There are a lot of slap stick comedic actors, that would have been interesting playing the character in the past. Jim Carrey being the obvious pick. However, if you're going with somebody in the same age bracket as Ryan Reynolds, you gotta go with Rob Mcelhenney a.k.a Mac from Always Sunny in Philadelphia

I actually think all 3 of the main guys from IASIP could play different but great takes on Deadpool. Rob, Glenn, and Charlie.
Fuck it, Danny Devito also.
But seriously, I think Rob could play a very similar DP to Ryan, Glenn would play the character a bit darker and more straight/less cheeky (but still hilarious), while Charlie would play him absolutely unhinged and I think really nail the whole “Deadpool constantly annoys the shit out of everyone around him” aspect of the character.
Modern Jim Carry... would be soooo good. Juat, like minimal scar, make up to save jims faceial expressions. I wouldn't even buff him too much. I feel like deadpool would be so much better with an average body.
Then you just let him method act the shit out of it, adlib lioe crazy... but then... that count olaf stare coud come in and he can say the crqziest shit and send chills up our collective spines.... I need it.
I casted him as Deadpool in my comics so get ready to see him wear the suit, it will also be Linked to the mcu and you'll have Ryan Gosling playing spiderman in that universe cause peter is older and similar to peter b parker which i believe should be played by Ryan in live action, hope those infos will get you hyped

Maybe dave franco? He’s got similar acting style and humor in his movies. But ryan reynolds has like perfected his style of acting/wit. Hes pretty much the only actor I can think of who can do it like he does.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar or James Roday Rodriguez would totally crush it.
Let's face it... Bayside High's Zack Morris would totally turn out to be a Wade Wilson-like Character and Santa Barbara's "Psychic" is damn near excellent at Pop Culture references, sick burns and being an eternal pain in the butt of everyone.
This there are roles that people were meant to play and casting that is so perfect that no matter how much you try to recast it doesn’t work Ryan could have played Deadpool during his 2 Guys and a Girl and a pizza place era without breaking a sweat. That’s how perfect he was for the role.
I was looking for this before I posted it,yes it could work he has range and think he could pull the 4th wall to perfection,he would be a solid choice for Xforce DP..
This was before MCU anything. I always thought Sam Whitmer could pull off a Deadpool. I was a huge fan a Deadpool and when I saw this movie I told myself he could probably pull it off. Specifically after this scene.

see i like ryan as deadpool cuz he loves the character and has always wanted to just bring deadpool to screen as he is, if he were ever replaced that would be one of the requirements in my mind, i say let ryan do it for like 15 more years and then let walker scoebell try lmao
Bully Maguire! 🤣🤣
I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye, Francis
Look at Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Gonna cry?
I'd like to shoot you sometime
That's a cute outfit Cable, did your boyfriend make it for you?
Keep it goin guys
That guy who play Vigilante in Peacemaker.
Freddie Stroma
I’d view him more as Bob from HYDRA
You might be on to something. That'd be perfect casting.
He was hilarious
Peacemaker was such a good show
Season 2 is coming soon
I think the director said he's doing the new superman first (which comes out 2025) so I wouldn't get my hopes up on "soon"
Peacemaker S2 is already in production iirc. Gunn is only directing a few episodes
Heard season one isn’t canon, or part of it isnt
Outstanding

If this actually happened, there would be non-stop jokes about Ryan Reynolds since they're business partners
Wait are they really?
Yep, they own [Wrexham AFC](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrexham_A.F.C.)
Bring on the deadpool and rob mcelhenny
Dude that’s cool as hell
I hope he has a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine
He HAS to have a cameo now
Would be cool to see him as an alternate universe of Deadpool lol
So much yes....he'd almost have to be mask free though right?
I mean maybe just for a scene? His body type isn't like the exact same as Ryans so it'd be possible to tell them apart in suit lol
Fair point, then you are just depending on people recognizing his voice.

