Will he break the fourth wall and make fun of Wolvie to the camera? Man, if this is written right, it could be awesome. Make him Wolvie's warped sidekick and then have him betray Wolvie to Sabretooth towards the end. Or something like that. I hope it's not just a cameo. Too bad the current Deadpool series in the comics has devolved to ridiculous mediocrity.
Ditto on the Cyclops film

Especially considering the arse-fucking that he got in X-men 3. That stills leaves a bad taste in my mouth - could hardly watch the rest of the film after his last scene. Put that together with the fact that Joss Whedon has made him the coolest mofo in comics recently - I say give him the proper respect!

X3 was totally shite and buried the series. I have no interest in seeing yet another Wolverine-centric movie. Singer did a really good job bringing X-Men to the big screen much like Burton did with Batman. Now we need a Nolan-type director to do justice to the series. Cyclops as the leader of the team with Iceman, Jean Grey, Beast, and Angel. Introduce Wolverine et al. later in the series.
He resembles Dane Cook too much

unless you're too busy playing call of duty 4 on xbox live of course, in which case add Texas Crusader to your friend list for some real murderous action!

Make him more Boba Fett or something with a couple of jokes than the most annoying person alive. See Blade:Trinity, aka the LAST Blade film. (Hint:The problem wasn't Snipes).

Fox is sort of like the anti-Warner Brothers. No title is too awful or unwieldy as long as it bludgeons the point across that the movie is part of a franchise. "The Dark Knight? But people won't know who that is. We should call it Batman Continuings: Dark Knight."

by W3bzpinn3r
Feb 18th, 2008
05:36:11 PM
Fox will achieve 2 goals at once: be cheap on FX and be able to name-drop a "celebrity" in another X Film.

Harry could grab Wolverine, and smother him between hot, sweaty man-boobs. Wolverine would go crazy, slashing wildly to free himself, only to have sliced, in half, Silver Fox by accident.

Harry would then pick up the chunks of Silver Fox, dip them in butter, and eat them greedily, while sitting on his fat arse watching 4 Blu-Ray movies at once.

Wolverine would then get even with Harry-Blob by getting Harry's fat arse on a treadmill and whipping him in the arse with a wet-towel every time he slows down.

This would win an Oscar easily.

I agree, they should reboot the X-Men entirely.

And, about the "too many characters" complaint: I think it's not a problem when ballsy producers set out to create a rich universe from the get-go (see A New Hope), the problem is that they hire shitty writers and actors who can't put their ego out of the equation and want MORE screentime when they're supposed to lie low and wait for the right time to step in (ex: Boba Fett)

Nice. Ryan's made me laugh since the pizza place. I've always thought he'd be able to hold his own if given the shot. Way too bad Blade03 sucked balls. Way too bad. Thought he stood well next to Liotta in Smokin Aces. So glad to see him getting another go.

This film though. Yeah, a spin-off of X3. Whoopdifuckindoo. We could just pretend that didn't happen? Maybe.

They didn't know who Daredevil was, they didn't know who Electra was, they didn't get on board with Punisher. The list goes on. Any esoteric, 3rd string hero in comic-dom who gets a greenlight is 85% likely to be a money pit.

Actually that's a lie. I know what he's a wisecracking character from the Marvel universe who wears read tights and carries swords. His power and reason for existence is foreign to me. As for this casting, if Ryan Reynolds has been signed for WOLVERINE, good for him. This cameo could become a launching pad for his own spinoff.

Basically, anyone who enjoyed Joe Kelly Deadpool would have a problem with Ryan Reynolds in the role. It's a scientific fact. And I stand by the initial assertion that 31 is too young for Deadpool. He was a hardened murderer for hire for years before he even joined up with Weapon X. 31 is a tad too green, if you ask me.

Unlike Toby, he would have brought an actual sense of humor to the role as well as the physicality of the character. Blade III may have sucked but he was willing to put on 25 lbs. of muscle to play a supporting role and frankly, I thought he was the best part of the film. I hope he gets more work and I think he could play any number of comic characters very well.

