Ryan Reynolds Talks Deadpool!

Ryan Reynolds Talks Deadpool!

In this article you will receive the latest word on the Deadpool Suit, the Deadpool Trailer, and Ryan also sheds light on what it is like being cast as both Deadpool and The Green Lantern!

In regard's to the Deadpool suit, Reynolds responds when MTV asked him if he has seen or tried on the infamous costume:

"No, there's no Deadpool suit that I've tried on,"

In response to the upcoming Deadpool trailer:

"I've told Fox already that the only way there's ever gong to be a 'Deadpool' trailer is if Deadpool makes his own trailer," he laughed. "He needs to be talking to the movie audience ... with the movie trailer voice: 'In a world... gone mad... one man... must stand alone...'"

Sounds good to me. Reynolds off course is playing this one pretty close to the chest, Ryan went on to say:

"You want to find the best version of what's in the comic books, but like a lot of [characters], Deadpool has one of the more inconsistent narratives," he told MTV News. "It's tough, because the series has been dropped and reopened so many times. You really have to pick and choose so many of the best elements and cobble those together and create the movie of your dreams."

"Oddly enough, I think the suit is the easiest task, " he added. "It's such a cool-looking suit, too. It's just deciding on the material and stuff, but that comes into play once you get a script."

Just dont take so many creative liberties that Deadpool loses his identity. That's all I ask.



Can Ryan play two huge iconic characters so close together you ask:

"There's such a vast difference between the characters, and I think people forget that I'm an actor," said Reynolds. "These are roles that just happened to fall under the umbrella of the comic book universe."

"I think there was some concern that I would make Green Lantern some kind of wise-cracking Wade Wilson-type, and that's not the case at all," he explained. "If that's what they wanted, why would I have screen-tested for the movie?"

Reynolds went on to elaborate his feelings of playing Deadpool and Green Lantern and how happy he is to be fortunate enough to land both roles:

"With the 'Deadpool' role, I've had a take on that for close to eight years now," he said. "You want to talk about gratifying? The fact that this is even being considered as a franchise right now is truly one of the highlights of my entire career."

"When you've wanted something this long and this badly, to have someone say, 'Yeah, we'll make it,' is a pretty amazing moment," laughed Reynolds.

Ryan is a happy camper for now. But he has to get these two large, important roles right or it could end up hurting his career rather then helping it.

Wow, 3 Deadpool movie articles, 3 days in a row. Cool stuff.

Hopefully what he said about Green Lantern not being jokey will ease some people's hatred of him for the role a bit. I've thought from the beginning that Hal won't be the usual Reynolds' comedic character.

Cool, I really have faith that Reynolds will do a good job with both Deadpool and Green Lantern. I think he'd make a pretty good Hal and like he said he IS an actor, he does play different roles once in a while. Plus he looks A LOT like Hal.

i agree with him about playing both roles they are totally different in totally different universes i like the idea of deadpool doin his own trailer that would be like some of the comics where he narrates the story himself i just hope that they can capture the tone of deadpool its tricky to put on screen without being campy but deadpool pretty much played the role in blade 3 i have high hopes for this movie ill definitely be seeing it and i think hell also nail the green lantern role reynolds is a lot more than a joking comedic actor

Whatever they do for the Deadpool movie, they need to just forget the character ever happened in Wolverine: Origins. One of the most completely mangled character representations in CBM history. The Merc with a Mouth, huh? Hmmm…let's take away his mouth! Brilliant!

Thank god you can say what you want about the man but reynolds knows how to keep fans happy and show the version eveyone would love.

personally i think they should go with te deadpool comics that are being made now because its deadpool at his best

For some reason, I think both of these movies are going to turn out excellent.

Like I said , fox should sell it's x men and all x men character rights over to some one who really cares about the story and its characters and source material.

Hawks: I have a very strong feeling about Green Lantern, but less so for Deadpool. The Zombieland writers coming on is a good sign, but I still don't have that gut feeling about the movie. The way Fox incinerated (metaphorically speaking) the character in Origins, it's going to take a lot to get me fully on board with the movie. The director might clinch it for me. Until then, I remain cautiously optimistic.

Yeah, I'm not sure they can pull off a decent Deadpool movie after what they did to him in wolverine. Even though true fans disliked that movie it sold relatively well so you know Fox is going to want to tie deadpool to it, they're not going to just reboot it because that would be like admitting they screwed up wolverine and as far as they're concerned wolverine was a hit.

sagekilz - 12/8/2009, 3:13 PM
literally in a nerd coma anticipating these 2 movies.
Hawksblueyes
Hawksblueyes - 12/8/2009, 3:16 PM
Tyler: So far everything I've read has indicated that it will be a reboot and not connected to Wolverine at all. I also remember Reynolds saying how disappointed he was with what the studio did to the character and that he would only be involved with a Deadpool movie if they corrected the character. So I'm extremely hopefull for this.


That being said, it wouldn't take alot to prove me wrong.LOL!!

