T.J. Miller And Ed Skrein Eyed For Key Roles Alongside Ryan Reynolds In DEADPOOL

Deadpool is a little more than a year away, and Fox are finally looking to cast other key roles outside of Ryan Reynolds as the Merc With a Mouth as both T.J. Miller (Transformers: Age of Extinction) and Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones) are now being eyed. Who as? Read on for details...

It looks like the cast of Deadpool is finally coming together, with T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley) and Ed Skrein (The Transporter Legacy) in early talks to join the cast of the X-Men spinoff. Tim Miller is directing, while Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick penned the screenplay. Ryan Reynolds has of course been confirmed as starring, and the movie was finally given a release date of February 12th, 2016 late last year. According to the site Miller's role will see him serve as "an additional comic voice to compliment Deadpool, who often breaks the fourth wall and speaks directly to the audience." Could that be Bob, Agent of HYDRA or Weasal perhaps? Skrein meanwhile - whose talks are said to be further along - looks set to play the movie's villain, but there are no specifics on which character that will end up being. T-Ray seems like a safe bet, but we'll have to wait and see!

This film has jumped up to be one of my most anticipated films of 2016 alongside Suicide Squad, Civil War, and Batman v Superman.

@EzioKenway1225 I wonder if he has the dual rights thing like QS/SW.

TJ Miller is THE PERFECT person to play DP's voice. If you haven't watched Silicon Valley, go, drop whatever you're doing and watch Silicon Valley!

Could Deadpool break the fourth wall and make fun of CBM studios and all the rights-related issues? Can Fox do that without getting sued?

Man 2016 is going to be INSANE, and can someone tell me if FOX owns the right's to Bob? I would love to see Bob in a DeadPool movie, but Bob is apart of Hydra :/

@XMenMarvelFan
Whether they do or not, @NovaCorpsFan wrote a brilliant line where Deadpool introduces his friend Bob and says "Bob works for-" but his voice tells him they'll get sued if he finishes the sentence.

I'm guessing Marvel Studios has the rights to Bob.

@DEVLIN712 LMFAO!!! Dude that would be PERFECT, man this DeadPool movie CAN make fun of Marvel Studios, Sony, and DC if they play their cards right.

@Superior Yeah I think you're right :/

Ed Skrein could be playing Slayback, another Deadpool villain I remember from the 90s.
Also Ed kind of looks like Slayback too

Why are people thinking that Miller would be Deadpool's inner voice? Reynolds will do all of the Deadpool voice work, as well as the mo-cap and physical portrayal. Miller will be ANOTHER character who COMPLIMENTS Deadpool.
