DEADPOOL Movie Character Details and Sequel Plans
Thanks to Casting24/7 we have a break down of the characters who are set to appear in director Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds' long awaited Deadpool movie. Pre-production is currently underway, and Reynolds has even posted a photo teasing the Deadpool costume that he'll be sporting in the movie.
Below, you'll find the list of characters along with a brief description of each one. It is interesting to note that some of the roles require sequel options, so it looks like there's a good chance we could see multiple Deadpool movies if the first one succeeds, which is great!
- [RIDGE] Any ethnicity, early 30s to early 50s. Big, muscular, dangerous, violent, vain, insecure and more than a bit of a dick…. but with a sense of humor. He is not a psychopath, he’s practical but morally neutral—he doesn’t enjoy torturing people, he just doesn’t care. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS.
- [LINDSAY] Any ethnicity, 20s, attractive and worldly. Smart, tough, beautiful but a little bit broken. Nothing has ever been easy for her and she’s developed a thick skin and cynical outlook. But she’s not a victim—she may not have a great life but she’s holding it together and does what she needs to get by. She’s got a great sense of humor but it leans heavily towards irony and sarcasm. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS.
- [SIMON] Any ethnicity, late 20s to early 40s. Quirky, great sense of humor. Smart, funny, but more than a little bit slippery. Fast talker, always looking to make a buck. He looks out for himself first and foremost, but reveals loyalty at the end of the day. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS
- [SHIRLIE] African American, late 60s to early 80s. Worldly, great sense of comedic timing, sarcastic, dry, funny. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS.
- [KATHY] Any ethnicity, early to mid teens. World weary, great sense of comedic timing, sarcastic, droll sense of humor. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS.
- [KEREN] Any ethnicity, early 20s to late 30s. Serious, big, tough. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS
- [ALBERT] Any ethnicity, early 30s to early 50s. Big, muscular, dangerous. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS
Reynolds will be joined by T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein, and Gina Carano. The film will also reportedly feature the X-Men mutant Colossus. It’s unclear, though, if Daniel Cudmore will reprise the role.
The script for the film comes from Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. It is scheduled to be released on February 12th, 2016.
