JIMSMASH CASTING COUCH: DEADPOOL

I heard a rumor that Marvel may be going for a DEADPOOL movie. If so, I think I'd go with RYAN REYNOLDS as everyone's favorite Merc-With-A-Mouth. The man is in shape and can do action. Plus, his deadpan, banter humor would work nicely with Deadpool. So yeah, I say Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool... although, he should be masked 99% of the time... with horribly-scarred makeup applied if his face is shown.

"Who's Deadpool, Jim?"
In a nutshell.... He's a wiseass, wisecrackin mercenary spewed out of the 90s, I mean out of the WEAPON X program (the same program that enhanced Wolverine). He was created by ROB LIEFELD, so he's not the most original. Basically he's DC's DEATHSTROKE but with SPIDER-MAN's humor. For more info check out Wiki, or ask someone at your local comic store!

Honestly, I stopped reading him back when JOE KELLY & ED MCGUINNESS left his solo book in 1997 (oh dear god... that was 10 years ago!). So I'm not really the be-all, end-all Deadpool specialist. But back in those Kelly days, I really liked the character, dug his look and thought he was funny. So yeah, I can see Reynolds doing a decent enough interpretation on him. Also, they need to really stay true to the costume design.
