Twentieth Century Fox has added three more superheroes to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," with Ryan Reynolds set to play Deadpool, "Friday Night Lights" regular Taylor Kitsch to star as Gambit and hip-hop artist will.i.am joining the cast as John Wraith.

Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston and Lynn Collins round out the cast as Victor Creed/Sabretooth, Col. William Stryker and Kayla Silver Fox, respectively.

Hugh Jackman reprises the role of Wolverine in the "X-Men" spinoff that Gavin Hood is lensing in New Zealand, Australia and New Orleans. Pic bows May 1, 2009.

David Benioff penned the script, which would reveal the origins of the Wolverine character and introduce other mutants not yet seen in the "X-Men" franchise.

Marvel has been eyeing the possibility of casting Reynolds as Deadpool, an assassin with self-healing powers, for some time with the idea of spinning off the character into his own film series should the character prove popular among moviegoers.

Fox and Marvel have also long wanted to add the card-throwing character of Gambit to the "X-Men" franchise but could never find a way to give him enough screen time among the many other mutants that have appeared in each film.

Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am will play Wraith, a mutant who has the power to teleport, and is another test subject of the Weapon X program that created Wolverine and other mercenaries. It would be his first film role.

Lauren Shuler Donner and Ralph Winter are producing with Jackman and his Seed Prods. producing partner John Palermo. Marvel's Kevin Feige exec produces.

Fuck. Yeah.

:nikkei:

edit: actually, a bit skeptical with Reynolds, but this is good news either way

Reynolds sounds perfect to me

all Ryan Reynolds movies are constant one liners for good and for bad, which pretty much sums up the diolague in a typical issue of Deadpool

[LD]

Agreed, I can't think of anyone better for Deadpool.

I just can't see why so many have a hard-on for Deadpool. In my eyes he's just another lame Rob Liefeld creation back from the New Mutants days. I know he's full of one-liners & funny dialogue but it hardly warrants making him an awesome character. Conversely, I think it will be interesting to see Ryan Reynolds portray Deadpool in the Wolverine movie. But I can almost guarantee we won't see the red mask(hello X-men costumes w/o masks in the movies).

[Sho]

Holy shit. I hope he breaks the 4th Wall in the movies and realize he's in one too.

[Scythiroth]

I wasn't really looking forward to this Wolverine movie, but now it seems to be much better. I might have to check it out now (maybe after I see a trailer or two first though).

The latest Wolverine comic with Deadpool doing the big protracted fight just to set wolverine up to have a piano dropped on him reminded me why I liked Deadpool.

So good news, Deadpool on the big screen.

Bad news, it's going to be in the Wolverine movie. >_>

Because like some of Liefeld's other creations (Cable and Shatterstar come to mind), Deadpool was de-lamed by better writers and turned into a much cooler character.

On the other hand, Wolverine was an interesting character, but his subsequent over-exposure to appease the restless fan-boy masses ruined him.

I was hoping for Burt Reynolds.

I wouldnt to much about it. If they dont totally fuck up Deadpool in the movie somehow I can see him getting his own movie.

Goddammit, re-reading Deadpool, brb

[Neosutra]

How did his face get all fucked up if he has super healing?

[sb]

I am very skeptical of this. On the one, hand he is a great character. On the other, I really hated how they made the last X-Men movie into a Hugh/Halley with a side cast movie by just killing off anyone who had any potential to keep from turning into just that.
