Hey everybody, if you’re not a fan of Deadpool, then kill yourself. If you ARE you came to the right place… The right place to crack your jokes of how horrible my casting is in this fan cast of the upcoming AWESOME Deadpool movie, if it ever goes into production.
Lets start.
Wade Wilson aka Deadpool played by Ryan Reynolds
You know, Ryan is a really underappreciated actor, well ever since that Green Lantern movie came out. Actually ever since the past TWO CBM’s he’s been in were horrible adaptations. Ryan is an amazing actor, if you saw Buried you know what I’m talking about, 95 min of just Ryan and STILL watchable. He IS Wade Wilson and that is final.
Notable Works: Buried, The Nines, Blade Trinity
Others I Considered: Sean William Scott, Ryan Kwanten
Blind Al played by Betty White
Just as Ryan is Wade, Betty is Blind Al. Ryan and Betty worked together on The Proposal and she is quite the hilarious old lady. I can really see Betty being Blind Al, going back and forth with Deadpool.
Notable Works: The Proposal, Hot in Cleveland, That one Snickers Commercial
Others I Considered: Helen Mirren, Lin Shaye
Weasel played by Leigh Whannell
This is a very original choice, since he really isn’t a well-known actor. He caught my eye when I saw Insidious, he was part of the comic relief in that movie. You probably have seen him act though, he was in the first Saw playing Adam, also writing the story for the Saw franchise as well. He looks the part of Weasel and can also be funny yet serious at times.
Notable Works: Insidious, Saw, Legend of the Guardians
Others I Considered: Justin Long, Jay Baruchel
Vanessa Carlysle played by Alice Eve
My first choice was Ali Larter, but I went with this fine piece of… Actress. In seriousness, Alice Eve is a sexy up and comer, doing a phenominal job wooing the audience in She’s Out of My League. Since Vanessa is, at the moment, only Vanessa and not Copycat, Alice just has to play the sexy lady she already is.
Notable Works: She’s Out of My League, Sex and the City 2, Crossing Over
Others I Considered: Ali Larter, Jena Malone
Francis aka Ajax played by Michael C Hall
I’m sure you all would agree with me on that Hall would do an amazing job at playing this psychotic character out for revenge. He plays a serial killer in Dexter so just take some of that tactic and put it into torture. Hall is an amazing actor and I think would do this role so much justice.
Notable Work: Dexter, Gamer, East Fifth Bliss
Others I Considered: Andy Whitfield, Christian Bale, Sam Worthington
Garrison Kane played by Eli Roth
For Garrison Kane you need someone quite big in stature and hella intimidating, so I came up with Eli Roth. For you all that don’t know or haven’t seen him in action, he is one scary ‘Basterd’. Playing the Bear Jew in Inglourious Basterds, he and his baseball bat were quite a duo. He would be a match for the ‘Pool while looking the part.
Notable Work: Inglourious Basterds, Grindhouse, Death Proof
Others I Considered: Jon Hamm, Ray Stevenson
Wyre played by Nick Tarabay
When I read the name Wyre, I think of a weasel, like someone who manipulates and is one sneaky bastard. In the Starz! Network’s Spartacus, Nick plays exactly the character I described. He is underrated and quite the actor, while looking like Wyre all the same.
Notable Work: Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
Others I Considered: Jay Hernandez
Sluggo played by Tanoai Reed
Tanoai is mainly a stuntman, being Dwayne Johnson’s stunt double. Since Sluggo has hardly any lines, but gets into some hefty fight sequences, I believe Tanoai would do great in the role. Standing at 6’4 with some lifts could look the 7’4 Sluggo is supposed to, towering over everyone else.
Notable Works: Priest, Iron Man 2, Batman Legends
Others I Considered: Dave Bautista, Matthew Willig
Dr. Killebrew played by Hugh Laurie
Who better to play an evil doctor than Mr. House himself? Hugh would pull this role off very well, already playing a psychotic doctor in House M.D., just make it a little more evil and we got ourselves Killebrew!
Notable Works: House M.D., Monsters vs Aliens, Street Kings
Others I Considered: Christopher Lloyd, Bill Nighy
Patch played by Jackie Earle Haley
JEH isn’t a newcomer to CBM’s playing a magnificent Rorschach in Watchmen. Visually he definitely fits the role, short, bald, the works. He definitely has the acting chops, even in this small role. I want to see JEH bring his performance from Human Target as Guerrero to here, except as a badass.
Notable Works: Watchmen, Human Target, Shutter Island
Others I Considered: None
Piotr Rasputen aka Colossus played by Owain Yeoman
Owain isn’t Russian, I know, but he is tall and can bulk up to look very big. I don’t think Colossus ever is in normal form in the movie, so all Owain has to do is look very big and pull off a Russian accent, which I'm sure he would be able to do.
Notable Work: The Mentalist, Generation Kill, Troy
Others I Considered: Armie Hammer, Alexander Nevsky
That’s my cast!
