Deadpoolcreator Rob Liefeld ’s excited tweet to Russell Crowe about auditioning for Cable sire him in some red-hot urine . Deadpoolhad a famously tangled road to the big screen . Before Ryan Reynolds was offered the Wade Wilson / Deadpool part inX - Men Origins : Wolverine , the actor had unsuccessfully tried to huckster a solo movie for the character . Reynolds tookOriginsdespite some qualm over how the movie would plow the fictional character , in hopes it would lead to a spinoff down the line .

It appeared the motion picture would in all probability never happen until test footage Reynolds and theater director Tim Miller dissipate to deliver the studio apartment leaked in 2014 . The TV became an instant viral sensation , and the flick was quickly greenlit .

Russell Crowe was another fan deary and Liefeldfamously nip the actorabout the prospect in February 2017 . Now in a unexampled conversation withCollider , Liefeld accommodate that same tweet landed him in a petty bit of difficulty with both the doer and studio .
Then one night before I go to bed , I did n’t make out Russell Crowe was on Twitter , and I doltishly pinch to Russell Crowe – not ever thinking he ’d do me – and I go ‘ Hey Russell , you should show for Cable ! ’ That did n’t become out very well , I got squall at a lot , because I woke up – because he ’s in Australia – to Russell Crowe saying ‘ Read for it ? ! ’ And my handler allege ‘ Yeah , Russell Crowe does n’t learn for piece Rob , you kind of insult him . I ’m like ‘ I ’m sorry ! They just have n’t picked Cable yet so I ’m just couch it out there . ’ And then my phone ring , so some Fox hoi polloi may or may not have squall at me for an minute .
Actors of Crowe ’s statue rarely – if ever – have to read for part , so while Liefeld ’s warmth is admirable , his tweet was definitely something of a false PA . In the end , Cable go toJosh Brolin , but despite the actor receiving good reviews forDeadpool 2 , he ’s recently let in he was n’t glad with his own carrying into action and vowedto do better in the forthcomingX - Forcemovie .
While Russell Crowe did n’t terminate up being part ofDeadpool 2 , another A - lean actor who was to a great extent rumored for the part wound up make abrief cameo as X - Force member Vanisher . While theDeadpoolmovies have grossed over $ 1 billion worldwide , Reynolds himself hascast dubiousness on making aDeadpool 3 , and his efforts are currently focused on theX - Forcemovie , which Drew Goddard ( Bad Times At The El Royale ) will compose and unmediated .
