Deadpool Casting [Merged]

[Savage]

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.

Ouch. Damn. Well that throws him out.

 

[War Lord]

he's already the torch of human

Since Deadpool is always behind a mask, people wouldn't associate him with the Human Torch much, imo.

 

[Kingfish]

i still think statham would be the best choice. after seeing him in snatch and the italian job i think he could pull off the comedy.

Did you listen to him in Cellular when he tried to sound like an LAPD officer? Worst disguising of a British accent I might have ever heard.

 

[muscaremy]

i like statham for the build but dont know bout the comedy and chris evans i woulda picked if he wasnt johnny storm but like stated above dp is crispied and wears a mask so u never kno

 

[SuGarRush]

statham I love as an actor, does great straight faced comedy. Unfortunately, DP doesn't do that either.
JOhnny KNoxville is wrong because his humour is slightly less intelligent than an inanimate object. for those of you too thick to understand what I saying here I'll use small words.
Johnny Knoxville is a moron and he is not funny
there that should do it.
Jason Statham on the other hand is a talented actor, and he has the build for DP, his problem is that he just isn't funny enough either. Remember, Robin Williams on crack, this is what we are going for kids.

 

[BT18]

Even though I don't think he'd be a good Deadpool, props to Jason Statham for his relatively huge success for Transporter 2 this weekend.

We can enjoy both him and Dane Cook in the upcoming "London", along with Chris Evans, Jessica Biel, and Joy Bryant.

 

[GraveDigger]

The only guys I could see pulling off a good Deadpool are:

Dane Cook.

Ryan Reynolds.

Sean William Scott.

Johnny Knoxville.

Johnny Knoxville though doesn't have the right body shape, The other three are in great shape. I find that Ryan Reynolds is more of a sarcastic comedian. Dane Cook and Johnny Knoxville are more physical comedians. And Sean William Scott is a timing comedian.

But when it comes down to it... Who's taller? Deadpool's about 6'2.

 

[ghost113]

And what, Stratham doesn't have fans as well? Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Transporter, Cellular, Italian Job, people will recognize him and they know once this guy's in it it's gotta be good. QUOTE]

funny thing is they won't know he is in it. he is wearing a mask the whole film.

 

[GraveDigger]

Remember, Robin Williams on crack, this is what we are going for kids.

Robin Williams + Speed = Robin Williams' Stand-Up.

Deadpool is sarcasticly demented and A.D.H.D, With a hint of masochism.

But name recognition goes a long way. Not only with getting the project into production in the first place but with the people that it draws in.

 

[Crowley9]

Who was it that mentioned Sam Rockwell somewhere? Doesn't seem like a bad choice. His Zaphod Beeblebrox was the best thing in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Really wish I had the issue, I believe it's issue # 2 or 3 from DP's '9 series.
He describes himself as Robin Williams on Crack.

I've always taken it to mean Robin Williams' Speed induced Stand-up with crack on top of that.

 

[GraveDigger]

Oh, He did? I thought you were making a joke.

 

[BT18]

It takes real comedic talent to be like that and be funny, not annoying.

 

[Hellion]

Whats the info on this one? I haven't really heard any new news on this one. What studio is it at? Whose up for the role?

 

[citizenpain]

yeah, i WISH.

 

[superman-mos]

I was just wondering....well thinking that instead of Ryan Renyolds playing Deadpool how about Dane Cook.He is a great comedian,could probally pull off the action with some training(like reynolds with blade).I think he would be a good choice,Reynolds will probally be the Flash anyway.

 

[Kable24]

But can he act? Just because he's a comedian doesn't mean he can hold a 90 minute movie on his own.

 

[skorponok]

STIFLER FOR DEADPOOL!!

 

[WeaponZ2]

STIFLER FOR DEADPOOL!!

Hes my choice.

To hell with who is casted! Who the hell is writing, directing, creating effects, and producing? A Deadpool movie is a great idea, but so was Elektra, Punisher, and Daredevil, and we all know how those turned out (two-hour T.V. movies). Let's focus on the problem of imagination and the lack there of. Will Deadpool face any notable characters or will he confront the A-typical mob/ thug generic bad guy that hollywood is so fond of? Also, will it be a comedy/ action? Usually when they try this route, it turns out to be funny... unintentionally, and that's no good. Plus, the S.O.B. kills people! He has an edge of insanity, and I don't mean anti-hero, but trigger squeezin' calamity! But enough, what do you think? Are my concerns valid? Or just preproduction anxiety?

 

[spidey-dude]

actually i loved punisher and liked dardevil movies

 

[cpfunk]

Could you repeat that?

 

[HighVoltage]

The Punisher is a Great Comicbook Movie filmed with the " Old School " Action Movie Style, like Clint Eastwood´s Dirty Harry or Charles Bronson´s Death Wish. The Punisher is a Great Action Flick.

DareDevil is One of the Best Comicbook Movies Ever, you needs to check DareDevil Director´s Cut, DD is also a Great Comicbook Movie.
