they were gunna get that guy from Donnie Darko to be Peter Parker, but they went with Tobey

Jake Gyllenhaal? he wouldve been good...Tobey Maguire has the look of Peter Parker, i just dont like his voice

Gyllenhaal wouldve had a better voice

so lately i heard that fox had optioned Deadpool as a movie choice-here's my cast for that movie-
Deadpool-Michael Keaton (doing the Beetlejuice voice)
T-Ray- The Rock
Weasil-Mo Rocca
Blind Al-Bea Arthur
Typhoid Mary-Fairuza Balk
Bullseye-Collin Farrel (I actually liked his portrayal)
Wolverine-Hugh Jackman
Siryn-Lindsey Lohan
Kid Deadpool-Chris O'Donnel

(remember, Deadpool's a parody)

Michael Keaton?? in the mask, alright, for his voice, but who would play Wade Wilson? Keaton is NOT Wilson.

how about Hayden Christiansen reusing his surplus darth vader makup from episode III?

with the makeup sure, but i heard that they are already getting that guy from National Lampoon's Van Wilder(he was Van Wilder). He's in Blade: Trinnity also

Oh!!!!Is it true about the Marvel movies!!!Oh come On!!!!!

Vin Diesel would be a good Deadpool. His voice would match the burnt toast look Wade's got goin on, and he's got the body too. Don't know if he can do comedy though, and Deadpool is pretty damn funny.

How is Deadpool a parody? Whats it a parody of...Assasins that DON'T have a sense of humor?

How bout Iron Man? I heard Tom Cuise was attached 😘, but that was a while ago. Timothy Dalton wouldve been perfect, but he's a bit old now. Johnny Depp would be awesome, he could totally do the millionaire-alcoholic-superhero-thing.

Finally, GARY OLDMAN MUST PLAY DOCTOR DOOM!!!! I will accept no less for the superest supervillain ever!

read the 97 run, he just rips on spider-man constantly.

oh, and Vin Diesel sucks my left one. the only actors who could play a good deadpool would be like, Michael keaton, Jason lee, or Bruce Campbell.

Well yeah, and there was the Spider-Man parody cover, but I think Deadpool stands on his own.

Vin is too buff for Deadpool. you need someone lean and fit.

Oldman for Dr. Doom!!!!

and yes, Tom Cruise is still playing the role of Tony Stark/Ironman. he better not ruin it.

Ugly hulk to human a face. One thing marvel has learned about their characters in the books is that even the disfigured ones must be attractive. Attractive ugly works, just plain ugly is a bust.
Xaviar should be like 44 not 144, stweart is 12 yrs to old
Cyke should be a real man not some wishy stand up boyman
I see storm as taller and built with beauty muscles like the bodybuilders only swimmer quality, more like the body of the black chick from james bond.
Wolverine should have been short and very hairy and more disheaveled, not really careing about his sexuality or who he attracts but handsome no the less.

the black chick from james bond IS storm(Halle Berry)

Vin too buff for Deadpool???? I'm thinking of the Ian McGuiness version, which is my favorite. He's pretty big in that run. Vin's not my favorite actor, but he's got a "look". As a comic fan I appreciate any buffed guy that can at least look good and act his way out of a paper bag. There are not enough potential superhero-types in Hollywood. Honestly, since most of these characters are so dear to our hearts, I think unknowns work best, but names sell movies.

Now, Bruce Campbell, THATS a good choice. That would be hilarious, and it would mean Raimi would be directing, as no one else on the planet will hire the guy for some reason.

Halle Berry can cram it with walnuts. Angela Basset is the perfect Storm. Ooo, that was a bad pun, sorry.

Ed McGuiness, not Ian. and i liked what's-that-guy's-name from the later issues too, like issue 67. great art.

Ed's version

That other guy

yeah they rewrote alot of the story line though...but Yuriko and Deathstrike are still the same character...just with some minor changes