He got shafted BAD in the X-Men movies. Cyclops is one of the coolest X-Men. The guy can shoot lasers out of his eyes, which is probably the coolest of all powers. Make X-men Origins: Cyclops. Directed and written by Joss Whedon. Starring James Marsden, who has been coming into his own lately. Get Jean Grey in it as the love interest, cameos by Kelsey Grammer as pre-blue fur Beast and Patrick Stewart as Xavier. The villian would be Mister Sinister.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was a big fan of the X-verse up until about a year after X-cutioner's song, then I got off comics for about ten years. Have been back in the game now for a year or so, but never picked up a cable & deadpool book. He seems like a decent enough character. In the few comics I've read with him in them, I've grown to like him a little bit. I always thought he was a modern character, and I didn't know he had Wolverine's healing ability. Does anyone know if there are any worthwhile Deadpool trades available?

Peter Parker hasn't been a nerd for the larger part of his existence as a character. he actually developed into a reasonably handsome, intelligent, charming guy who also just happens to be incredibly down to Earth because of a good upbringing. But Macguire is far too nerdy and morose for the guy Parker becomes, and never really had the right sense of charisma for him. I always wished he had dropped out for two and Gyllenhaal had gotten the role. With that said Reynolds isn't right either, for too masculine and he looks like a guy who has a bit of jock in him, something Parker lacks entirely. I think Jim Sturgess from Across the Universe and 21 would be a perfect choice to bring Spider-Man into new post-Raimi (thank God) territory. The guy has the look and spirit down pat.

If done well the Deadpool movie would rock! Unfortunately the masses of asses out there wouldn't get it and it would be a flop. I don't think you could have a mutant ninja mercenary film where the star breaks the 4th wall all the time and knows that he's just a character in a movie/comic without yer average Wal-mart redneck getting way to confused.

They seem to be packing this thing with way too many characters, many of whom have little to do with Wolverine or his history. I just hope they're not going to jam in as many characters as possible just to see how many stick simply because Marvel can now do pretty much whatever it wants with it's properties. Oh, and last I heard the secret cameo is supposed to be Xavier, not Deadpool, the Deadpool thing got leaked months ago.

He'd be perfect. He really has way too much time on his hands, if he repeately comments on the 4 or 5 films he watched on one particular day before watching a movie. He does a lousy jub on his articles on this site. Mori and Vern are more than able to do this site. Plus, they could always digitally remove the wheelchair, or get Harry to walk on his own by zapping him with cattle prods.

this is good, good casting that I hope doesn't distract from the movie. I'm very excited for this movie. I am not one of those guys that think "GORY" and "HARD-R" are the sole defining factors of a good movie, but in this case I have always thought of a stand-alone wolverine movie as very visceral and savage. This man was an assassin/ninja/soldier, who has not lived a conventional hero's life, so a preference of mine would be to watch a movie knowing that the guys behind it did not have to worry about how long wolvie's claws are in man's chest or how much/little blood is shown on screen.

Deadpool is a fictional comic book character sometimes depicted as a mercenary, villain, or anti-hero; who appears in books published by Marvel Comics, usually in the X-Men family of titles. Created by artist Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza, Deadpool first appeared in The New Mutants #98 (February 1991).

Nicknamed the "Merc with a Mouth", Deadpool is a high-tech mercenary known for his wisecracks, black humor, and satirical pop-culture references. Like the X-Men's Wolverine, Deadpool is the product of the Canadian government's paramilitary Weapon X program, although his place of birth is unknown. After Weapon X cured his terminal cancer by implementing a regenerative "healing factor" extracted from Wolverine, Deadpool is left disfigured and mentally unstable.

Deadpool was originally an adversary of The New Mutants and later X-Force, developing an infatuation with X-Force member Siryn. Deadpool received two limited series: Sins of the Past and The Circle Chase. He graduated to an ongoing series in 1997, which was known for its slapstick tone and willingness to break the fourth wall. Deadpool's series was cancelled but he reappeared as part of Agent X in 2002 but that series was cancelled in 2003. Currently, Deadpool is paired with Cable, another former X-Force character, in Cable & Deadpool. He is scheduled to appear in a new solo title in late 2008.

It has been noted that Deadpool shares many similarities with the DC Comics villain Deathstroke, particularly in regards to the characters' real names (Deathstroke's being Slade Wilson while Deadpool's is Wade Wilson). However, since Deadpool's introduction, Deadpool and Deathstroke have developed in vastly different directions.

Deadpool had better know he's in a movie!

If they want the character to be at all consistent with his 616 variant, he needs to be crazy, and think he's a character in a movie. He needs to narrate himself, too.

