Deadpool Casting [Merged]

[bored]

Okay, here'd by my cast:

Deadpool: Ryan Reynolds (hey, when a choice is good, it's good)
Blind Al: Bea Arthur
Weasel: Vince Vaughn
Killebrew: John-Rhys Davies
Siryn: Alicia Witt (though it'd be wierd having her as two completely different people in two different movies)
T-Ray: Ethan Hawke (why? i don't know. i just said so, that's why.)

 

[BT18]

Reynolds stated pretty clearly it was a role too much like Hannibal King and therefor he doesn't want to do it. The title of the thread WAS something like "Now that Reynolds is out, who ELSE could play Deadpool" before it got merged with all the other Deadpool threads.

Anyway I heard Reynolds really wants to do the flash.

Dane cook it's the other best choice for a character like deadpool

 

[Zoken]

What about Ryan Reynolds?

 

[taskmaster]

Sounds good. Question: Would Taskmaster be in a Deadpoll movie? Because that would just be all kinds of cool.

He better be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ghost113]

He wants to do the flash.

Ah, Deadpool... my one true comic book soul mate.
Now, casting suggestions that i like:

Ron Livingston: indeed a great actor and great comic timing, however I don't know if he can carry the role phisically.
Seann William Scott: My first reaction was "NO WAY!", but then i remembered the movie "Stark Raving Mad", which was quite good, and showed that he can handle different aspects of a character.
Owen Wilson: The only superhero he should play is Booster Gold in a Booster Gold and Blue Beetle movie!
Ben Browder: So far he's the only guy that i think would look pretty decent bald and all messed up.

Who's ben rowder

 

[ghost113]

Who's ben browder

 

[LadyVader]

Captain Crichton from Farscape and curently Colonel Mitchell on Stargate Sg1.

I just thought of a good one: Nathan Fillion.

He, for those heathens unaware, played Captain Reynolds on "Firefly", and its film spinoff "Serenity", where he played a smuggler equally adept of making funny, occasionally strange, quips, and shooting people.

 

[ghost113]

possibly

Like Guru of GangStarr said, its mostly the voice.......

When Marvel decides to finally do the Deadpool movie I think Cole Hauser would be a way better choice than Ryan Reynolds (rumored). Deadpool is known as "the merc with a mouth" because he constantly curses. Being that the character's image is covered in a mask the actor's playing him should be a character in its own. Solution: Cole Hauser

[BT18]

Fillion would be good and is a Canuck. Good call. Maybe get Whedon to punch up the script as well.

 

[LadyVader]

Haha. That'd be awsome, to bad Whedon is uber busy these days.

 

[iamcolossus]

Who would be the better Deadpool? Why?

 

[BT18]

Ryan Reynolds would be better, but he's stated he won't play the character do to him being, in his eyes, similar to Hannibal King.

I was the one to introduce the idea of Dane Cook as Deadpool but I've since soured to the idea as his fanbase has become the most bloated of annoying murder-worthy people since god knows when. He's become a superstar in a loud, bad, way while his act and personality have declined drastically. A guy like him transitioning from a cult comic to a cult-type interesting acting career would have been alot more suited for playing Deadpool than the Jay Leno schmoozing, Jessica Simpson co-starring product that he's become.

 

[Fanticon]

Yeah...I second that...Just because those guys would be good wise-crackers...whatelse makes them qualify? Oh wait I forgot Reynolds has an 8-pack... but maybe you saw what Reynolds presence did to Blade Trinity and Amityville Horror...You couldn't take him seriously and I want a serious Wolverine spin-off...R rating is hoping for too much...but serious and PG-13 is the only way Wolverine's solo movie will work...that and plenty of cameos...I don't know I'm just rambling...but if I had to pick I'd go with Dane Cook because he's just barely making his crossover while Reynolds has had plenty of chances and still only seems to be a cult fave...and heart throb as many women...and some of my gay friends love him...As straight man I am definitely in envy of his 8-pack...how does he do it? And stay so funny...everything else tells us he should be some sort of jock...anyway...if Deadpool is even in the movie...lets hope they get it right.

 

[Joker]

I'd rather see Reynolds, especially because of the crack made from early on in Cable/Deadpool where Deadpool reffered to himself as looking like Ryan Reynolds crossed with a burn victim (or something along those lines)...but Cook would be alright too...

 

[BT18]

among non-movie stars, no actor with the height and build a faithful Deadpool would require has more comedic credibility than Jay Johnston, and he's still under 40.

 

[Katsuro]

Does it have to be one of those actors? Couldn't there be a third option "someone with talent"?

 

[CConn]

Does it have to be one of those actors? Couldn't there be a third option "someone with talent"?

You've just offended my sensibilities.

Cook, but only because Reynolds is (probably) doing Flash.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

I don't like it when actors play numerous comic book character roles but I gotta say the part IS Reynolds.

 

[Nathan]

Reynold is witty funny. Cook is flat out crazy, looney toon, maniac funny. That's why in my opinion Cook is the perfect choice.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Cook has not impressed me with his acting.
