T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein In Talks to Join DEADPOOL Cast

Ryan Reynolds is set to star in a solo Deadpool movie after the disappointing X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but most fans agree that it wasn't his fault that movie was awful. Following years of campaigning for a second chance, he's finally getting one, because Fox has slated a Deadpool spin-off to arrive in theaters on February 12th, 2016. So with Reynolds starring as The Merc with a Mouth, who will share the screen with him?

The Wrap reports that Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller and Game of Thrones alum Ed Skrein are in talks for roles in the feature, which will be directed by VFX whiz Tim Miller. Aside from his work on the hilarious HBO comedy Silicon Valley, you may recognize T.J. Miller from a number of different films: Cloverfield, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and his voice work in Big Hero 6 and the How To Train Your Dragon franchise. He's in talks to play - shocker - an additional comedic character who will compliment Deadpool's sense of humor.

Skrein played Daario Naharis on Game of Thrones before bailing on the show to take the lead role in the Transporter film franchise. The Wrap floats the possibility that he could be playing the film's villain, and Skrein has certainly shown that he has the physicality to play a comic book bad guy, but details about his potential role remain secret at the moment.

OK, all of you diehard Deadpool fans out there: which character from the comics do you think Miller could be playing, and do you think Skrein would make a good villain if that's the way this casting plays out?