If they do this, it will rock.

And let me remind people, this is not 616 Wolverine. This is Fox Marvel Movie Universe Wolverine. He's taller. He's different. The story doesn't have to conform to 616 because it's NOT the mainstream 616 universe.

Think of ALL Marvel movies as being separate universes. The current slew of Marvel Studios films may all be in the same universe, but- for example- there were three versions of the Hulk; The television version was one universe, the Ang Lee was another universe, and the upcoming movie is yet another universe.

Marvel has well-established the idea that there are multiple dimensions in which versions of their characters exist, but are slightly different than in 616.

So stop yer bitching. Enjoy this as a new Marvel story, not a word-for-word reprint of the books.

by ZeroCorpse

Once he takes a stance on solid ground, he cannot be moved.

He's damage-resistant, but not invulnerable.

He's at about Captain America's strength level

He's in "control" of his fat, and can "clench" it to "trap" people (or their limbs) in it.

That's all I know from reading the books, but maybe there's something else that's never shown. The old question what what would happen if the Juggernaut (unstoppable force) ran into the Blob (immovable object).

The answer is that, unless the Blob were standing on a vibranium or adamantium planet, the ground would give way.

and Ryan Reynolds would be the guy I'd cast as Chris Knight if I remade Real Genius (or if they inexplicably made a sequel to it).

That's a movie I want to see. I read one of those comics back when I was a kid, and it was a great "Vs" movie. What with "Aliens vs Predator" being th hot shit right now, it was like "Aliens vs X-Men". Badass, man. Badass. Like, one of those comics had a badass cover, with Wolverine kneeling down in the darkness as he was turning into an Alien. Then there was this one badass scene in the comic where Woverine completely turned into a fucking Alien, then killed the Alien with his mutant powers. Then there was this one badass scene in the comic where Wolverine ruthlessly slaughtered an innocent and scared Catholic priest who was begging for his life. That's the Wolverine I miss.

If you hate (as you should) AvP:R then this is important:

That useless fucking shitrag Empire has viciously slandered us. Some cunt called Chris Hewitt has written:

"Directors The Brothers Strause – Colin and Greg – apparently got the gig, their first, because they’re such huge Alien and Predator fanboys. AVP:R would indicate that they’re fanboys of the Ain't It Cool talkback variety, guileless goons crowbarring in lame references (the hero is called Dallas; someone actually says ‘Get to the chopper!’) while emphasising splatter and swearing over the suspenseful slow burn."For the full review go to http://tinyurl.com/2gg66d but I'd rather you didn't give the cunts the hits.

If anyone remembers the recent AvP:R wars and the slaughtering we gave the foilage that turned out for it then please air your displeasure at the useless no-quality-control cockmonkeys via email.

In fact, fuck it, anybody who thinks this is wrong- do it, let them know. But be certain to check the AICN history of AvP:R from Mori's initial slaughter of the script to vern's review and our eventual savaging of the plant life.

Deadpool cameo
by Mr Writer
Feb 19th, 2008
05:17:54 AM
As a huge fan of Wolverine I'm obviously concerned the movie is done right and not everything I'm hearing is good. I love the casting of Liev Schrieber as Sabretooth and Danny Huston as Stryker, but I'm really worried they're trying to cram in too many cameos for spin-off/merchandising reasons. They may justify it as pleasing the hard-core fans, but I am a hard-core comic fan and I don't want to see characters who have nothing to do with Wolverine's origin. Deadpool was part of Weapon X so he fits to an extent, but Gambit? Where does Gambit fit in? And the Blob seems even sillier. Ryan Reynolds is perfect casting for Deadpool in my opinion and I say that as fan of the character. I loved the Joe Kelly run on Pool and would love to see him in his own movie. However I hope he's only in Wolverine very briefly as too many mutants will dilute the film. Yeah, we've had three Wolverine movies already to some extent, but the character was only done right in certain moments. The cage fight/scenes in Canada in X1 and the berserker rage at the mansion in X2. This movie is the chance to show why Wolverine is such an interesting character. I was disappointed that his training in Japan was not going to feature, but that could easily be saved for a sequel. The basic story of Wolverine being tricked into becoming Weapon X to get revenge against Sabretooth for killing Silverfox is a good one if done right. I just hope they don't ruin it by cramming in every mutant they didn't have time to use in the X-Men trilogy. I was also concerned about the idea of a flashback to Wolverine as a boy as the time period seemed all wrong. I don't know why they seem determined to make Wolverine much younger than he is in the comics. Do they think no one will accept he was born in the 1890s and his mutation causes him to age slowly? Surely this was established in X1? Gavin Hood seems like a good director though and Benioff can be a good writer (Troy was terrible tho) so hopefully they know what they're doing. I know a lot of people have wondered how Sabretooth didn't remember Wolverine in X1 and/or why he will look so different i.e Liev Schreiber not Tyler Mane. My idea? Have Wolverine pop his claws in Creed's brain at the end of the movie seemingly killing him then include an epilogue where he is found by Stryker who says he will live but his memory will be irreparably damaged and that he will experiment on him to make him even more savage etc. Problem solved and a good ending to boot. I'd love to see Wolverine pop his third claw into Sabretooth on the big screen. Anyway, as this rant draws to a close my final thoughts are this: Wolverine could be a fantastic movie if done right, but I am a bit worried. Hopefully they will pull it off.

