Casting24/7 has the honor of hosting a casting call for Tim Miller’s Deadpool movie, which is currently titled Wham!, with descriptions of seven characters.
All of the characters have been given code names, but from the descriptions you can decipher who the characters are. Here are the descriptions:
[RIDGE] Any ethnicity, early 30s to early 50s. Big, muscular, dangerous, violent, vain, insecure and more than a bit of a dick…. but with a sense of humor. He is not a psychopath, he’s practical, but morally neutral—he doesn’t enjoy torturing people, he just doesn’t care. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS.
[LINDSAY] Any ethnicity, 20s, attractive and worldly. Smart, tough, beautiful, but a little bit broken. Nothing has ever been easy for her and she’s developed a thick skin and cynical outlook. But she’s not a victim—she may not have a great life, but she’s holding it together and does what she needs to get by. She’s got a great sense of humor, but it leans heavily towards irony and sarcasm. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS.
[SIMON] Any ethnicity, late 20s to early 40s. Quirky, great sense of humor. Smart, funny, but more than a little bit slippery. Fast talker, always looking to make a buck. He looks out for himself first and foremost, but reveals loyalty at the end of the day. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS
[SHIRLIE] African American, late 60s to early 80s. Worldly, great sense of comedic timing, sarcastic, dry, funny. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS.
[KATHY] Any ethnicity, early to mid teens. World weary, great sense of comedic timing, sarcastic, droll sense of humor. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS.
[KEREN] Any ethnicity, early 20s to late 30s. Serious, big, tough. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS
[ALBERT] Any ethnicity, early 30s to early 50s. Big, muscular, dangerous. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS
Based of the descriptions, Karen might be Angel Dust, which will be played by Gina Carano (Haywire). There has been rumors that T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley) and Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones) were both up for roles in the film playing Simon and Ridge respectively.
What we do know though is Ryan Reynolds will be playing the titular character Deadpool. Reynolds has been trying to get this project off the ground for years and his persistence has paid off. The film will hit theaters in 2016.
