...its pretty safe to say he will accept the role of everyones merc with a mouth. Hopefully, we will also see Reynolds reprise the role again in the planned X-Force movie - now if only FOX could persuade fan favourite Terminator and Aliens star Michael Biehn to play Cable?
The Deadpool movie will be directed by Tim Miller, be written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and is reported to begin production next March.
