Official: Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool
Ryan Reynolds is officially up in the Deadpool movie. Which, like, was to be expected. Right? And this is all dope and shit, but my concern with this movie surrounds the script. Namely, the idea that it could be PG-13.
Actor Ryan Reynolds is set to star as the titular character in the upcoming Marvel film Deadpool, according to a report from the L.A. Times.
Reynolds, best known for his roles in Green Lantern and Blade: Trinity, was rumored to be in the running for the role of the wise-cracking anti-hero, but it was only yesterday that Fox confirmed his official casting. Reynolds first donned the Deadpool mask in X-Men: Origins – Wolverine.
This film adaptation of Marvel’s Deadpool series is scheduled to hit theaters on Feb. 12, 2016. Twentieth Century Fox and Marvel Comics announced the films release date earlier this year, with Tim Miller set to direct.
News of the official Deadpool release date followed test footage of the project leakedonline. The video, shot a few years ago, also featured actor Ryan Reynolds in the lead.
You excited for this flick?
