Ryan Reynolds will star in the upcoming blockbuster 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'.

The 31-year-old star has reportedly signed up to play legendary comic-book
villain Deadpool in the highly-anticipated movie alongside Australian actor
Hugh Jackman.
A source said: "Fans were excited by rumors the film would feature Deadpool
because he's a legendary villain for Marvel comics readers. So they'll be
delighted to know Ryan's going to play him.
"Deadpool is a mentally unstable mercenary, with special healing powers just
like Wolverine's. He is full of funny one-liners and wisecracks. It's just
the sort of thing Ryan is great at."
