Deadpool Casting [Merged]

[CorporalHicks]

no. nobody actually HAD to do it, you just decided to do it so you could make the excuse about someone having to do it, and in my eyes, you suck at casting

Wow, I'm sorry my post offended you so deeply. Next time I'll think twice about actually giving a **** about what you think.

Dude, it was a Bruce Campbell joke. Fans have suggested him for the role of Storm in X-Men. Calm down.

 

[Radford]

I still cant put a name behind Wade. But im glad if Reynolds is 'out'.

Here is a teaser poster idea for deadpool done by lionhart on the fanart boards:

The grooves in the barrel are not straight! They swirl!

that was really worth quoting a huge high bandwidth, thread spreading, picture about

Yes .. Yes it was.

What a cool image!!!!

 

[Riggs15382]

johnny knoxville sounds good

 

[1039]

Im thinking Sean William Scott out of all these choices. That teaser image is awesome!

 

[1039]

Actually either of the Dukes would be okay for the role (Seeing as both have already been mentioned)

Well, with Wade I've always felt a sense of intelligence about his jokes. His quick delivery, sarcastic wit, and scathing replies.
With Johnny Knoxville and Sean William Scott, I've always felt a sense of idiocy, slow wit, and brutally moronic delivery. I am sure there is someone in the world who is worse at doing FUNNY comedy, but I have yet to see them. These two don't seem to be able to do anything funny besides boobjokes and toilet humour. If we were shooting a film for morons, or better yet, if all the humour in the movie was written by 5th grade boys sitting in a locker room, then yes, either of these two would be perfect, otherwise, I just wish they would fall off the radar screen and never return, hopefully being punished in the meantime for destroying the Duke brothers this summer as well.





On the lighter side, Dane Cook being the most popular Comedian in America for the last 3 years is good, very good suggestion. It really is too bad that Reynolds is doing flash cause he was my first pick a couple years ago when he did Van Wilder, I saw it on Comedy Central and was just awestruck at his attitude... It IS Wade Wilson.

Remeber ya'll DeadPool has been described as "Robin Williams on crack" the boy talks fast, very fast. He is also very sarcastic, completely random, and throws out one liners like a pedophile throws candy on halloween. Johnny Knoxville is good at physical comedy, and stupid humour, it is just too bad that DeadPool doesn't usually utilize either method.

That's why I suggested Chris Evans because he can do the one liners, as well as the physical comedy, as well as the best laid plans going awry.

he's already the torch of human

Yeah but Romijn is both Mystique and Joan. Not to mention one was in heavy make-up and the other, well, didn't. Same for DP. They don't call him Pizza-Face for no reason. Plus you have to take into account that he's wearing a mask.

 

[SuGarRush]

his mask is gonna obscure whoevers face they hire, so good looking faces are unneeded. His comedic timing is the most important part and yeah, I think chris evans is pretty good as well.
You gotta remember though, something that I forgot, DP's voice has been described as "Demi moore like gravel'
Dane cook's may be a lil' high for the role...

 

[Savage]

Hmm. I'm still on the Henry Rollins choice, even if he is a tad old. He's a comedian and he has the voice apparantly. I'd say Stratham but I'm not sure about him as a comedian.

 

[moop501]

...

 

[Riggs15382]

I say knoxville.

 

[Savage]

...

He was talking about what DP should sound like. So I brought up the two people who immediately came to mind that weren't Bruce Willis.

He isn't a tad old

he's more than a tad short.

And he isn't a comedian. He's a punk rock frontman turned "spoken word" performer turned all purpouse VH1 type commentator turned movie review show host.

 

[BT18]

And Chris Evans is still playing college age roles. Isn't deadpool supposed to be an elite government agent or soldier who gets cancer ?

People will see him as too young on both counts.

 

[Savage]

Sure he's not 6'2, but I wouldn't call 5'10 short. He's just average. Besides, most of DP's villains are taller than him anyway.

 

[BT18]

I assume you got that height, 5' 10", from IMDB.

I'm pretty damn sure they're off. Rollins is a shorter guy than that. I've read 5' 7" somewhere, and I think that's alot closer.

This site refers to his height as "Hobbitesque".

Maybe his talent agency had someone flub his height on there to increase the amount of scripts he gets or something.

No way he's of average height.

 

[SuGarRush]

The way Rollins is built, I'm gonna guess that BT18 is probably closer to the truth. He just has this look about him, I'd say he's short.
