Deadpool Cable Or Domino?

[def28]

Easily the characters with the longest running history to Deadpool. It's only a matter of time before they show up. Especially with the rumored X-Force.

They were not in the 2010 draft. But the script has been said to have gone through changes. Specfically the third act, and they can easily take a certain other X characters place.

Add them now? Or wait?

I don't think either of them is needed in the Deadpool movie, nor do I think they should pop up. Not in a first movie based on the character. They would be interested down the line, in case of sequels.

 

[def28]

Personally, I would replace[BLACKOUT] Colossus[/BLACKOUT] with Domino. Start laying down those relationships. More important down the line.

Cable needs time though. Can't rush his entrance. An end credit scene would be cool though.

 

[-JKR-]

Is it really necessary to start laying down relationships for the future? I don't think so. I'd rather have them follow Wade's journey, rather than force any later ties to other groups on us. You can have them pop up when it's necessary.

Deadpool should be a different kind of 'superhero movie.' Less geek-fest, more hard boiled action-comedy.

Of course it is. The script already features a character like that connecting it to the X-Men and they are clearly setting up an expanded universe. It wouldn't be interfering or making it a geek fest when a character like Domino has been in pretty much every Deadpool Vol. She would make it more grounded actually. They already have a character who has no connection to Wade through future stories. I'm saying replace it with someone who is more relevant to Wade. Set up X-Force characters or character within Deadpool instead.

Domino and Cable are major characters in Deadpools world spanning since his first appearance. It doesn't move from the journey when those characters are apart of it.

Regardless, that

Spoiler

Colossus

role is alot of fun role. But that can easily be switched out with someone more appropriate to Deadpools history and films down the line.

 

[-JKR-]

Personally, I don't feel the need for stuff like that to be set up for a possible future X-Force movie.

The

Spoiler

Colossus

role is fun, and it's just that. A fun cameo. And that's completely fine. Why does it have to be something revealing about future movies? Deadpool can still exist in the X-Men universe without having to do anything with them in their movies. And Deadpool can still be recruited by the X-Force without there being any set-ups in his movies.

And by the way, that cameo could very well be cut out entirely, to focus on something else and save the budget for other stuff. Shrink that budget as much as possible, if that allows for an R-rated Deadpool flick!

My opinion: Set ups for future flicks aren't necessary. Focus 100% on the story you're telling RIGHT NOW.

It doesn't, and I'm not asking it to reveal. I'm asking it to use recurring characters for Deadpool. Give me development. Those characters will be in future movies together, no question. They are a part of Deadpools world. They don't have to spell things out for future films. But as an X-Force and Deadpool fan, it makes more sense to introduce characters associated with the one the film is about.

That [BLACKOUT]Colossus [/BLACKOUT]role is not a cameo. He has more lines then all the X-Men films put together and fights the bad guys at the end. He's there in multiple scenes. Plus is responsible for showing the morality of the character. A role the two characters mentioned are constanstly playing with Deadpool. Highly doubt, that role will be cut. Someone less expensive in the effects deptartment will more then likely take it's place.

I'd prefer this too. Plus, I just love Domino and it would make more sense to put her in this one as a way to setup X-Force in the future.

I've read the script, but his role isn't really that influential. He pops up in two action scenes, does some moves, offers some 'Deadpool, you could be a hero' schtick. And that (the hero schtick) could very well be done by another character in the script. Doesn't have to be an X-guy or gal.

It's pretty obvious that person represents a more traditional hero or opposite side of the coin of Wades. It needs to be a mutant or someone with powers/extreme fighting ability or else it loses it's point, action and humor. It's a good comparison for the audience and leads Deadpool just to break what audiences would normally think a character would do.

While not major, it's a fairly significant role and does serve a purpose.

I'd prefer this too. Plus, I just love Domino and it would make more sense to put her in this one as a way to setup X-Force in the future.

