Ryan Reynolds On Playing Deadpool In X-FORCE; "I Don't Know What [That] Is"

It appears as if Ryan Reynolds is finally getting sick of being asked about playing Deadpool in his own solo movie, although for those of you hoping he might get the opportunity in Jeff Wadlow's X-Force.

For some reason, no one ever seems to ask Ryan Reynolds about reprising the role of Green Lantern in another solo movie or Justice League (was it really that forgettable?), but he IS plagued by constant questions about a certain Merc With A Mouth. Talking to MTV recently while promoting R.I.P.D., the actor was asked whether Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow's upcoming take on X-Force will give him the opportunity to finally play Deadpool on the big screen. "If I knew what X-Force was I would. I don't know what X-Force is, but that sounds great." So, either it's too soon for Fox to have reached out to him with an offer or he's playing coy. Either way, as time continues to pass, the chances of seeing Reynolds as the character seem to reduce more and more rapidly.

He DID play Deadpool on the big screen. Albeit some dumbed down distorted & corrupted version of Deadpool but the character nonetheless.

You know, Reynolds is nowhere near the only actor who can pull off Deadpool.

Sounds a lot like he's playing dumb because of contract bindings, which would mean a contract is signed

Why do they try make him sound like a jer in this article? The guy has probably read a lot of Deadpool/ X-men comics...just not every single one...

The actors who will be hired don't know what X-Force is either. only people aware of comics world know

If he's familiar with X-Men, Deadpool he should be at least be vaguely familiar with the wider universe.
LucasMend
LucasMend - 7/15/2013, 4:10 PM
The group I'm hoping to see in the movie: Cable, Dedpool, Psylocke, Domino, Warpath.

Also, if Deadpool is used, they'll probably use stuff from his solo movie script. like they did with magneto on first class.

He's playing dumb, he's widely known as being a huge fan of Deadpool.

I think this will be the only way to get to see Reynolds play Deadpool again is in the X-force movie and probably not in a solo film.

if they do make an X-Force movie and deadpool is in it i hope they use the proper deadpool not the one from origins

I can't rant on DC when they have no news.

I would say he's faking it. He and Scarlet were huge comic book collectors, remember? He knows what X-Force is but my guess is they told him there were going to be announcements in San Diego. Hell, he's mentioned X-Force before when talking about Deadpool in the past. Not to mention that there have been multiple interviews with him where he talks about how he has collected comic books most of his life.

I would love for some ripped stunt guy to play Deadpool masked the whole movie and maybe Nolan North can do the voice.

@Comedian666 Maybe he was faking it before to please us

Ryan Reynolds made a good Deadpool, I liked his comedic moments in Origins.
I would like to see him return.

Give him a break, not many people will have heard of X-Force and Deadpool in Origins wasn't exactly ripped from the comics, so I doubt he needed to read any comicbooks.
CherryBomb
CherryBomb - 7/15/2013, 4:30 PM
OR maybe he's just bluffing us.

Well if Cherry Bomb says so, a break he has.
