Might be a little premature, but since casting is going on and such I figured I'd throw this out here. This is scheduled as PG-13, as much as I would like an R rating I think they will do fine. So far we have: Reynolds - Deadpool Gina Carano - Angel Dust T.J. Miller - probably as Weasel Morena Baccarin - as the love interest, possibly Mercedes Wilson? Also it seems that Colossus is being recast and will be playing the straight man to Deadpool. Of course if you haven't seen it here is the vid that got the movie greenlit.

Colossus? Well, his nigh-invulnerability will be an asset to any physical jokes.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

It needs to be R.
And they need to have Posehn onboard.

Other than lots of blood, what would R give to Deadpool?
The comic isn't R rated at all, and PG-13 can still get away with a lot. Oh also if you want a sequel you probably aren't going to get it with an R rating.

I hope I'm wrong, but my first thought is that I think they cast the wrong guy from Silicon Valley to play Weasel. Besides that, I like the thought of Colossus being in there and I'm still excited for a Deadpool movie.

There is a lot of violence that's PG-13 in comics, but R in movies because of what can and cannot be effectively elided. In Deadpool that particular game is key to punchlines. A solid director should be able to translate the ideas without necessarily cribbing the scenery, but there is a shortage of solid directors.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Given that one of Deadpool's defining attributes is his awareness of his status as a character in a comic book (and tendency to not just break the fourth wall, but actually climb through it into his own meta-state existence), it wouldn't surprise me if they solve this by him addressing the audience with smart-ass comments about the MPAA and Hollywood's bizarre attitudes about violence and gore, the first time there should be buckets of blood spraying around, but isn't.

I'm still hoping the new Deadpool mentions how horrible his character was in X-Men Origins.

This must mean they are adding CGI movements to the eyes. RIGHT?

Compare those eyes to the ones in the fireplace photo. Deadpool's comic book eyes would functionally blind the actor, making the blocking of scenes with him (much less stunts) a real trial. This way he (and his stunt doubles) have some small degree of vision and the character can emote using his eyes to a degree that real full-face masks don't allow. It's smart and subtle and I'm quite pleased.

They don't need the markers at the tops to fill in the eye holes, though. So there's something else going on as well.

The CGI eyeholes might end up being animated to change in size to add cartoony emotive effects, like pxib was saying. Marking out that black area gives the animators that entire area to work with and then makes it easy to composite that onto the shot.

Black is also a color you notice subtle differences between a lot more than anything but green, too. As such you'd want to fill the entire area consistently vs. the nightmare of color matching around the eyes every frame due to light variances.

Deadpools expressions can vary wildly... not just "frowning", etc.

Yeah, Deadpool's mask pretty much behaves like it's fused to his face in the comics: the black areas scrunch down and up with his eyebrow positions and you can often make out his mouth's expression as well. So they're definitely gonna hafta CGI the hell out of his face to make that work, since no fabric in the history of ever works that way.

I would have thought after the proof of concept that it was a given he would be CGI'd. The costume picture reveal doesn't look real.
