in Smokin Aces....if you doubt his dramaic skills watch that

Ooh, another pick I hadn't considered that could really work. Only thing is I don't know how he'd work as a martial artist.

[Savage]

Stunt double. The guy's wearing a full head mask. No-one will notice. That's the great thing. You can get someone as big as him and not even LOOK like him and no-one will tell the difference. Besides, he's pretty good at hand to hand. Don't know about martial arts but he can do fight scenes pretty well.

[SlyGuyTtjn]

While I love Dane Cook, I cannot picture him beating someone up, let alone a vigilante.

EDIT: Is this movie FOR SURE going to happen?

[Elisha Cuthbert]

Go Hal Sparks!!!!!!

[Mr. Thing]

What about...Mark Wahlberg?

[Elisha Cuthbert]

What about...Mark Wahlberg?Marky Mark only works in the hands of a talented director. Seeing as this is going to be a marvel movie and the type of people they usually hire to direct these things...no.

[Sebastos]

Timothy Olyphant for Deadpool!

[shapeshifter]

Go Hal Sparks!!!!!!

:up:

[Sugarculted]

Adam Baldwin, please.

[Matt Murdock]

Jeffrey donovan would make a good dp, after seeing him in Burn Notice.

[LadyVader]

^Nice avvy. :)

[Matt Murdock]

Thanks

[7alex]

I Choose Dane Cook!

[bored]

Adam Baldwin, please.


Not bad, actually. Jayne and Wade would get along.

[count_nickula]

[Indy]

reynolds

[citizenpain]

ryan reynolds could pull it off. if we ever do get a deadpool movie, i'm sure it won't be the epic of the century so somehow like reynolds could work. someone suggested jason lee, that's good too. i'd prefer him over reynolds actually. how about stephen dorff?

[PhantomDave]

Technically since he'd have the suit on all the time, and even if he didn't his face would be meatloaf...they could cast someone with simply a good voice for the part. Even still I'd say Reynolds is a great choice. But Dane Cook? God no....:down

[Jick09]

oh no Cook...
Reynolds is still the best choice here

[Spider-Vader]

I said it before I'll say it again. Bruce Campbell IS DEADPOOL. Problem is he probably would never play the part.
Nah, he should be Mysterio.

I'd like Dane Cook, because I have no idea who the other guy. We really need a stand-up type guy. Willis would be good as Cable.

I would kill everyone in this thread for the news of a Deadpool movie.

[Jick09]

Nah, he should be Mysterio.

I'd like Dane Cook, because I have no idea who the other guy.Reynolds was in Blade Trinity...you might check... We really need a stand-up type guy. Willis would be good as Cable.lol
I think you're saying Bruce Willis?
I'm reading Cable & Deadpool right now. Bruce isn't the type of guy to be Cable. besides, I wouldn't like to have Cable in the first Deadpool movie. maybe in the third. he'd probably steal the show...

[Spider-Vader]

Yeah. If he was already in a Marvel movie why would he be in two?

[Jick09]

I don't know...I think he said he'd like it.
so did David Goyer.......I think...

[Loki]

Dane Cook

[Lord Doom]

I gotta go with Dane. He's got that personality that just flip-flops and he can also be a complete a-hole. Ever seen "Waiting"?

[CorpusBlack]

i doubt rick moranis is in a position to turn down a paying job.

He semi-retired to raise his children due to the death of his wife. He had enough hits and I'm sure he's getting a fair amount of royalties not to have to come back if he doesn't want to. The dude's not starving.

[CorpusBlack]

Dane Cook is sh-t.

[Hound89]

Scarlet Johanson as Siryn

[Jick09]

and who to be Sandi Brandemberg?
I'd like to have her as his manager...like in the comics.

[mr. peasant]

I know this sounds odd, but what do you all think of Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. The Rock as Deadpool? He's got the build, and I think he can do the zaniness too.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Yeah, Ryan Reynolds is the ideal choice. I use to be a Dane Cook for Deadpool fan but every movie he's been in has bombed at the box-office and he himself isn't really much of a comedian. Sorry, maybe it's me, but I find him to be overrated.

Adam Baldwin is a nice idea. I think though I would want something like what Dan Castelanta did with Deadpool in the "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" videogame. Someone who can switch off being one minute serious, the next crazy, the next funny, and the next someone clearly off his medication and just ready to fire some pistols and blow **** up. If we can find a guy like that for DP than great.

