4) Russell Crowe
Deadpool has an undeniably great cast, but drafting in a big name actor for the sequel would be no bad thing. In that respect, Russell Crowe would be perfect, especially as he’s unlikely to be needed back as Jor-El in the DC Films Universe any time soon.
If Crowe was open to starring in the CGI heavy Man of Steel, a more practical action role like this would surely appeal to him, and getting to see the actor take on such a different type of character as the rough around the edges and battle scarred Cable has a ton of potential.
Bringing some much needed weight to the role, Crowe would be an unexpected co-star for Reynolds, but that’s exactly what makes this idea so exciting.
