T.J. MILLER AS WEASEL


T.J. Miller is back as Deadpool’s confidante, Weasel. Miller says, “Besides running the mercenary bar, Sister Mary Margaret’s School for Wayward Girls, he deals weapons. So that’s a big part of what’s mysterious about him. How does he have all these hook-ups? He doesn’t have any friends except Deadpool. He’s a confusing dude at times. Weasel and

Wade are not partners. They work together, but Weasel bets on him to die. The only reason they’re friends is there’s no one more selfish than the other one. “

A stand-up comedian as well as actor, Miller notes, “”Deadpool” is not just a comedy. It’s a superhero film and it’s also action. And so often in those types of films it is almost wholly my job to be funny and get a laugh right before you go to an action sequence or car chase. What’s cool in this is Ryan’s doing most of the comedy, so I’m just kind of adding to it, because we do want people laughing all the way through - unless they’re crying or gasping. We want them laughing!”

Miller recalls, “After the first one, I said ‘I don’t care what the plot is of the next one. Just give Weasel a gun.

That would be so fun, man.’ I never get to shoot guns in

movies, I’m always cracking wise. So Weasel gets a gun for the second film, but he does not shoot it. Because I forgot to say ‘Can Weasel have a gun and shoot it.’” Needless to say, Miller looks forward to there being a Deadpool 3.

“Rhett and Paul are such a team and so collaborative. They’re smart and very quick and most importantly, open to the best idea in the room, which is something I always push myself to, and Ryan does the same. Because I’m an improviser by trade, I’d show up every day with five, 15, 20 alt lines, and we’d talk on set, so all of Weasel’s dialogue ends up being a collaboration. Ryan always pitched me jokes, and I’d pitch him, and Rhett and Paul would pitch both of us. I think one of the reasons the first one was so good is it was absolutely collaborative.”

COLOSSUS


Andre Tricoteux returns with Colossus’ body performance. While the character’s voice and facial capture performance are done by Stefan Kapičić, Tricoteux was on set as Colossus during production. Tricoteux says, “Colossus comes from Russia and he’s one of the original X-Men. He’s educated, stoic, well-mannered, polite, and rarely loses his temper. He looks out for everybody else – the prototypical big brother. He turns into metal and obviously has great strength, speed and power. Deadpool and Colossus have always had a kind of big brother/little brother thing. Colossus

is Deadpool’s moral compass, he’s always trying to keep him on the straight and narrow. He tries to help train him to become an X-Man. And of course, Deadpool finds ways to screw everything up.”


JACK KESY AS BLACK TOM CASSIDY


Jack Kesy plays Black Tom, one of the inmates of the mutant prison, where all the mutants wear dampening collars to prevent them from using their special powers. His character sports dreadlocks and a huge Celtic cross tattooed on his back. He says, “I didn’t think of it, but I love the look, it’s wonderful.”

When Wade and Russell arrive at the Mutant Prison, Black Tom and his sidekick Sluggo, played by Robert Maillet, have it in for them. Tom menaces young Russell. Kesy says, “Black Tom sees vitality, youth, strength, power, his potential - and he wants all of it. He’s always scheming, trying to find a way out.”


SURPRISE!! MEET THE X-FORCE


To keep storylines and even characters under wraps, code names were created for every key character in the script, and the actual title as well. A code breaker was issued, and for everyone involved in making the film, it was important to keep it handy while reading the screenplay.

It was even challenging for one of the script’s writers: “We couldn’t read a script with code

names because it was so confusing,” says Wernick. “Ryan was Chaplin or Keaton, depending on whether he was Deadpool or Wade. It was impossible without a legend or a map to keep us straight and on track. Sometimes it was like working at the CIA – for the goal of keeping the movie fresh and not spoiling it for anybody.”

But if all the secrecy pays off, fans will be more than a little surprised to meet a slate of previously unannounced superheroes that Deadpool recruits to go up against an ultimate foe. As they’re about to embark on their maiden mission, they dub themselves X-Force.

Sood says, “That was something we really tried to keep under wraps as much as possible.

It’s always tricky when you’re out in the middle of

downtown Vancouver and there’s a lot of people watching! Hopefully, this will confound audience expectations.”
Terry Crews plays Bedlam. “I’ve been doing action comedy for years,” he says, “but this is my first superhero movie. A lot of people feel I should have been

in this thing a long time ago. But it took “Deadpool” to bring Terry Crews into the superhero fold and I love it.” He describes the team: “Wade decides he’s going to have his own version of the X-Men and he puts his own team together and they are a ragtag badass group.”

“Bedlam is an absolutely fabulous character,” says Crews.

“He can manipulate electrical fields and he can cause you pain and make you confused. It’s a very psychological weapon - he literally sends his brain power.”
Lewis Tan plays Shatterstar. He describes him as, “A bioengineered warrior from a different planet that was raised as a gladiator. He fights for money and performance. He’s got a badass haircut, and hollow bones. He uses swords and he can channel shockwaves through them. He was engineered to be the greatest warrior and he’s a natural born killer.”

Tan’s father, a stunt man and fight coordinator, is a friend of Leitch’s. Tan says, “I was raised on set around David and I trained with him off and on.”

Regarding the shroud of secrecy around the X-Force, Tan says, “I imagine this is what it would be like to be a spy or in the FBI. It was very secretive, I couldn’t even tell my family or friends.”
Bill Skarsgard, who most recently starred as the terrifying clown Pennywise in the blockbuster “It,” plays Zeitgeist. Skarsgard notes, “Zeitgeist can puke acidic vomit and incinerate people.” Zeitgeist is covered in ink. Skarsgard, who also worked with Leitch on “Atomic Blonde” says, “David liked the whole skater and graffiti aesthetic, and it’s a pretty good fit for a guy that pukes people to death. Zeitgeist has a bunch of tattoos that say “eat shit and die.””
Rob Delaney plays Peter. “He’s a regular dude who, for some reason, answers an ad that Deadpool puts in the paper. Everybody else who answers is a legitimate superhero with either mutant powers or some kind of other powers and then there’s Peter, who has no powers at all. He’s earnest and has no bullshit and I think Deadpool admires that because everybody else is like, ‘Hmm I’ve got the stuff to do the thing’, and Peter’s like, ‘Hey yeah, I’d love to help out.’ His heart’s in the right place. He’d like to do well. Surely that’s half the battle.”
