Ryan Reynolds Jumps Into Deadpool

Source:  MTV
MTV recently caught up with Ryan Reynolds to the discuss the character of Wade Wilson and the fast tracked Deadpool spinoff film

"I love it, because I get to be involved," Reynolds said of reprising his X-Men Origins: Wolverine role. "And I'm such a huge fan of the character."

The actor and 20th Century Fox are looking for a director as well as someone to writer the film.

"I get to be the authentication police, in a weird way," Reynolds stated regarding the storyline. "To their credit - the studio's credit - they want to make an authentic Deadpool movie; they want to make it as close to the source material as possible."

Some of the things that Reynolds and Fox have determined are that "He's going to be the Merc with the Mouth, [we're going to give] all those answers that everyone wants," he offered. "He's going to have the scarred-up face, he's going to be in the suit - and, it's going to be incredible."

"Right now, it's just a question of trying to figure out what is the spine of the story," the actor said when mulling over possible plot points. "Who is the villain? What does Wade and/or Deadpool want?"

"And how do you tell that story? Are we going to see flashbacks to his old life, flash-forwards, present-day?" he added. "We're just trying to figure that stuff out."

considering the look/feel of WOLVERINE, and what the hope to do with REYNOLDS; this film will be BLADE TRINITY + MORTAL KOMBAT = DONKEY TURD.
Too bad, he's a cool character but this film will be AWFUL.

Spoog, David Goyer, was writing the to Deadpool, but the story in Wolverine Origins completely messed up the foundation to his story, within his .
You may still be able to find the 15 page extract from his draft on Latino Review which also features Cable in the film.

Apparently after he saw Wolverine he completely dropped the project, he spent nearly 6 years writing it.
I personally feel sorry for the guy, and since reading his extract i dont believe any one can write a better Deadpool film than David Goyer, his what i'd marvel down as a true fan.

LOL and yeah that is a coincidence about Gerald Butler's character name in GAMER.

I agree any of the ones i named would be perfect, but for a charcter with emotion and action, top vouch is Dasniel Draig and come on guys you gotta admit, there was a lot of emotion through Casino Royale & Quantum Of Solace, Craig can blend action and emotion well together, which is why he is in my list.
But Sam Worthington & Clive Owen mostly look like Cable.

But any ways Sam Worthington is apparently penned to play Captain America, so he already has his superhero role.

Ryan Reynolds is awesome. What they did to Wade in 'Wolverine' was horrible. My brother and I discussed this for hours and we couldn't come up with a solid answer. Hopefully they get someone good to write this film. What about David Koepp or David S. Goyer? They'd write a good story.

I have a feeling this will turn out like the Blade series and The Punisher movies. Hopefully it doesn't.

I COULD SEE ANY OF THEM PLAYING CABLE, SPECIALLY GERALD BUTLER OR SAM WORTHINGTON...MAN WORTHINGTON IS A GOOD PICK FOR ANOYNE THESE DAYS LOL

AND BY COINCIDENCE BUTLER WILL BE PLAYING A CHARACTER NAMED CABLE IN AN UPCOMING MOVIE CALLED GAMER

BUT I STAND BY MY STATEMENT AND EVERYONE ON HERE SHOULD STAND UP AND SAY FOX NEEDS TO STOP MAKING COMIC BOOK MOVIES AND LEAVE DEADPOOL,CABLE OR ANY GOOD MARVEL CHARACTERS TO THEIR RIGHTFULL OWNERS, MARVEL STUDIOS

DO U GUYS AGREE OR DISAGREE?

Not a big fan of the character but I'll I'm looking forward to this.

I'm not a big fan of Deadpool but if they do put in Cable it has to be Clive Owen, either him or Gerald Butler.

I agree, and yikes, the words FOX and CABLE MOVIE do not sound good in one sentence.
Yeah Cable was in Goyer's , well what was posted of it in the 15 page exctract that appeared on Latino Review ages ago.

OOOOOO and choosing a casting role for Cable is quite a tuffy, but the top contenders, i'd most like to see is
Daniel Craig
Sam Worthington
Clive Owen

Any of them i'll be cool, another on e would be Gerald Butler.

Who do you reckon would be a good actor for Cable?

J.A: I AGREE TO SUPPORT HAVING CABLE IN THE DEADPOOL FILM TO FOLLOW THEIR COLLABO IN THE COMICS, AS LONG AS MARVEL STUDIOS DOES IT, NOT FOX...CAN U IMAGINE AFTER THIS FOX DOING A CABLE MOVIE, YIKES...A WORD FOR FOX, JUST STOP DOING ANYTHING MARVEL RELATED AND LET THE RIGHTS RETURN TO THE HANDS OF THE STUDIO AND LET THEM DO THEM RIGHT AND GIVE THEM JUSTICE...DIDNT U SAY DAVID S GOYER SRIPT HAD CABLE INCLUDED?...IF SO, WHO DO U THINK COULD PORTRAY HIM?

Oh wait, i remeber a writer what was his name David S Goyer...And then along came shitty X-Men Origins: Wolverine and completely destroyed that.

LOL his going to be the merc with the mouth, with a sewn mouth, realy cool.
Wolverine just fucked up Deadpool chatacter completely, just live it were it is Fox, wait 5 yrs and give it back to Marvel.

aI'm no longer interested in a DP movie featuring Ryan Reynolds especially when it being produced by Fox.

And if you think Wolverine some how needs to be interpretated into this film, LMAO, your a just plain dumb.

But here is someone that has to be into this film and since they want to follow the source material as closely as possible, then this film needs CABLE in a starring role.

I'm not very familiar with Deadpools comic book background story or villains. I only went through a few of the comics every once in a while but I too agree that Ryan Reynolds is the perfect person for role of deadpool. If I didn't know any better I would ask if Ryan was trying to be a smart ass like Deadpool or Deadpool was inspired by Ryan. I just hope they don't screw this movie up.

If your expectations are any higher than low-range, I really feel sorry for you because your going to be very disappointed.
  (Delete)
June 12th, 2009 8:51am
my expectations are on the mid-range for this
Im hoping they can do a good job telling us who this guy is

I have high expectations for this...and I know I shouldn't. But Deadpool is such a cool character. I hope they don't screw this up.

June 12th, 2009 6:45am
Well at least we know the one thing he doesn't have to work on is his sarcasm..Perfect role for him, I try to forget about everything I saw in Wolverine except the scenes Deadpool was in. So yeah, I'll continue the "Fuck Wolverine" chant.

Will they let Deadpool be the anti-hero he is the comics? In his early days he was just a merciless F### , but damn funny too. And it would be nice if they didn't overload the origin flick with every two-bit, c-list mutant in the Marvel U. BUT... I would like to see Weasel, Vanessa and Dr. Killebrew. Didn't he do some work for Kingpin?

Weapon XI was Deadpool. End of discussion.

Wolverine doesn't need to make a cameo. As Comrade said "Fuck Wolverine." This is Deadpool's movie, and after what they did to him in Wolverine, he needs all the attention he deserves without a Hugh Jackman cameo just to sell tickets

Ryan Reynolds is the perfect Deadpool.
