Hello Anonymous! I think your spelling skills indicate that you might not be aware of what the word ‘composite’ means… look it up.
Thanks for your input though.

Deadpool is the only mutant I like. I really hope he is given more than just two lines in the flick.

Deadpool is not a mutant. He is a normal guy who was givin Wolvarines healing factor.

I hope Taylor Kitsch makes a gret Gambit for the simple fact that Gambit is my favorite comic book character of all time. I’d hate to see him put in a movie and made a disgrace of!!

i would love to see this movie , i agree ryan reynolds would be a cool choise for dead pool, (voice may be a bit off) , Hugh Jackman makes a great wolverine , tho in the x-men movies he wasnt a big enough jerk,and Liev Schreiber would make a good sabertooth as well, hope there truth to this line up

They are looking to make a deadpool movie based off of reynolds. Also deadpools healing factor off wolverine was beefed up by a villian in the comics and he was made pretty much immortal as a sick way to punish him. So I would deffinitely consider him a mutant.

Gambit is my favorite comic character so they better do a good job with him, and it better make sense that he is even in the movie. I also think the actor Vincent Cassell would have made a much better Gambit. As for Deadpool, its a good choice. I am disappointed Maverick isn’t in the movie. he was a big part of Logan’s early Weapon X days with Sabretooth. Not sure how they r gonna tie Cyclops in either. I am worried that with Gambit they are just trying to stick another face that ppl wanna see just for the sake of having it there. I mean, how many ppl wanna see this if for no other reason than to see Gambit on the screen. I know u can count me among that group. I just hope they don’t screw it up.

I think the casting for this movie is spot on dont know how theyll worj the story but I am certain theyll make it work…
…cant wait, I really hope this does lead into a “MAJOR MARVEL DEAL for Reynolds his role as Hanibal King in Blade III was terrific…if he can BULK up like that and just act like a smart ass (as usual) hell be perfect for the MERC w/a MOUTH…Im curious to see the BLOB though too I wonder if itll be CG or a big “monkey suit” either way Kevin Durand (see walking tall) seems to be a good choice AND has the acting chops in my eyes, than you have Liev and his “chops” he looks like CREED write of the pages of MARVEL
…even “Remy” looks good, I just hope he can act…Gambit is def a fan fav

Deadpool is a MUTATE, like Spiderman, Mr. Sinister, The Fantastic Four and many, many more superheroes and villians. Liev Schreiber may make an okay Victor Creed however Tyler Mane is tried and tested and looks fantastic as the mutated wildman. Perhaps Liev Schreiber’s extensive acting career will prove to overcome his less vicious appearence. As with regards to Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, am I the only person who thinks ‘man, isn’t he in everything these days?’ yes he’s quick witted, one of Deadpool’s characteristics, but again it will come down to acting and his ability to draw us in. To finish up I must say I am practically over the moon that Gambit finally has the chance to appear in at least on of the Marvel films. I think the fact that Bryan Singer despised him was not enough reason to cut him out of the Xmen and X2 movies. And I was dissapointed Brett Ratner never stepped up to the mark and included this complicated yet vital member of the Xmen. It will be interesting to see if anyone can pull of that French/Cajun accent believably. One point I wanted to make was that although synopsis for the film isn’t giving much away I have heard William Stryker’s name mentioned… I feel that X2 ran away with the plotline there as the character was just a mutant hating bible nut in the comics… true followers of the Marvel world just can’t buy into this ‘grab a character name from the hat and let’s put him in the film’ thing. I hope there will be substance to the plot surrounding Stryker.
Super-Hyped and can’t wait…

Hay “I hate comics!” n/m, your not worth the effort…
I too HIGHLY anticapate this film it’ll be cool to see them tie STRYKERS character (and knowledge of Remy) into his character from X2…
…if you remember when Mystique hacks into Strykers files before Deathstrike catches her Remy’s is one of the names she stumbles across….of many…
ANYWHO, I think Schreiber will play the part well and they needed a “real actor” because of the amount of time I imagine we will see Creed.
As for Wade, I CANT wait to see Reynolds as Deadpool. His smart-ass acting (and build) we saw in BLADE TRINITY will be perfect for “THE MERC W/A MOUTH”

Ryan Reynolds would make a great Deadpool, he has the cheeky character of him and could pull off the quotes really well. Also Deadpool compares himself to Reynolds in one comic which woud make Deadpool fans, like me, giggle mildly at the concidence.

hopefully taylor kitsch can play a good gambit if he doesnt i will be mad. Gambit in my opinion is the best X-men character. also ryan reynolds is just a great actor overall so he should do well

well as for gambit the only person that comes to mind (and it pains me very much to say this) i think Keanu Reeves would do best (if he wasn’t a horrible actor)

I would be upset to say the least if anyone ever let Keanu Reeves play Gambit. No way he could pull that off.
I hope Taylor Kitsch does a good job, he certainly has the look for the role.
Tyler Mane was absolutely worthless in the first XMen movie, i’m hoping that not only Liev Schreiber makes it work this time, but the writers don’t screw the character over as well, like they did in XMen. He does seem a bit small though :-s

IMO Kitsch makes a great Remy.. but I’m also miffed that from what I’ve seen they’ve left his eyes normal. .I just hope he can pull off the accent.. it just wouldn’t be Gambit w/out the accent ^_~

Looking at the trailers and the cast list on IMDB, it doesn’t look like my favorite Wolverine adversary will make the cut…

This movie is going to be great! Ryan better come up with that humor that Deadpool is so known for. Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth! Hells Yeah. Wonder about the other Mutants connected indirectly to Wolverine through the others in this movie? It’ll be interesting to see how Will.i.am will do.
hehehe ryan and taylor

found this great website where you can download bootleg movies and I found and watched Origins already. The quality was excellent. only problem was that it was the most recent rough cut of the film so there were scenes here and there where they had yet to add in the special effect. I won’t say anything to spoil it but, basically, I was thoroughly satisfied with almost every character. Liev as Creed was a great choice, Kitsch-another good choice, Reynolds-awesome, even the guy who played Blob was a great casting choice. Ultimately highly entertaining and “thirst quenching”.

They’ve already messed around with the X-men series hopefully this one will turn out well. I think the major problem is going to be shifting the war from WWII to Vietnam. Its missing the enemy that every comic book in the 60s had. There won’t be the anti-Soviet feelings in the movie. It’ll be interesting to see how it turns. I might not pay for it the first time around but if its could ill definitely watch it a couple more times.

movie was good already saw it gambit was great but i didnt get enough of him! It felt like he was just put in the movie randomly and he didnt really do much!! some parts were cheezy, the actions scenes are fucking great oh and maverick is in the movie he’s agent zero if you guys didnt know. but id say its better then the thrid x-men

gambit is a great comic book character and i believe taylor kitsch will do well playing him, i also think that colin farell would make a good gambit, but i cant complain, the casting is great anyway.

May 8th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
oh also, another argument in favour of colin farell playing remy is the accent, he has it, i know he’s irish but please watch the movie phone booth and you will know what i mean

Saw the movie, it was perhaps one of the best movies to hit 09 so far. I hate the way the made Dead pool’s face…and where is his mask and his sword. The weapon he was holding, wasn’t his correct sword…also, they could of given Dead Pool a suit or something, make him look like a true “Fighta”