I don't know who could play Cable though. I was thinking Clint Eastwood but to me he's Bruce in a "Batman Beyond" film. Bruce Willis with white hair wouldn't be a bad Cable.

[cerealkiller182]

John Kassir was DP in MUA. Also the voice of Cryptkeeper.

Im still for Dane Cook. I get it, people dont like his standup. But he has exaggerated, very animated movements and a scatterbrained way of talking which is DP to me. And i dont care if it doesnt become a blockbuster, DPs definitely an acquired taste. Plus I think DP only has one film in him anyway

[NinjaTurtleFan]

John Kassir was DP in MUA

XBOX 360 version it sounds alot like Dan Castelanta.

[cerealkiller182]

Thats the same version I have, but it is John Kassir. It does sound more like a less "ghoulish" cryptkeeper (if that makes sense). I love the voice for DP too btw.

[Jick09]

I don't know who could play Cable though. I was thinking Clint Eastwood but to me he's Bruce in a "Batman Beyond" film. Bruce Willis with white hair wouldn't be a bad Cable.well...supposing they'd make it a trilogy, I think Cable would be better for the last movie.

[Dr.Doom]

My heart actually skipped a beat when i read the news. :o

[Bubonic]

Whats all this talk about Rick Moranis and Henry Rollins?!

Well the recent speculation doesn't put much to rest, but I rather see Reynolds play Deadpool then waste his time on a lame-o hero like the Flash.

[Mentok]

Great news that Ryan is playing Deadpool in the Wolverine film. I REALLY hope he gets his own film's now... And a damn video game too.

[LadyVader]

It's not official yet!

[Devil]

Great news! It's not confirmed but...great news, yeah!

[Reikowolf]

I think Marvel really wants Reynolds. I even remember reading the civil war comic where he mentions that he looks like ryan reynolds dunked in acid

[cerealkiller182]

Wasnt that at the very first arc of Cable and Deadpool?

"I look like someone drew magic mark all over Ryan Reynolds"

[Reikowolf]

yeah something like that, not in the mood to go through the marvel digital archives for that quote.

Here it is. It was in the 2nd C&D issue.

[Spider-Vader]

I want a Deadpool movie sooooooooooooooooooo bad now.

[mr. peasant]

Hmm, just wondering: For a Deadpool movie, how would they make him 'break the fourth wall'? What if they did it reality-show-style, with Wade making comments as if he's in an interview? Don't think anyone's attempted that in a film before.

[cerealkiller182]

No breaking the fourth wall too corny for film.

[LadyVader]

I could see it but it would have to be insanely subtle.

[Jick09]

Great news! It's not confirmed but...great news, yeah!now it's official

[Nathan]

I would love for Deadpool to break the 4th wall, but because of the small fanbase, the audience would probably think his jokes are just out of place.

But it would be cool if Deadpool would say something like "Guess who isn't getting another Movie!" and then assaults Wolverine with his Katana.

that'd be good.
I also always pictured DP and Logan facing each other and Logan asks:
Logan: what do you want?
DP: my own movie!
Logan: ARE YOU CRAZY!?

this wouldn't really be breaking the fourth wall for the general audience...but the fans could get that

[Nathan]

That'd be great too. :up:

Wolverine beats the stuffing out of Deadpool only for him to annoyingly reappear a moment later.

Wolverine: For the love of God!
Deadpool: Actually, I've met God. When he got thrown out of Reed Richard's wedding.

[Jick09]

lol
something like that, too

[Dr.Doom]

This movie take place in the past long before the FF had there accident :p

[Nathan]

That doesn't bother Deadpool. He's all knowing, he can see the future as well. :cmad: :o

[Bubonic]

Looks like Reynolds is confirmed!
http://marvel.com/news/moviestories.2667.6_More_Added_to_the_Wolverine_Mo vie_Cast

[SWAT]

Now... We want pics of Reynolds as DeadPool! :p

[LadyVader]

Yeah, let's mess up his face! :)

[The Man of Steel]

I Voted Reynolds, but I think Ray Park should play him

[Metamorpho1977]

I have this weird idea, what about Steve Carrell for Deadpool? For some reason, when I read Deadpool, I hear Steve Carrell's voice in my head.

[chiefchirpa]

Don't you hear the news?

Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool. In Wolverine, and in further spin offs.

[Metamorpho1977]

I've heard, but I just think Steve Carrell would be better. That's just my opinion.
