    “Deadpool”: Live Action Movie Casts MMA Fighter

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments

    Fox solo film for Deadpool has been everywhere in the news this week, and it looks like we have the latest bit of information about it.  This is still a building story, but so far, it sure seems to be confirmed.

    Gina-Carano-02

    Gina Carano who is a former MMA fighter has reportedly joined the cast of the Ryan Reynolds-starring film.  She was actually a fan favorite to play a live action Wonder Woman for a long time. The Hollywood Reporter says it’s a done deal, and that we can expect to see Carano as “Angel Dust”.  (This character is actually from the X-Men comics, and was a member of the Morlocks.)

    HR also says T.J. Miller will be appearing in the film as a yet unnamed character who will “bring comedic relief to the team”.  They also state the possibility of X-Men alum Colossus joining the cast of characters.

    We can supposedly expect to see Deadpool in theaters around February 12, 2016.
