After people talk about Ryan, i belive so many guys belive Ryan did all the Deadpool stunts, i mean Ryan could kick my ass i know, but this guy made Yuri Boyka, he is the guy that did all Ryan Stunts.
I mean people underrated him and he must be a factor to the Deadpool movie be a good movie.
 

Very few people think Ryan Reynolds did the stunts. It was very publicized that Scott Adkins was Weapons XI. Some people even tried to say that they were separate characters.
 
Scott Adkins is an amazing stunt man. Have you seen Undisputed 2 and 3? AMAZING.
 
Hell, if Reynolds can't do it just have Adkins do it. He's a good actor. And it might confuse people into thinking Reynolds is still in it.

Reynolds did all the sword work. He trained for ages to do that. Adkins did all that crazy flipping around as Weapon XI.
 
But no, he shouldn't play Deadpool. He isn't a very good actor. He has no comic timing. Just because a mask is worn doesn't mean you don't need a good actor. In fact you need someone who is a very good actor to pull off a role where a mask is worn 99% of the time. You need someone who can show their emotions and all that without ever seeing their face for example.

 It was always clear to me that Adkin did the stunts.

Scott Adkins is awesome, love Undisputed 2 & 3, The Tournament is also a pretty memorable appearance of him (albeit a short one)
actually he's a pretty good actor, too but his martial art skills is way better

" @the ace of knaves: Go rent Undisputed 2 and 3. You'll see he's a good actor. "

I've seen Undisputed 2. Whilst Adkins was the best thing about it... that isn't really saying much. They are straight to DVD movies for a reason...
 
And like i said, the guy has never displayed any ability for comedy. Reynolds has this natural charisma and comic timing that you cannot teach. And Reynolds is an underrated dramatic actor. He was amazing in The Nines. Also showed his acting chops in Fireflies in the Garden and Chaos Theory.

"They are straight to DVD movies for a reason..."

Scooby Doo sucks. Well, i liked the original Hanna Barbera toons. But the new ones and the live action films are a travesty.
 
Anyway... Deadpool is a difficult character to pull of. He's a difficult character to write properly... and he's a difficult character to portray in live action properly. You need someone who "gets" the character, like Reynolds. There needs to be a balance of darkly comic humour, impending violence that can rear it's head at any time, even in the midst of a joke... and a totally tragic and broken up schlub of a man who doesn't know whether to be manically depressed or hyperactively insane.

" @the ace of knaves: Theya re straight to DVD because people aren't interested in Martial Arts movies in theatres.  He was also the star in another movie (I can't recall the title) where he was a ninja. And he showed some comedic timing there. He's a competent actor and I hope they cast him as Iron Fist. THAT WOULD ROCK! "

Reynolds' performance in The Nines alone elevates him beyond Scott Adkins a million fold.
 
Maybe the guy hasn't had the chance to do any dramatic, meaty roles yet. But he doesn't seem to be pursuing them either.

" @the ace of knaves:  The thing about Ray Park is he can't shake his thick THICK accent.How many speaking roles does he get? Like none. For that very reason.  Scott Adkins doesn't have that problem. And can even do foreign accents. YOu don't give him enough credit. He's not the best actor out there. But neither is Reynolds. "
Sure, Park's not the best actor out there, but his action stuff is awesome, and so is Adkins (although Boyka was great)

Also, I'm pretty much sold on Scott Adkins he does seem pretty badass. If anything he should at least do the stunts again. I just think that Reynolds isn't the only actor for this movie and we shouldn't get all bent outta shape cause he doesn't want to do the movie. His loss. There are plenty of off-beat comedy actors out there.
Off note: If your'e looking for a really brutal kung fu movie with some of the best fight scenes i've seen, I HIGHLY suggest The Protector with Tony Jaa.
