Just a few days after finding out that MMA fighter turned actress Gina Carano had been cast as mutant Angel Dust in the upcoming Deadpool film, we find out that the female lead has been cast as well! Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Homeland, Gotham, V) has been cast as the yet unnamed and potential romantic interest for Ryan Reynolds' title character.
Paul Wernick
Deadpool Movie Confirmed!
We all saw the test footage of the potential Deadpool film with Ryan Reynolds providing his voice and motion capture. It left us all wondering when we'd get to see the real thing in a full feature capacity. Today we got news from Twentieth Century Fox that 'Deadpool' is coming to theaters on February 12, 2016. What's significant about the date? It means production will begin soon, and that it will release before 'X-Men: Apocalypse.' It's unconfirmed but expected that Reynolds will reprise the role and that writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland) will still get to see that script they wrote get some kind of treatment. Director Tim Miller is said to be directing the film as well.