YES HE CAN!!!! ratner killed the franchise, although some of it should accredited to Singer for jumping ship. Gavin Hood is a solid director, i believe he can bring something new to the table. I am a bit concerned with the number of cameos, but as long as the Merc with a Mouth gets his lions share of the screen time compared to the other cameos, no complaints here!

Uh, the talkbacks are widely known to be the dregs of the net, hating everything that is popular, irrational in that hate. A community below even gamefaqs and Myspace comment standards. The only internet community so horrible to the topic they claim to love that they made a MOVIE about it. That quote is dead on. Except I'm sure it was meant as homage rather than just shoehorning it in.

Yes, we are the dregs in many ways. It's what makes AICN talkback as glorious as it is stupid and hideous.

However.

To accuse us and our mentality of being the progenitors of movies like AvP:R is an insult we do not deserve in any way. By all means call us what we are, but apart from plants and the odd mentally deficient toadstool, we all came down VERY hard on AvP:R.

I'll never forgive SINGER for pulling out of X3. Even though I know Fox ere being assholes. SINGER had a chance to put together a really wonderful trilogy. X1 was OK, X2 was a massive leap forward, one of the best blockbusters of recent years. But it is destined to be forgotten, because X3 is so lackluster, it pulls the entire trilogy down.

This is great news. I really hope he gets his own movie. Also, Deadpool has direct ties to Weapon X. Plus he was a villain for a long time. I'm sure he will be one of Wolvie's major adversaries in this film. Just hope they do him right and don't kill him at the end. Deadpool is like Spider-Man except instead of making fun of his foe while fighting them, he's making fun of them while killing them. That is what makes him awesome.

yeah reynolds and deadpool have been linked for ages now. goyer was attached at one point, and i think him and RR must have talked about on Blade Trinity because the dialogue Hannibal King had definitely reminded me of deadpool. i know avi arad's son is a deadpool fanatic, he even submitted a script at one point. but i think back then new line or lionsgate (i think) had the rights, so it was going to be difficult as Fox had the rights to Weapon X. i just hope his cameo is meaty enough to get non -fans interested.

Just my opinion, but 2006 and 2007 belonged to DC...but Marvel (who have SUCKED for years and still do for the most part) I think will own 2008. Secret Invasion has me more enticed than Final Crisis....here's a thought. Will we ever just have comics again? Not these perpetual run ups to major cross over events...just comics.

this movie is going to be so lame. How many more spandex cameos are there going to be? The more characters they shove into this one, the less time for any kind of meaningful development. You'll have 10-15 collective minutes of Deadpool trying desperately to be funny with likely sub-par dialogue. Ryan Reynolds is a gifted comedic actor, but I'm not sure even he could pull this off.

Way to shit all over what could have been a blossoming franchise, Marvel. The first movie shouldn't completely, just kind of suck. Save the extreme suckage for the third one. Like you did with Spiderman.

