Miller (Silicon Valley, Big Hero 6) as Weasel, Gina Carano (Haywire, Fast & Furious 6) as Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin (Firefly, V, Gotham) as Copycat and Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones, Transporter: Refueled) as Ajax. The film will also feature the mutant Colossus, once played by Daniel Cudmore, will now be played by Andre Tricoteux.
Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland) will provide the film’s script, while Tim Miller (OS for Thor: The Dark World & The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) will serve as director. Deadpool is scheduled for a release on February 12, 2016.
