MEW all the way! 


Not that it necassarily means anything, but I noticed Ryan Reynolds started following Winstead on twitter recently.

As much as I like Mackenzie Davis (I feel like she would make a very imposing Dom at 5'10), in the end it would come down to whomever works best with Ryan and whomever is cast as Nate. So if it's MEW or someone else, I would be down with it. I trust Ryan.
Ryan following MEW is a interesting though for sure.
Ugh, God.
Could you please re-read the article? Tim Miller clearly states that they tried to make a PG-13 version BEFORE the studio finally agreed to make the movie. And if you need something else to back that up just look for one of the many interviews or podcasts with the filmmakers. The making of Deadpool has been covered SO much during the movie's release. The Complex switched a few things around.
The small budget was always the intention because studios stopped making R-rated blockbusters, let alone an R-rated comic book adaptation.
The filmmakers knew that, so instead of trying to get an R-rated $100-150 million dollar production, which they would've never made, they went for a smaller and grittier story, in order to keep their desired rating and take on the character.
Moviemaking is a serious of decision, and unless we're talking about indipendent productions, studios have the last word.
During the course of the development and the production the studio could've decided to make it PG-13, they could've decided to go through with the idea of the linear narrative structure, they could've forced Miller to put in stuff he didn't want (like Marvel Studios did with the Thor subplot on Avengers: Age of Ultron, threatening him to delete Hawkeye's subplot if he didn't), they could've have taken the movie from director Tim Miller and hire the trailer company to edit it (like Warner Bros. did with Suicide Squad), they could've done many more things - they do have the power to do so... and guess what? They didn't. In the end, despite the bumps, the studio ended up making the right decisions. On an R-rated action comedy based on a comic book, which was seen as a huge gamble in the industry (Watchmen and Kick-Ass weren't exactly smash hits at the box office).
And for that they deserve credit.

No Ruby Rose please. Save her for the Batwoman movie, the one that I'm sure will totally happen someday.
Back to Domino, honestly I'd be pretty happy with any of those actresses, except Rohrbach (she's pretty, but can she act?) and that Hewson girl, who I feel might be a bit too young for the role. I'd rather they cast an actress in their 30s, especially if they plan to pair her up with Cable (who I assume will be played by an actor in his late 30s/early 40s at the very least).
