It looks like Ryan Reynolds may be slipping into a pair of tights for the upcoming Wolverine film; the word on the street is that he may be cast as Deadpool. We get this news from our friends at AICN via IESB:
Aint it Cool News is reporting a nifty little scoop — Ryan Reynolds may be featured in a Wolverine cameo as everybody’s favorite merc-with-a-mouth. We’ve yet to get official word from anyone on this but — if it’s true — it sounds like a lot of fun. Deadpool is a fan-favorite and the casting of Ryan Reynolds may very point to a spinoff film in the near future.
I enjoy Ryan Reynolds and usually do not mind when he is attached to a project. I am not familiar with the Deadpool character and must ask the international friends for help. Do you guys think Ryan Reynolds would make a good Deadpool? Please share your thoughts in the comments section.
IESB goes on to describe Deadpool as an insane, wise cracking assassin. Ryan Reynolds excels at the wisecracks, and if this is what is needed, I can certainly see why he may have been tapped for this. It would be cool to see him play a character where you are always covered in a ninja-esque outfit. Deadpool always reminded me of Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe when I saw his picture. I am not sure how much screen time will be given to the character, we may see him for an instant, or he may play an extended role in the film. Either way, we will continue to follow this news and keep you up to speed on the updates!
