A film that I never thought would get made has wrapped principle filming according to Ryan Reynolds.
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.
Ryan Reynolds stars as the title character alongside TJ Miller as Weasel, Gina Carano as Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin as Copycat and Ed Skrein as Ajax. The film will also feature the mutant Colossus, though Daniel Cudmore has confirmed he will not appear as the character. Reynolds has alsoexpressed a desire that Hugh Jackman might cameo as Wolverine, though it remains unconfirmed if he will appear.
Tim Miller is directing the movie from a script by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
Deadpool is scheduled for a release on February 12, 2016. An R-Rated classic awaits? Let’s hope!