Yeah, Neena has always been an unrated character imo. I was really stoked when they put her in the WATX. Just makes more sense to establish that relationship more so then others. There's more room for growth there, which just adds to better story telling. It's bound to happen sooner or later, and can fit the narrative here pretty effortlessly. The film could use an ass kicking female character as well. Outlaw would be another good Female character for Wade to run into down the line.

 

[-JKR-]

It may serve as a purpose, but I don't think it's really needed in the economy of the story. And the audience doesn't necessarily need a counterpoint, because Deadpool is not a superhero and it's very clear he isn't.

That's another thing in the script which doesn't really work IMO. The constant use of the word 'superhero.' It's not needed. It's not what the story's about. Yet that word pops up again and again. It's a bit forced.

Actually it is, cause it's breaking the rules and wil pretty much ask the audience if this guy is a "superhero". Which is why that character in question is important down to the last confrontation.

Deadpool doesn't kill good guys 98% of the time. Heck, he's just fought the main ones for the most part. He has super powers, fights bad guys and does heroic stuff. So where is the line?

That's what makes books like Uncanny X-Force so good.

 

[-JKR-]

I think there are much better and subtle ways of questioning Deadpool's ethics, and whether or not he's capable of being a hero / better person. Something more related to the movie's plot and the character's development, rather than having an appearance of an X character telling him to become a superhero.

 

[def28]

It's not just that character though, there are plenty of other things there. The character is just a piece of the puzzle. The contrast of morality is a good comparison and works into the theme for what the movies doing. That blurs the line on good, bad and antihero even more. It should be doing that. Which is another reason why I think Domino would be a better call. It's not as obvious and the connection to Wade is much more plausible given her team association and how they take care of things as opposed to the X-Men. Just begs more questions on when it's right to kill.

You yourself said Deadpool is not a superhero. I think that is up for debate, the script much like most the Deapdool comics makes good use for the subject. It's what it should do and really one of the best things about the X-Men in general, so many characters that walk the line of good and bad at times. Wolverine, Emma Frost, Magneto, Quentin Quire, Gambit, Fantomex, Cable etc.

But yeah, ultimately to each their own. I'm sure we all have different movies in our heads.

 

[psylockolussus]

If I have to choose, its Domino.

Cable is more complicated to adapt given by his back-story.

 

[Dasher10]

I'd rather save both of them for X-Force and have Cable show up after the credits of both Deadpool and Apocalypse.

I'd also scrap Colossus in the script with Wolverine if Deadpool bridges the gap between DOFP and Apocalypse and if it's set in the present have him be replaced by The Thing. Mostly since I can't really feel it for Cudmore in the role. He's only had one line over the course of three films.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

I'd probay prefer Domino with Cable kept for the main X-Franchise or X-Force

 

[McSqueeb]

I think the

Spoiler

Colossus

role is integral to the feel of the script. It emits this feeling, letting the reader/viewer know that this is a universe in which all these fantastic characters exist, and at any moment one could drop out of the sky and interact with another. It's a random encounter that feels realistic in a way.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Keira Knightley for Domino.


(Could actually work)

 

[def28]

Ha! That would be awesome.

My top pick would be Beckinsale for Domino. But Keira would be great as well.

 

[Rike]

Both, as cameos or minor roles to set up X-Force.

 

[Iceman]

I definitely want to see both but it doesn't have to be in the 1st film or the same film as each other etc. If we get all of them in X-Force even better.

 

[Milla4Prez66]

With an X-Force movie confirmed, the seeds for Cable and Domino should at the very least be planted in this.

 

[Dasher10]

I think I'll just state my top choices for Cable and Domino here.

Cable
1. Steven Lang
2. Michael Biehn
3. Liam Neeson

Domino
1. Eva Green
2. Mary Elizabeth Winstead
3. Olivia Wilde

 

[kasjan]

Cable:

2. Gerard Butler

Domino:
