From MTV Splashpage: Deadpool writers converse with Ryan Reynolds regularly
“We’re outlining it pretty seriously right now,” explained Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick writers of “Zombieland,” “We’re in the early stages.”
“We just absolutely adore the character and the comic,” explained Wernick. “And tonally, it’s right up our alley. He’s the unstable, smart-ass, self deprecating guy — and they say write what you know"
Writers express their excitement on the Deadpool project and have been developing with Deadpool star himself - Ryan Reynolds. They say that its a collaborative process, and they say Reynolds is smart and passionate about the character.
“What’s great about Ryan is that he’s been the keeper of the Deadpool flame for many years, he’s loved the character since forever; he lives it and breathes it,” Reese said of some of the specific ideas Reynolds has brought up to them. “We’re a little newer to Deadpool, although we’ve done a bit of catching up. One of the nice things about working with Ryan is that he tonally gets it — if we ever do something that is off the Deadpool path, or if it doesn’t feel like Deadpool, he catches it.”

Ryan Reynolds was really born to play this role. If only Fox did not Fox it up last time. This would have gone before Green Lantern and we might have some other actor better suited for GL.
Fox you Fox!
