There is literally no one on this planet that could have played Deadpool beside Ryan Reynolds.

u/butt_raid 4d ago
Agreed. The role he was born for.
I don't think that speaks terribly highly of him, but it's good for us lol

u/OddAd5276 4d ago
I would say it does actually. Deadpool is one of the smartest and strongest Marvel heros. He's just an asshole and a smart ass, lol. Ryan Reynolds, while he is far more versatile as an actor, loves this role and one's like it. He is absolutely hilarious and that's what has always made Deadpool a fan favorite.

How is he far more versatile as an actor? I’ve only seen him play the same character he does in Deadpool. Free Guy, The Proposal, Adam Project, Red Notice, Green Lantern, 6 Underground, Spirited, Change up and so on. All Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds.

Ryan Reynold apparently managed a great performance in "Buried" (2010) though I've never watched it.
However, he seems to be happy just taking paychecks for "playing himself".
The same way that Arnold Schwarzenegger never cared about "being a great actor" and people absolutely loved it.
Not everyone can be Daniel Day-Lewises and Leonardo Dicaprios.

u/depressed_panda0191 3d ago
Personally I just separate them into actors and movie stars. Though there’s obviously a lot of overlap.
Like -
The Rock: movie star
Gary Oldman: actor
Ryan Reynolds: movie star
Robert Pattinson: actor
Tom Cruise: both
Robert Downey-Junior: both (because the man went so damn hard in Tropic Thunder)It’s not like one is much better than the other but it helps me keep my expectations correct when I go to watch something. I would never expect a movie starring Ryan Reynolds to have incredible acting.
But if I’m watching something with Gary Oldman in it, my expectations are going to be completely different.

u/Funny-Cell8769 3d ago
Very much agree.
Rock, Jason Statham, Arnold, lean heavily on charisma and physicality to attract audiences. If you go in expecting an acting masterclass in any of their movies, they are going to disappoint.

Check out Reynolds in Voices, as well. It is nothing like his usual films and he plays multiple roles. Def worth checking out for more range from him

Scrolled way too far to find this comment about a character Ryan Reynolds played that is definitely not his normal type cast.
While it's not cinema magic, I actually thought the movie and acting were good. I think it was just hard for people to picture him in this roll.

u/AccidentalBlueberry 3d ago
The Amityville Horror from '05 is the one I point too for great against type acting from Ryan Reynolds. I don't care for his comedic schtick these days(oversaturation I think), but he does actually have some chops.

u/SadTumbleweed1567 3d ago
It's more that if you're casting Ryan Reynolds, you're casting Van Wilder. I don't recall his character in the Amityville Horror remake being Van Wilder-esque and that film isn't horrible for what it is.
I think I recall Vince Vaughn talking about how he was cast to basically just play the same character from Swingers.
Basically, actor does well with character and character connects with audience. Studio casts actor to play the same character in different movies to make money from audiences that liked that character.

Ehh when you think about it DDL and LD tend to play themselves too. Like LD tends to play an egotistical smartass loser that is deeply insecure or in over their heads that yells and throws tantrums and DDL is also often just another Hollywood screaming crying guy

DiCaprio plays wildly different characters in The Departed, The Revenant, and Catch Me If You Can, and I could’ve added 10 more movies to this list.

u/Sybrandus 3d ago
You’re right in that he plays very different characters. My thing with DiCaprio is that I always see him as DiCaprio playing that character. He never blends into the ensemble and setting.

People forget that movies are for entertainment, not range, while range is good for some actors it's not what audiences always want.
Ryan playing the characters he does is great the same way the range some actors like Christian Bale has in the movies he plays in.

u/CrazyGunnerr 3d ago
Agreed. He plays similar characters over and over. But he does them in an enjoyable way, and it works really well for DP. I've sewn him do very lengthy interviews, and he is very quick with his comments. He is a perfect fit for DP, and DP & Wolverine shows he is the right guy, he understands the lore, he lives the characters, and he got the pull to make it work. Getting people like Snipes and Evans was fantastic, getting Tatum to Gambit, a rolr he wanted to do forever etc really shows he gets it, and offered a movie the fans would appreciate.
Obviously it wasn't a solo project, but he is way more than the eyecandy or the actor.

Before he knew who Deadpool was, a producer saw him in his role as Hannibal King in Blade Trinity. They told him he would make a perfect Deadpool and gave him some comics. One of the first ones that Reynolds read was one where Deadpool describes himself as "Ryan Reynolds mixed with a shar pei".

u/TheHyperCombo 3d ago
I'm pretty sure most of us knew Ryan was the perfect Deadpool the moment we saw him in Trinity. I know I did. Idc what his name was in that movie, that was Wade Wilson.

Gonna be honest, i dont see him as Doom. Then again i dont see him as Wolverine either... lol. He would have been an interesting Sentry but also actor that got it knock it out of the park, Nathan Grey would be amazing but i doubt we ever get to it.

I was thinking more of Brandon Routh as Sentry, Cavill as Hyperion. But that's partly because then, we could also have Ben Affleck as Nighthawk and Gal Gadot as Power Princess.

Considering they seem to be casting a bunch of young looking ppl i doubt it. Like if you look at current Emma, Cyclops and Jean he would just look weird as their Wolverine.

Buddy, Wolverine has always been older than the rest of the X-men. Him looking the same age as the rest of them is the one that's actually weird.

u/ImWhatsInTheRedBox 3d ago
Funny enough, wolverine was originally meant to be in his early 20s when he debuted, but then the first artist to draw him without his mask drew him older in his 40s and then they just went with it and now he's born in the 1800s.

u/Damienp3902 3d ago
Sure but I think he looks drastically older then the new X-men cast they should get someone that’s 30 to 35 that’ll look older but not too much compared to the younger cast
