Leslie Uggams, an African American actress has been cast as Blind Al in Deadpool. In the comics, Deadpool is sent to kill her, but ends up bonding with her. While it's been noted that Blind Al, among other will show up in the film, its unknown in what capacity.

When a Deadpool casting call was leaked it described Blind AI as: "Worldly, great sense of comedic timing, sarcastic, dry, funny." If Deadpool is a hit, we should expect to see more of Blind AI as the role called for a 3-picture deal.

What do you think of the casting? Sound off below!

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

I don't think I know her work, but looks-wise she's a solid choice.

I was hoping for Betty White. She would have been perfect because she has the same personality as Blind Al, and Pool loves Golden Girls.

If Betty White shows up in Deadpool it will be as herself.
