I have been reading a lot more Deadpool comics in recent months and even playing the game that released last year and it has gotten me thinking about the possible film which a lot of us are looking forward to. Don't get me wrong Reynolds done a good job in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" which in itself wasn't a great film itself, however we didn't really get to see Wade enough before he became Weapon-X which then Scott Adkins took over as the body.
Since "Wolverine" was released back in 2009 there has been talk of the solo film, but every other month it feels like there is another step that is tripping up the process. If I am 100% honest I have a feeling the studio is worried about the fact his films are not the financial success' that superhero films are look at "R.I.P.D" cost $130 million to make and brought back less than $80, Green Lantern only made $19 million and The Change Up $20 million, while they are profits look at the other Marvel releases since 2009, "First Class" made $200 million, "The Amazing Spider-Man" $500 million, each of the 3 Iron Man films made $400 million, hell even "Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance" made $75 million, so you get where I am coming from.
Sort of went off on a little rant up there didn't I ha, sorry about that if you bared through that. Anyway back to my point I think the studio is worried about back him with a big budget in case they don't make a nice profit. Ultimately that is what it boils down to, they tell us it's for the fans and the dedicated readers which is partially true, however it is about the money. So replacing Reynolds may be the way go if we want to get the Merc on the big screen.
Jason Statham - can he lose his accent? I for one can not think of a time in which he hasn't had his distinctive accent, he is a money maker his films have made over $1 billion in the box office. I for one am a huge fan of Statham, have been since I first seen him in "The Transporter". He is widely regarded as an antihero, which Deadpool really is.
Scott Adkins as the body & Charlie Day as the voice - main problem is that Scott isn't a great actor, maybe use him for the body and fight scenes like they did in Origins. I realise that sounds mean just using his body, but we don't really see that much of Deadpools face he could keep the mask on the whole time resulting in Charlie Day doing the voice. My favourite choice is easily this, I think these two would bring a perfect incarnation of the Merc with a Mouth to the big screen.
James Roday - Shawn from "Psych" is pretty much Deadpool minus the
healing factor and weaponry skill, he's full of quips and pop culture
references. Anybody who is at all familiar with "Psych" will see where I am coming from, the characters have some overlying traits, he does lack the physical aspect and the fighting touch but that could be easily taught. I think he could easily pull off the idiot with a plan style Deadpool lives by, constantly lost in the world but still finds a solution.
These would be my top choices, other outsiders that could be a possibility are;
Seann William Scott -
Eric Christian Olsen - Deeks style from NCIS LA.
Jonny Knoxville - after watching "Jackass" over the years I have the feeling that Knoxville already has health regeneration ha.

Ben Affleck IS BATMAN!!!!
This is my first post, might not do many, I might do a lot. I'll start by admitting I'm not the best at English, but I'll write as well as I can so bare with me please.
This to me, looks like batman and Bruce Wayne. He has an unbelievable fighting talent, he's one of the best martial artists I've seen for a long time. He could make Batman look as badass as he could look, the character supposedly knows 120+ martial arts, I think he could pull the scenes off well. He was my first and last choice for him, until the rumours of a 40+ year old batman, then it changed. So for now, I'm happy with Affleck.
Anyway, I thought a good place to start would be here, I love movies, especially comic book movies, I always have, I love the best of them and the worst of them. This has been a controversial story so far, I'm not into the blogging community so I haven't seen the blog talk, but from general Internet pages and YouTube replys to the announcement, people don't seem happy.
I personally believe its a brilliant choice, we all know Affleck has made films like Gili, Pearl Harbour, but everyone forgets to mention how he was in Armageddon, Changing Lanes and The Sum Of All Fears. In the last few years he's turned his career around, Argo, The Town and The Company Men, from what I've seen personally or heard of others, he's been nothing but brilliant since he had his bad stint.
Now this is a risky statement, I understand that, but Daredevil, for me, was a good movie (the directors cut version). Mark Steven Johnson the director and screenplay writer for the film from my knowledge hasn't made many good movies. I believe Affleck gave that movie the only good aspect of it, and because of the character he played is the main reason he, to me, is perfect for Batman. The character of Matt Murdoch in that movie came across as a man, who's been through a lot, who knows the world can be an evil place, yet by some miracle, he has an ability he realises he can use to his advantage to made the city he lives in a better place, even if it's just for 1 person at a time at 1 night at a time. So he uses what he has to do that, all this whilst containing an everyday life, which also involves helping people, and I think that portrays well to batman, plus you can't deny he looks like a damn good Bruce Wayne.
Finally, I'll admit, Scott Adkins was my first choice for Batman.

Trailer "The Expendables 2"
This film looks incredible, nothing better than a testosterone fuelled action fest. How can you go wrong with a film that has John Rambo, John McClane, The Terminator, Wong Fei Hung, Walker Texas Ranger and Ivan Drago ha ha.

"Expendables 2" will be R-Rated!
This is pretty amazing news in my opinion, there was a pretty big uproar when it was announced that film was set to be PG-13.
"After drawing the ire of the Internet for confirming that The Expendables 2 would be PG-13 (apparently in accordance with star Chuck Norris‘ wishes), Sylvester Stallone has backtracked to say that the star-studded action sequel will be getting an R rating after all…
…Since Norris’ objection to the R rating had more to do with cursing than violence, it’s possible that Expendables 2 will try to keep the language clean even while dialling up the action. Or maybe the outcry was such that Stallone’s decided to drop the PG-13 plan altogether. Either way, if you’ve been hoping for a rougher, tougher Expendables 2, it seems your wishes have been granted…"

"The Expendables 2" gallery
Promo pictures for "The Expendables 2" have made their way online, they are not for the feint hearted. These pictures don't just show off the cast we know from "The Expendables", they show us Scott Adkins, Yu Nan, Jean-Claude Van Damme. I can only guess that the JCVD, Adkins and Lundgren pictures are all pre-photoshop, they will look a lot more badass when edited.