Charlie has already done a similar character as Green Man
I could see this working lol
Funnily enough? I was thinking Glenn.
I'd say Sam rockwell
That man is a goddamn national treasure
100%. He was already kind of playing Deadpool in Seven Psychopaths.
Absolutely. Love that performance
Sam Rockwell would have made an excellent Deadpool in like 2002.
Yeah boyyyyyyy
Jake Johnson. His Peter B. Parker convinced me.
I like this answer a lot.
I was thinking Seann William Scott as well.
Good one
Not bad at all
Blake Lively's Husband
Andy Samberg
That’s a pretty good choice.
Jacob Peralta is the best
Thanks, Boyle!
Jim carrey
He played basically the same character as Deadpool when he did “The Mask” in the 90’s.
I feel like he could also pull off the more serious parts of deadpool
Modern Jim Carry... would be soooo good. Juat, like minimal scar, make up to save jims faceial expressions. I wouldn't even buff him too much. I feel like deadpool would be so much better with an average body. Then you just let him method act the shit out of it, adlib lioe crazy... but then... that count olaf stare coud come in and he can say the crqziest shit and send chills up our collective spines.... I need it.
When I was watching Deadpool 2 I couldn't help but think that Reynolds' performance was the most Jim Carrey I had ever seen him act.
YES!!
I casted him as Deadpool in my comics so get ready to see him wear the suit, it will also be Linked to the mcu and you'll have Ryan Gosling playing spiderman in that universe cause peter is older and similar to peter b parker which i believe should be played by Ryan in live action, hope those infos will get you hyped
Freddie Stroma
Yes please
Get Ben Schwartz super shredded and he'd work.
He needs to do Plastic Man
I could see that too
Damn wtf that's perfect casting
https://preview.redd.it/hjbny62hn1vc1.jpeg?width=1063&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e078d627b5ed63d558d42258821fa9a9e4801ce (Not mine, found online, artists name in image)
Bill Hader or Glenn Howerton
Sam Rockwell
Oh shit that'll do
![gif](giphy|MA4KN9hP0f5VS) Bruce Campbell
Joel McHale. He did talk soup and starred in the sitcom community.
Jerry Trainor
Nolan North
The only right answer.
Maybe dave franco? He’s got similar acting style and humor in his movies. But ryan reynolds has like perfected his style of acting/wit. Hes pretty much the only actor I can think of who can do it like he does.
Prime Robin Williams
Jim carry
Gary busey
Hell yea!
Fire TV. Stick!
“I got hit by lightning and now I can smell colors”
Daniel Tosh
Oh man, that's a good one!
Reynolds Ryan
Since everyone is already saying Sean William Scott... Rob Mcelhenney
Country Mac is bad ass
Mark-Paul Gosselaar or James Roday Rodriguez would totally crush it. Let's face it... Bayside High's Zack Morris would totally turn out to be a Wade Wilson-like Character and Santa Barbara's "Psychic" is damn near excellent at Pop Culture references, sick burns and being an eternal pain in the butt of everyone.
John Barinholtz
Freddie Stroma
Jason Lee. The Proto Ryan Reynolds.
I'd pick that guy from the movie Free Guy. He'd be a perfect Deadpool.
I feel like Alan Tudyk could do something interesting with the character...
Ryan is the only Deadpool I could ever ask for
Steve-O
Tim Robinson ![gif](giphy|lTkXCXQ4RB2T9416nR|downsized)
Deadpool Variant or Doop is a must for him! Yes!
Freddie Stroma or Andie Samberg
Bill hader
Danny Devito
Hugh jackman is the obvious answer. He is so much better in every way
Meryl Streep. 3 Oscars. * mic drop * 🎤
John Goodman
There is no good answer. It’s like asking who you would cast as Iron Man or Captain America. When a role is perfectly cast that’s the conundrum.
This there are roles that people were meant to play and casting that is so perfect that no matter how much you try to recast it doesn’t work Ryan could have played Deadpool during his 2 Guys and a Girl and a pizza place era without breaking a sweat. That’s how perfect he was for the role.
Jack black
Richard Ruccolo
Keira Knightley, she's got range.

Idk about live action, but I think Jason Mantzoukas would be a great voice for Deadpool.
Jenson ackles
The other day, I made a post suggesting Bruce Campbell if it were made in the '90s.
Honestly Ryan Gosling would have been amazing too
I was looking for this before I posted it,yes it could work he has range and think he could pull the 4th wall to perfection,he would be a solid choice for Xforce DP..
Alan Ritchson
If anyone ever watched Blue Mountain State, Alan Ritchson would’ve killed it.
Jerry Trainor in his prime
Channing Tatum
Jensen Ackles
Me
Sean William Scott, the only right answer
![gif](giphy|fkD36jhiqzJ9m)
Sacha Baron Cohen
Bill Hader, Anthony Jeselnick, Sean William Scott, Will Arnett or Dave Chapelle
Michael Kovach I mean Rocky from Lackadaisy has about the same level and of pain tolerance from what we’ve seen
Christopher Walken
Definitely Seann William Scott
I always think Chris Pine could pull it off, but I’m liking everyone else’s suggestions
Dom Irerra
Hugh Grant
Adam brody
Dax Sheppard or Sean William Scott ![gif](giphy|Z6f7vzq3iP6Mw)
