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.

Sonny Chiba as Terry Tsurugi as Silver Samurai... as Terry Tsurugi.
I WANT ANOTHER "THE STREET FIGHTER" MOVIE THAT ISN'T SHITTY CAMP.
I gain most superhero knowledge from wikipedia though so
huh
Meriadoc Brandybuck with lightning powers. Kick. Ass.
Who would play the best deadpool?
Who would play the best taskmaster?
(I honestly don't see Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool at all)
Sonny Chiba makes everything better.
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.

shrug?
your post right now is the first time i've ever seen anyone mention anything ever.
that doesn't make sense
this has been talked about in a lot of threads a lot of times before now
alright
so perfect and awesome?
plus you know
makeup exists
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.
It makes me wonder how they're going to handle his craziness in the movie, because is is totally nuts.

But the fact that there are so many cameos takes it away as well
your face
that's fair
Seriously?
She took his picture.
She took his picture!
I love how they even got Perlman to play him in the animated movies. Top notch stuff, those.
I guess it could work...
Here's to hoping he's more than a 5 minute cameo.

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
the absolute most shittiest characters to dribble out of marvels ass in the past 20 years

In other words I'm lowering my standards but I still hope Ryan knocks it out of the park
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?
Get out
Also, it seems like they're trying to cram a shitload of characters into one movie.
