DEADPOOL: Ed Skrein Confirms He'll Play 'Ajax' In The Movie
When it was announced that former Game Of Thrones actor Ed Skrein had joined the cast of the Deadpool movie, all we had to go on was that he'd be playing a villain. Many seemed to think it'd be Garrison Kane, but now Skrein himself has confirmed that he'll be portraying the deadly Ajax...
Though we've known Ed Skrein would play a villainous character in Fox's Deadpool for a while now, the actor has confirmed via the following Tweet that the particular villain will be Ajax. In the comics, Ajax (aka Francis) was also a part of the Weapon X programme and, like Wade Wilson, was experimented on by the sadistic Dr. Killebrew. He's a formidable foe for the Merc With a Mouth, possessing enhanced strength, speed and agility... not to mention the fact that he's a remorseless killing machine.
Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, and Ed Skrein and will hit theaters on February 12, 2016 with a nice, juicy R rating.
