Ryan Reynolds has shared his pick for an old-school actor to play Deadpool.
In a recent interview, Ryan mentioned that if he could choose a classic Hollywood star to take on the role of Deadpool, it would be Buster Keaton. He believes Keaton’s physical comedy and expressive face would make him perfect for the part. “He had this incredible ability to convey so much without saying a word,” Ryan said, highlighting Keaton’s unique talent.
I think it’s interesting how people often imagine their favorite characters played by actors from different eras.
Ryan also joked about how fun it would be to see Keaton’s reaction to Deadpool’s modern-day antics and humor. It’s fascinating to think about blending the silent film era with today’s superhero genre. Imagine Buster Keaton in Deadpool’s suit, pulling off those wild stunts and breaking the fourth wall with just a look!
