Ryan Reynolds Gets Wolverine Spinoff

• Tweet

Based on the huge success of X-Men Origins, Ryan Reynolds has signed on for a spinoff in which he will play wolverine.

20th Century Fox is said to be already prepping the script for ‘Deadpool,” as a spin-off for the Wolverine character played by Ryan Reynolds in their current Hugh Jackman cash-cow. And the buff Mr. Reynolds is locked in to star. Deadpool, for those who have so far avoided the X-Men bug, is a hugely popular member of Marvel’s comic-book family, and the 33-year old Canadian was almost pre-destined to take on the role - In one Marvel issue, Deadpool is described as cross between “a Shar Pei and Ryan Reynolds.” So getting cast was a breeze!

I have to admit, his character in the movie was pretty hilarious.
