Ajax Confirmed as Villain for DEADPOOL
Earlier this year, we learned that Game of Thrones actor Ed Skrein joined the cast of Tim Miller's Deadpool movie. It was rumored, at the time, that he would be playing a villain in the story, and now he has confirmed he will be taking on the role of Ajax.

— Ed Skrein (@edskrein) April 7, 2015Ajax is a remorseless killer that was part of the Weapon X program, and was also experimented on by the barbarous Dr. Killebrew, just like Wade Wilson. He's a formidable villain for Deadpool to take on as he has enhanced strength, speed, and agility. His nerves were also removed, so he has much better pain endurance.
Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Gina Carano, and Brianna Hildebrand. It will be released in theaters on February 12th, 2016.
