Jake Tapper Doesn't Think Ryan Reynolds Should Have Been Allowed to Play Deadpool

Jake Tapper Doesn't Think Ryan Reynolds Should Have Been Allowed to Play Deadpool


Some actors have been inextricably linked to one movie universe, to the point where they would feel out of place in another. For example, it's difficult to see Gal Gadot in the MCU, and it's nearly impossible to see Robert Downey Jr. as a DC hero. However, a few actors have succeeded in making the transition. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, for example, played Killer Croc in Suicide Squad and Algrim in Thor: The Dark World, while Josh Brolin portrayed Cable in the franchise as well as Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.

However, CNN correspondent Jake Tapper has taken a firm stance against any such crossings. In an interview, Tapper examined the present condition of superhero films in depth, stating that performers should choose between Marvel and DC and stick to one of them out of principle. 

"I believe that if you are in the Marvel Universe, you must have the ethics and the strength not to then walk into the DC Universe as an actor, and both," he said. It's impossible to be J. Jonah Jameson, Peter Parker's boss, and then be Commissioner Gordon for Batman. You're not going to be able to do it, Simmons. It's not fair! You can't do it! You can't be one of Aquaman's nasty gremlin fish-men, then turn around and battle Spider-Man as the Green Gobin. Affleck, you can't be Daredevil and Batman at the same time. You must choose one. I'm an unabashed Affleck supporter. I don't give a damn what anyone says. And he's fantastic as Batman, but he was Daredevil first."


When Tapper questioned if his role as Hal Jordan in Green Lantern meant he shouldn't have played Deadpool, Reynolds said,

"Yes." I believe that one must make sacrifices for the sake of principle. That's what principles are; you stick to them even though it's inconvenient at times. You, for example, respect democracy even if your candidate loses."

Tapper isn't quite right here, as I'm sure some of you are aware. First and foremost, Green Lantern was released in 2011, two years after Reynolds made his debut as Deadpool in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, implying that he should have been prevented from playing Hal Jordan. Reynolds, on the other hand, made his Marvel debut in 2004 as Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity. The House of Ideas, on the other hand, has a considerably stronger claim to the actor than DC does.

It's worth noting that neither Tapper nor host Conan O'Brien are taking this discussion seriously, with both showering accolades on Ryan Reynolds for his Deadpool performance. Even still, let us know in the comments whether you believe that performers shouldn't be able to jump across realms.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
