I don't know much about Deadpool, do we have any idea who this character is?
ReplyDeleteDeadpool is my fav comic character! CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS. Also i hope Crystal Reed gets lead female!
ReplyDeleteCould be a few different people. Maybe Death, if they have the rights to her.
ReplyDeleteI personally get the giggles thinking about Baccarin reacting to Deadpool, for reasons I can not explain.
Pretty good casting pool. Now I just wonder which character they are casting for....
ReplyDeleteCould it be her: http://marvel.wikia.com/Mercedes_Wilson_(Earth-616)
ReplyDeleteDeadpool's origin story is best told by himself, as an untrustworthy narrator. He's too crazy to remember for sure. Either way, I doubt it's significant enough for his pre-Cancer wife to be the female lead.
ReplyDeleteRouting for Morenca Baccarin!
ReplyDeleteRebecca Rittenhouse, then Morena Baccarin, Not Crystal Reed, I liked her on Teen Wolf, but I Don't think she would fit well with DP.
ReplyDeleteWoah, a lot of great actresses aiming for the role!
ReplyDeleteWill be happy with any of them, but I'm leaning towards Morena Baccari
Rooting for Crystal Reed. It would be awesome to see her in this and nice to see her in a more mature role. Besides its more her age and not teenager like Teen Wolf. But who is the character suppose to be?
ReplyDeleteOMG PLEASE BE MORENA BACCARIN!!! I love her so much, she was brilliant in Stargate SG-1 and V :)
ReplyDeleteMorena Baccarin and/or Jessica De Gouw Please!
ReplyDeleteHere for Crystal Reed!
ReplyDeleteThe only one i can think about is Death. How they would fit that in without making the movie ridiculous is beyond me. Though Deadpool was one of the few characters to repeatedly break the fourth wall, so, a certain amount of ridiculousness is to be expected.
ReplyDeleteGo Morena!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to both Morena and Crystal
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about Deadpool lore, but man, would it be cool to see either Morena Baccarin or Taylor Schilling in a badass physical role in a superhero movie. They'd both be extremely capable of the job.
ReplyDeleteCompletely unfamiliar with the other actresses testing.
Kinda hoping that Marvel held on to the rights for Death
ReplyDeleteIt's FOX so very likely a non-comic canon character that will pose as Deadpools targer turning lover
ReplyDeleteI want Morena or Crystal.
ReplyDeleteI think they probably do have her, considering she began in a property that was never licensed. I could see them not using her in Infinity War, though.
ReplyDeletealthough begs the question...how can you license a character like "Death" to begin with?
ReplyDeleteMorena Baccarin.