2011 and 2012 are going to be incredible CBM years. I cant wait for either of these movies. They are both going to be amazing. Unless someone like Ratner or Hood, then its a lost cause. The trailer idea is the best way to go about it. It would give people the feel of who Deadpool is

I'm more pumped for GL though. With the director of Casino Royal it cant go wrong lo. This movie could truly bring DC back into good standings.
dancingmonkey08
dancingmonkey08 - 12/8/2009, 3:21 PM
Wow sounds like he has real love for both of the characters particularly Deadpool. If they could get a good director and the writers of Zombieland, this could be an awesome movie

I like Ryan's idea for the Deadpool trailer though, it would be hilarious

aroyalspider - 12/8/2009, 3:26 PM
Hey guys, if you wanna see Ryan in something that shows he's not a one trick pony then check out "the Nines".
It' definitely something beyond his "normal" roles.

Excellent article jman! :)

Reynolds' idea for the trailer sounds brilliant! I can just imagine how hilarious that would be!! I just hope that Fox dont [frick] this one up!

Guys, go check out my DEADPOOL FAN CAST under "Fan Fic"!!!

reynolds rocks. he'll do a fine job. i just pray deadpool isn't as bad as wolverine. it has such potential to be a great film cause it's already a great character.

meh hugh said the same thing before wolverine, he said he'd only play wolverine if the studio did right. He was so pumped for the role and told us how great it was going to be...and look what we got... I don't blame hugh tough just like I don't blame ryan for loving the character but my faith in fox is zero.

Why haven't we heard anything about actual production? So far it's just been stuff from Ryan Reynolds. Are they really making this movie?
Hawksblueyes

Betty: i can't believe you actually improved your avatar. That is bad to the bone.

peterparker420 - 12/8/2009, 3:45 PM
There is NOTHING better than MORE deadpool news!

MAN, I cant wait for this movie!

Renolds has the skills to play BOTH characters DIFERENTLY, well I guess he has to since their different characters!LOL

JOSH- GREAT CAST FOR DEADPOOL! MAN you do those quick!
on a side note I was watching "A Christmas Carol"
and scrooge said "I'll give you half a crown!"
does that mean he'll give him 50 cents? is a
"crown" a dollar? and what is a shilling? I
should know this since some of my family is
from the UK (greatgrand parents) but still just
wondering. LOL

saymekian - 12/8/2009, 3:49 PM
They should definitely get Daniel Way's (current writer for the Deadpool ongoing) input when it comes to writing Deadpool's character. It is Deadpool's best run yet, and he knows the character better than anyone.

Ryan is going to own this role.

PETE: Thanks bud! :) I'm working on an X-Men: First Class cast right now which I might post tonight! I'm not sure how I get through them so quickly to be honest! Anyway, I'm too young (19) to remember but I just asked my dad and apparently that was old money before decimalisation in the 70's when we the adopted the pound and pennies - half a crown was 12 and a half pence (at least when he was a kid in the 60's) and a shilling was 5p! Confusing as hell really isnt it, lol? Now we have 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 coins and £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes! :)

i dont know if i trust the Deadpool movie since its been produce by FOX Studio

good luck to him with Green Lantern and Deadpool if he mess up with both movies the backlash from fans will be big
RockNRollCC
RockNRollCC - 12/8/2009, 4:25 PM
great article Jman!

This Deadpool news just gets better and better. lets pray FOX does this movie right!

Does any1 think reynolds could play agent X as well? (Mabye if theres a sequal, cause I wanna see Deadpool's proper origin, taskmaster, and Vs T-Ray 1st!)
BruceWayneNewton
BruceWayneNewton - 12/8/2009, 4:52 PM
I bet we will see a a lot more movies out of Marvel before we see Deadpool. He is a cool character but there are a lot of others (besides The Avengers) I think we will be seeing before him again.
JesuCrisco
JesuCrisco - 12/8/2009, 5:05 PM
This movie would be great if a director and Ryan Reynolds had more say. I just hope the studios don't screw this one like with what happened to Origins and Spiderman 3. Sure they made tons of money but they lacked acclaim and integrity like TdK and Iron Man.
Set2Fallfirst
Set2Fallfirst - 12/8/2009, 5:10 PM
Great find Jman! He will do them both with justice : ] i know how he feels he deserves this 2 guys a girl and a pizza place was genious hahaha
Set2Fallfirst
Set2Fallfirst - 12/8/2009, 5:13 PM
what he said about voicing the trailer is one of he best idea they really need to use that if they dont they just threw away something fantastic
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/8/2009, 5:18 PM
Set2Fall: Hey man, did you see the latest episode of Dexter? Pretty amazing huh? :) By the way, I've put up a Deadpool cast and I'm working on an X-Men: First Class one now! I'll try and get around to your ideas soon though!

Dude I like the idea of making the trailer look like Deadpool made it himself! Thats hilarious!

48and2 - 12/8/2009, 5:47 PM
Thing that always amazes me is that Blade ever got made - aside from the Vampirism, it's such a dark off beat character and in that sense somewhat analogous to Deadpool... and they made three of them, all rated R. With Reynolds backing it, and if he does well in GL (which we all know he probably will), there's no doubt Deadpool will get made and maybe even fastracked.

If GL makes enough money, Reynold's will have a ton of pull and be able to do whatever he wants.

I still and always will be dissapointed that someone like Fillion didn't get GL, but Reynolds will pull it off fine.

Really diggin' the idea of Tarantino directing Deadpool.