Since deadpool's face is fucked up, the guys looks don't really matter. So in that case, you should pick someone actually taleneted for the job. Also, Deadpools voice, is super fucked up too, if you dont know that you're a fucking idiot and this isnt the article for you. He has a voice that his creator describes is like Smoke. Reynolds voice, is more like a cunt. Yeah, that about sums it up, he has a cunt voice. They should cast someone ACTUALLY fucking talented to play the role. Not some faggot asshole who plays the SAME FUCKING PART in every movie. "Blade, put your fist up my asshole, it's the only way to kill these Vampires." "This house is haunted? Fuck, someone should shove their entire fist up my asshole, and that should solve the problem!" "That dog has big balls, I should butt fuck him while someone fists my asshole." Those are all quotes from Ryan Reynolds movies. Do you really want that level of fucking gayness to represent a badass like Deadpool?

Exhibit A Danica Talos: Okay King, where is this tracking node of yours? Hannibal King: It's in my left ass cheek. [Danica slaps King in the face] Hannibal King: Fine. It's in my right ass cheek. [Danica slaps King in the face again] Hannibal King: Okay, I'm - okay, seriously now. It's in the meat of my butt, just below the Hello Kitty tattoo. [Danica kicks King in the groin] Hannibal King: Seriously, just pull down my tighty-whities and see for yourself. Exhibit B Jarko Grimwood: [grabs Hannibal by the throat] Spit it out, you fucking fruitcake! Hannibal King: All right, fuck! I'll tell you about the weapon! [Jarko releases him] Hannibal King: It's a new flavor-crystal formula. Twice the chocolaty goodness, half the calories. Plus it helps prevent tooth decay. There, I said it. Seriously dude, read deadpool. thats vintage wade wilson right there. and if your saying that we side with rob fucking liefeld's interpration of deadpools voice, then your the 'fucking idiot' (your words man). deadpool may well have been created by him but he became the character we know him as now under other writers if you ask me. ryan reynolds is perfect, i've never thought there has been anyone even remotely suitable, it just makes sense.

on how he's played Hannibal King as well in the Marvel movies. It would be a very Deadpool-ish move and work with Reynolds as well. Though I doubt Fox will go THAT metatexual, even though it is totally in-character for Deadpool (one of the few Marvel characters that knows he's a comic book character ala Purple Man and Rick Jones for one issue of Captain Marvel.)

I got a bunch of his spin off comics that never seem to last more then a couple of issues before getting scraped. I think I have one where he fights Gambit? Time to dig through the collection. I actually bought this crazy crappy big Marvel Toy a couple years back because it was Dead Pool. I don't think it was an official toy, but Deadpool toys are not that easy to come by. I think Reynolds if a good choice. Can't wait to see how this happens. Would like to see Juggernaut, and would like Vinnie Jones to continue playing it.

all the castings, Deadpool, John Wraith, Gambit etc have been officially confirmed on Marvel.com. whats a little retarded on their part is that they've posted images from the comic books of what the characters look like, and for john wraith they've put an image of what he looks like Ultimate X-Men. which is a completely different character to the one from the normal universe. In the regular x-men universe he's a black guy, member of team-x with wolverine, and a teleporter, which judging by the casting i assume thats what they're going with. But in the ultimate universe hes a white human mutant hating colonel who works for the weapon x branch of shield, and was responsible keeping logan in check. i must admit i didn't know this myself until a few days ago, but you'd think marvel.com would know their own shit!?

but if you look at what wade wilson looks like in the flashbacks in the Circle Chase, its not to far off mr reynolds, maybe just a bigger frame. but still similar enough as is. which means they could use reynolds for the flashbacks when they make the deadpool spin off (they will make one....they will make one....)

my favorite Marvel character and the best since the silver age - but will be almost impossible for them not to fuck up. he can be gay and slapstick like this reynolds character can bring to the table, but I doubt they have the balls to make him an actual killer and sick in the head. it'd be great having a protaganist who gets decapitated/loses limbs/ gets holes blasted through his chest though.

First off, this is most-likely a cameo, not a major role. Much like Fury's appearance in Iron Man or Stark in Incredible Hulk. Second, "no one knows who Deadpool is so no one will watch a Deadpool movie" is ridiculous logic. Blade was an obscure character even among comic fans and his film is what kick-started the comic movie trend. Daredevil and Elektra didn't bomb because no one knew who they were -- they bombed because they were bad movies, period. How many movies come out every single year that are based on something no one's ever heard of? Do all these movies fail? John and Jane Q. Public won't care if Deadpool is an obscure comic character. What they'll see is a dark action comedy which breaks the fourth wall and features Ryan Reynolds as a sarcastic mercenary. That's the hook right there.
