Ryan Reynolds is attached to reprise Deadpool, the whipping, smart-cracking mercenary in X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a spinoff from the box office winner.  

Deadpool’s character is described as “the merc with a mouth.”  If you are one of the few people who didn’t’ see the film, Reynolds played the character that lived up to his description in Wolverine until the end, when the movie deviated from the comic book persona, imbuing him with several superpowers and sewing his mouth shut according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Of course, Reynolds would regain the ability to use his mouth again while the movie goes back to the roots of the character known for his slapstick tone and tendency to break the fourth wall.

Again if you saw the movie, you’d know that the Reynolds’ character was disfigured in Wolverine.  We can only speculate at this time how much the studio would want to deal with the looks of the character. Reynolds’ is a handsome dude, so let’s see his good-looking kisser producers.

Here is a little bit of behind-the-scenes scoop from the Reporter.  Apparently, producers had decided on a Deadpool spinoff early in Wolverine’s production, which is why Reynolds was cast for the part. The actor was brought back in the month before the movie’s release to shoot one of two “Easter egg” scenes that appeared after the end credits. The scene showed Deadpool alive, even though when last seen on the screen audiences saw him appear to be dead.

The magic of movies amazes me.
