Again, you're casting based on looks. Deadpool is wearing a mask or horribly disfigured for 99% of his time on screen. You're telling me a Nightcrawler Gyllenhaal can't pull off Deadpool, sans dikk jokes every other second? Any aged Jim Carrey is a better choice than Reynolds. Jim Carrey is better at the one thing Ryan is decent at, and vastly better at a ton more. Robin Williams would have been better, with good stunt doubles. You're telling me Jamie Foxx couldn't capture the essence of Wilson if given an opportunity? Plenty of people could be Deadpool. There's only been one, so we automatically attribute the character to him, but it's moreso because he's the perfect character for Ryan to play, not because nobody else could do it as good or better.
To
@Art Barr point about leading men....am I the only one who remembers Green Lantern? Deadpool fits into Reynolds skills perfectly, but could most def be done better by better, more charismatic actors
Not a harsh counter...
But....
Hell nah.
Reynolds took the reins of a dead defunct drawing character. That flopped on the big screen and made it a passion project.
to the only blockbuster on the block.
this year success in a trilogy.
Reynolds made this work by a baptism of fire. There is no one else who could have or be deadpool. As Reynolds really created this from his passion project to be what it is. Nobody else did it and I am NOt about to speculate.
on someone else doing it.
who has not done it anywhere else.
Stop this. Try to discredit shyt from the grassroots type hate. Deadpool was made through fire. Career over no draw gamble it all on yourself fire. There is no one else that cam play Deadpool. If it was. Where is this blockbuster character made through fire to give them equal nod to doing so. It does not exist. Just like this idea.
somebody else could have.
or be deadpool other than Reynolds.
There is nobody else who can play or be deadpool beside Reynolds, period. Stop the cap.
Reynolds would have to find a Greg capullo level out of the box replacement. Which will never be Todd McFarlane on spawn. Regardless of how much people like capullo's style change under the McFarlane umbrella.
Same here. Nobody else is Deadpool. Or equivalent. Outside of reynolds finding a capullo level replacement. Which would only occur. From reynolds being like McFarlane was able to see capullo.
Which would.never happen.
As it makes no sense.
Plus the speculatigr actor. Would need to showcase their own grassroots gateway blockbuster attempt. Birthed through fire and have leading man drawing parallel at the box office.
It does not exist.
So we not about to give credit to people doing sumfin. That really has not happened since like Stallone in rocky.
The only other comparable is:
Previously talked about :
BLADE BY WESLEY SNIPES
which is a whole nother thread.
on to itself about comic book movies in dialogue discussion.
Right now we can keep this supes. Which already has deviated. Yet I am game for closing the door on speculative what if's with logic. From that deviation ...yet this is supes. So I am NOt trying to take away completely from supes. When all comic anything is a supes issue in general. In this instance we need to focus on supes as a dialogue. As real talk. Supes is the hardest superhero to get right. Especially as time moves naturally forward. It gets progressively difficult.
in this progressively moral lacking moral less world.
Where supes is one of the only common gateways.
to moral decency all time in general.
One love to y'all
