Wolverine's Ryan Reynolds Dives In for Deadpool Spinoff

**DSM4Life** · 05-06-2009, 06:18 PM

It's official: The mutants are taking over Hollywood. And we're not talking about the freaks running the studios.

Following the monster weekend for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and a day after announcing that a Hugh Jackman-powered sequel is in the works, 20th Century Fox has confirmed to E! News that Jackman's costar Ryan Reynolds will be given his own spinoff and potential franchise-launcher as the Marvel Comics antihero Deadpool.

The 32-year-old Canadian actor, otherwise known as Mr. Scarlett Johansson, will again star as Wade Wilson, a wisecracking, cancer-stricken mercenary who's cured of the disease after undergoing the same Weapon X genetic alteration as Wolverine.

But along with superhuman powers, enhanced strength and self-regenerating healing powers, the slightly unhinged Deadpool can absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants.

Aside from Deadpool and the Wolverine sequel, Fox is also working on an X-Men spinoff focusing on Ian McKellen's villainous Magneto and another dubbed X-Men: First Class, which is being written by The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz.

**warchild** · 05-06-2009, 06:32 PM

big and bulky is just too much money, juice food and hard to maintain

**Deadpool** · 05-06-2009, 11:22 PM

Damn you Hollywood!

They are going screw this up worse than the Wolverine movie......

Maybe this should be called The Ryan Reynolds Appreciation Thread.

dude looks awesome compared to his earlier movies

What do you think his stats are? I think he would probably be around 6' tall?

He's cut right the eff up, really lean.

But I don't think he'd top off the scale much over 200lbs if that.

BF is impressive, and the build fits perfect for acting. 240lb monsters generally don't get star roles.
