In case you haven't heard, it's true. The star Ryan Reynolds, known for his lead role in "Van Wilder," will be playing the villainous Wade Wilson (also known as Deadpool) in the upcoming film "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which is due to be released on May 1 of 2009.His character grows up in an unstable, abusive family, as many comic book and graphic novel antagonists do. After developing terminal cacner, he volunteers for the controversial Weapon X program, designed to genetically alter body and mind. Of course this experiment turns deadly wrong when the cancer and the genetic changes interact, resulting in a psychotic murder machine. As you may have predicted, Wolverine becomes one of his many enemies.
I do not usually have faith in Reynolds' roles, especially serious ones, but if Ledger can break his type casting and successfully play a comic book villain, (which he did so incredibly well), Reynolds should be able to pull it off.
