Deadpool and Wolverine, good enough for me!

edited May 2008 in Social Entropy++
So, like, I don't keep up with movie productions much. But a friend of mine started talking to me about the new Wolverine origin movie that they're doing. Seeing as how X2 was pretty much WOLVERINE(ohandthexmentoo) and I really liked that movie, I figured this would be pretty cool.

Then, I saw the cast list:

Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed/Sabretooth - They didn't take Tyler Mane back, but Liev Schreiber? what?

Danny Huston as William Stryker - Not Brian Cox, but I can get over it, despite the fact that Brian Cox is a fucking awesome dude.

Lynn Collins as Kayla Silver Fox - Actually really awesome casting, plus it's Alpha Flight!

Daniel Henney as David North / Agent Zero - I never really liked Agent Zero at all, so it's hard to have an opinion on this.

Will.i.am as John Wraith / Kestrel - Yes, that is how he spells his fucking name. Yes, it's the assbag from the Black Eyed Peas. Very :|

Taylor Kitsch as Remy LeBeau / Gambit - Motherfucking Gambit. Woosha! I was pretty much sold there, but...

Dominic Monaghan as Barnell - I don't care if he's Beak, or whatever. But I'll be picturing Charlie Pace with LIGHTNING POWERS. And that, is awesome.

Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool - Ryan Reynolds made Blade III bearable, Ryan Reynolds is deadpool, like he was born to play this guy. Holy fuck.

Scott Adkins as Weapon XI - Weapon XI has never been in the comics, best as I know, but it's kinda' cool they're giving a nod to it. I have no idea who Scott Adkins is either.

Kevin Durand as Blob - NO FORCE ON ERTH CAN MOVE THE BLOB. Or make me care about that character.

But this one tops the cake:

Ken Watanabe as Silver Samurai - Whaaat? That is either going to be awesome or fagtastic.

Either way, I wasn't really looking forward to this movie much (despite my love of Wolverine), but after seeing the casting, I kind've am now. Originally I was hoping for this not to be a hackneyed origin movie, but rather a Wolverine/Jubilee thing, but if this boils down to Wolverine/Deadpool, I really can't complain.

    No taskmaster? You can't have deadpool without taskmaster. It's just not as good.

    Also, you don't need to see Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, he's going to be in-mask the whole time. The main thing is A: He hwas the physique, B: He is a smart-ass bastard. Things Deadpool is.

    No. What I mean is dark powers were summoned to create both the actors and their characters for the sole purpose of making these awesome things into movies.

    That + Attitude + Voice Modulation = Deadpool.

    Here's to hoping he's more than a 5 minute cameo.

    On the DVD every time Deadpool speaks the subtitles better be in yellow.

    I think Reynolds could play Deadpool. There were rumors of him playing Deadpool in a separate movie many, many years ago.

    He was born to play this role

    Hell, he was essentially playing a bearded Deadpool in Blade Trinity

    Also I'm not expecting a complete translation of Deadpool because he's difficult to portray in live action. I think he's better suited for animation

    In other words I'm lowering my standards but I still hope Ryan knocks it out of the park

    Is Ryan Reynolds really the best Deadpool?

    I don't know Deadpool, but Ryan Reynolds is basically a poor man's Jason Lee. So would Jason Lee be better for this part?

    No.

    Also, it seems like they're trying to cram a shitload of characters into one movie.
