Deadpool Gina Carano IS Angel Dust

[Slushy]

Gina Carano has closed a deal to join Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool, Fox's action movie based on the wisecracking mercenary Marvel character.

Tim Miller is directing the action adventure project, which is eyeing a March start in Vancouver. Lauren Shuler Donner is producing.

Reynolds is an assassin who is dying of cancer who undergoes a procedure that is supposed to cure him but ends up twisted and scarred while also imbued with super-powers.

T.J. Miller is set to bring comedic relief to the movie in an undisclosed role. And, fanboy alert: The Russian X-Men character known as Colossus is slated to appear in the movie.

Carano will play a character known as Angel Dust. It is unclear how she fits into the proceedings, but in the Marvel comics, the character was part of an underground mutant group known as The Morlocks.

Before she tackles Deadpool, however, Carano will star opposite Bruce Willis in Extraction, an action movie from Emmett-Furla and Aperture Entertainment.

Steven C. Miller is directing the story of a CIA operative and his son who is following in his footsteps, with the movie beginning to lens next week.

The back-to-back shoots continue Carano's nonstop movie momentum. She recently wrapped production on Bus 657 opposite Robert DeNiro, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kate Bosworth as well as Kickboxer, the reboot of the early 1990s action franchise that also stars Guardians of the Galaxy's Dave Bautista.

All I can do is:

 

[NickFoley]

Spoilers for Haywire:

Spoiler

She kicked Fassbender's ass in that movie.

Great fight scene.

 

[jed]

With Angel Dust, will we see other Morlocks too?

Marrow? I like Marrow, she has bones coming out from her body.


I like the fact that Colossus is returning. Hopefully they will stick with Daniel Cudmore. He was so underused in the X men movies.

 

[Superhero 101]

I wonder how colossus will fit in

 

[psylockolussus]

Random mutant... they could have picked Marrow or Callisto.

The actress though....first cast member of the X-Men that I have seen in real life! Nice!

I agree. The guy never gets to talk much!

 

[-JKR-]

I hope the movie won't be too 'x-men-y'.

That's not random, it can be superhuman strength fight Colossus vs Angel Dust.

 

[def28]

That's not random, it can be superhuman strength fight Colossus vs Angel Dust.

Yeah, that's probably the main reason for her inclusion. None of the three supporting villains in the script (Garrison Kane, Wyre, Sluggo) have been cast so she likely took one of their place.

Angel Dust is also a character they can take license with and fans wont really care. I wouldn't expect the Morlocks to have a role or be set up.

 

[psylockolussus]

That's not random, it can be superhuman strength fight Colossus vs Angel Dust.

Because having someone like Marrow or Callisto wouldnt be a good match to Colossus? Also theres more well known superstrength mutants out there, Blockbuster, M, Strong Guy to name a few.

 

[kasjan]

'M', why would James Bond's boss fight against Colossus?

 

[psylockolussus]

I wasnt talking about Judi Dench's 007 character. Theres a X-Men female character with the name of M.

I wonder if they are gonna call her as Angel Dust... her codename irks. She will be the third Angel in the series and theres another mutant in the comics with the codename of Dust who is more interesting.

 

[Xeno-noesis]

I've honestly never heard of the character Angel Dust. I have a lot of Deadpool comics and don't recall the name...guess it's time for some research lol.

 

[-JKR-]

She never appeared in any Deadpool comics. She was picked from one of the countless X-titles.

 

[Sullstar]

She isn't even from an X-title, she's from Morlocks

 

[eon001]

I hope the movie won't be too 'x-men-y'.

That's my concerns with the inclusion of Colossus. Lets grab some recognizable characters to help sell the film, like Wolverine origins? No thanks.
If they need a power type, they should go for Warpath. The guy needs a push. The time travel retcon can give them a chance to cast a more suitable actor than the kid in DOFP. And Warpath's powers won't cost as much as Colossus metallic skin.
Makes creative and budgetary sense, but what do I know.

 

[CyclopsSummers]

Is she mutant in movie or not ?

 

[aNarcHy2day]

Is she mutant in movie or not ?

Have you seen her? She's a mutant even in real life!

Stealing hearts and kicking ass!

 

[<(o_o)>]

Correction LOL at Deadpool saying that she less angry Rosie O'Donnell.

 

[Sithborg]

LOL at Deadpool saying that she was the better looking Rosie O'Donnell.

That isn't the line.

They also pretty much confirmed Kane was cut due to budget. Angel Dust is a nice low budget option. Despite all the positive praise for the leaked footage, this is still a risk.

 

[psylockolussus]

Someone rename the title of the thread, to "a less angry Rosie O'Donnell."

She's no longer the less angry Rosie O'Donnell.

I liked her look at the daylight showdown with Colossus and Teenage Negasonic Warhead.

 

[Golgo-13]

Carano's packed on a lot of mass.

 

[MurkeNyou]

I think thats the best Brick on Brick live action fight i've seen in a while.

But Colossus reaction when she popped out, c'mon Peter.

 

[Lantern Venom]

Carano's packed on a lot of mass.

She looked amazing.
