More DEADPOOL Set Images Feature Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano & Ed Skrein

Earlier today we got our first glimpse of Ryan Reynolds shooting a scene behind a strip club in Vancouver, and now we have set snaps of some of his Deadpool cast-mates too. Most of these pics seem to have captured the actors between takes, but there are a couple that caught them just as they were preparing to shoot, and so presumably give us a look at the clobber they’ll be sporting in the movie.

Baccarin’s character Vanessa Carlysle/Copycat started out as a prostitute in the comics, and based on what she’s wearing above that might also be her movie origin… or, y’know, she might just enjoy wearing sexy outfits! We know Ed Skrein will play a villain, but which one? In the script Wilson’s primary adversary was Ajax, but that could easily have been altered. Whoever he is it looks like he’ll be garbed in some pretty basic biker gear; at least for these scenes.

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Deadpool also stars Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, and Ed Skrein and will hit theaters on February 12, 2016 with a nice, juicy R rating.

Gina Carano Joins Ryan Reynolds in Fox’s ‘Deadpool’

Gina Carano has closed a deal to join Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool, Fox’s action movie based on the wisecracking mercenary Marvel character.

Tim Miller is directing the action adventure project which is eyeing a March start in Vancouver. Lauren Shuler Donner is producing.

Reynolds is an assassin who is dying of cancer who undergoes a procedure that is supposed to cure him but ends up twisted and scarred while also imbued with super-powers.

T.J. Miller is set to bring comedic relief to the movie in an undisclosed role. And, fanboy alert: the Russian X-Men character known as Colossus is slated to appear in the movie.

Carano will play a character known as Angel Dust. It is unclear how she fits into the proceedings but in the Marvel comics, the character was part of an underground mutant group known as the Morlocks.

Before she tackles Deadpool, however, Carano will star opposite Bruce Willis in Extraction, an action movie from Emmett-Furla and Aperture Entertainment.

Steven C. Miller is directing the story of a CIA operative and his son who is following in his footsteps, with the movie beginning to lense next week.

The back-to-back shoots continue Carano’s non-stop movie momentum. She recently wrapped production on Bus 657 opposite Robert DeNiro, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kate Bosworth as well as Kickboxer, the reboot of the early 1990s action franchise that also stars Guardians of the Galaxy’s Dave Bautista.
