Just a few hours back, the official page of Deadpool updates announced the much-awaited moment of this year. The production of the highly anticipated film starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman has kick-started. After untiring speculations, the creators finally revealed that the movie will be shot in London and Vancouver. However, it appears that fans are not as excited about seeing the Canadian superstar as they were before. They have found a new candidate to play this iconic character that our beloved actor has embodied for years.

How time flies and how things change. It’s now been more than seven years since Deadpool first hit theatres. Bringing Ryan Reynolds as the titular character, the character captured the attention of viewers with his prankish nature. However, the post shared by a Marvel fan on Twitter recently seems to steal that limelight from the Free Guy star. They posted a picture of Anthony Carrigan who rose to stardom with the role of mobster NoHo Hank in the HBO series Barry.

This post has divided the fandom of the 46-year-old and the Deadpool franchise as they debate between these two. Many are saying that the Gotham star is a spectacular actor and can be a great fit for the role.

Some fans want to stick with their beloved actor and see him more fit for the role of a villain in the franchise.

It is still undeniable that Reynolds is the most perfectly cast actor in Deadpool Universe. Let us see how he made the most out of this role in the past years.

Ryan Reynolds was born to play Deadpool 

From having a great human spirit to his wit combined with well-cherished sarcasm, Ryan Reynolds had the upper hand in playing this character. We all know that the Vancover-born star always had a Wade Wilson-like demeanor in real life. Not to mention, the actor is the possessor of a voice that matches perfectly with the disfigured mercenary.

Last but not least, the comic book character is notorious for breaking continuity and the conventional pattern of storytelling. Similarly, Reynolds is also known for his eccentric approach to everything, whether in advertisements or promotional interviews. Thus, one can say that this Hollywood heartthrob is the handsome version of this character in real life.
