I laughed pretty hard watching that clip.... my only fear will be way too much CGI, but I don't think they could pull it off any other way.
Just let him do voice-over work. Hire a stuntman.
Reynolds has mannerisms? What? Where?
I'm against him exactly because he's too boring for such a crazy and kinda antsy character.
The CG version captures Deadpool pretty well to me. I don't think Reynolds is such a distinctive talent that he's the only one that could do Deadpool well. If he does get the part, I would expect two, related things: 1) his being maskless a lot; 2) change to the character so he can look like Ryan Reynolds with his mask off.
I definitely agree with karamazov80 that such an entertaining character would be wasted in the Singerverse.
I have a tough time imagining this as R. They will probably try for a PG-13, but how much of the charm of Deadpool (insane violence is a key ingredient) can remain at that point? We'll see. One thing working in its favor is that the MPAA doesn't treat violence in itself as nearly as important as sexual situations in their rating system.
I can't be mad at you for using one of my old stand-by moves, Khev.
A censored PG13 movie could work. When he curses too much he gets bleeped , when there's nudity or the violence is too graphic, it gets pixelated, and because Deadpool is a self-aware Looney Tunes character and he knows he's in a film, he can make fun of it, and it can be a running joke. Then when the film comes out on DVD/bluray, we get both the theatrical and the unrated version, with the blood, bad language, nudity..ect..

I can just imagine Deadpool cutting a guy's head off or a guy in the chest and no blood comes out and he's like, "There goes the PG13 rating. Wait..where's the blood? Oh..come on, really fox?" He looks in the guy's chest hole, "Hello, anything in there?" Looks at the camera, "Well, I guess I have to add the Fox executives to my list." Something like that, but better of course.
An actor who can improvise is important in a role like that, because the script can only go so far in certain situations. Imagine Robin Williams playing that character, he doesn't look right, but someone like him could improvise and make the best out of any situation or scene. I don't know if Reynolds is good at improvising.
I wonder how they'll do the eyes on the mask
Oh, I agree with you on that. And my favorite films in the franchise are also X2 and DOFP, but in fairness, First Class gave us a really restricted, and kind of odd lineup. If they had substituted in the original comic team somehow, and kept everything else pretty much the same, it probably would be at the same level as those other two in my mind.
Wasn't this for the deadpool short or was it for another film?
