Ryan Reynolds to Play Deadpool?

February 18, 2008

Let's recap... Ryan Reynolds told us the following a couple of weeks ago:

CS: You were under consideration for "The Flash," correct?
Reynolds: Uh huh.

CS: Are there any other superheroes you'd be interested in playing?
Reynolds: Basically for me there are two superheroes that I could play. One would be Deadpool, the other would be The Flash. There are no imminent plans to do either just now.

CS: Why Deadpool?
Reynolds: He's just the "merc with a mouth". For me I guess it's a no-brainer.

Now, Ain't It Cool News reports today:

Anyone up for a little DEADPOOL?

How about if Ryan Reynolds is playing him?

This one's supposed to be a secret, but cat's out of the bag now, Marvel.

An awful lot must have happened the last few weeks (or maybe he's just a liar... a good one though!) It's not for a Deadpool movie though, but instead for a cameo in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Thoughts?

This just sounds like gossip gone mad. A rumor that's created a momentum of its own. Ryan Reynolds would be a good choice for either character. Only problem with someone like Reynolds playing Deadpool is that the script would be written with him mask-less. THAT is not Deadpool, people.

i really doubt it..theres been alot of talk of other mutants and cameos in "wolverine"..my question is why??? just tell wolverine dont fill as many mutants and such as you can and ruin it like they did x-3. I think he would be great either way, but dont ruin it on a cameo, give the guy his own flick!

Ryan Reynolds would be a good choice for Deadpool either way...he can pull off the smart ass attitude required.

Just get on with making the flash with him as wally already. He looks right for the part, he constantly plays witty joke cracking characters so Wally wouldnt be a stretch for him. make it happen!

Ive been reading this from alot of diffrent sites i think its true
the one out of two reason i think its true is becouse so far in the past we have had word of Nick Fury in Iron Man and of course Tony Stark in the Hulk 2 (i know not the name i just dont feel like writing the wholething)
the 2nd one will have to be the fact that Deadpool has been asked about as much as posible affter the like of the Punisher and Ghost Rider hit screens,and Marvel would have got to it sooner or later so its just a great choice and also fallows the comic book to a T

I just want to know why they're making a Wolverine movie in the first place... Were the first 2 X-Men movies not mostly centered around him? And then he was the only one that could stop Phoenix in part 3? C'mon! Phoenix can blink things out of existence and he got up close enough to run her all the way through?! Poor movie making folks.

Wolverine has been done to death, we don't need a movie dedicated to him.

I really hope Wolverine isn't just flooded with cameos and actually has substance.
