Ryan Reynolds who will be portraying the titular Merc With A Mouth, took to Twitter to announce the films wrap in what many feel may have been a casting where he fits it just as well as fans feel Hugh Jackman fits his role as Wolverine in the Marvel universe. Here’s what he had to say along with an image;

Ryan Reynolds is not the only big actor to sign onto the movie, Gina Carano is set to play Angel Dust, Morena Baccarin as Copycat and Ed Skrein as Ajax. Colossus is also scheduled to make an appearance, but no word on the actor playing the role just yet. Reynolds has also previously expressed interest in Hugh Jackman appearing as Wolverine as a cameo, but no word if that is/has actually happened.
