Ryan Reynolds is the ONLY person that should play Deadpool. He's the ONLY person who should continue to write the movies as well because he stays true to the character and won't change anything to please Disney and their modern methods of changing characters and sticking ideology in things where they don't belong. He's fighting really hard for the future of the character and the whole Mutant Saga right now. In my opinion he's irreplaceable.

Sandra Angulo 2 weeks ago

I think Jackman is terrific as Wolverine, but I’d love to see other actors’ takes on the character. And Chadwick Boseman was great as Black Panther, but there’s no way he would’ve wanted the character retired after his death. It’s a very important character for many young people who don’t see themselves represented enough in superhero roles. Besides Shuri already took up the mantle of Black Panther in the sequel, but I’m not certain that will stick. And really Black Panther is a character that makes the most sense to change actors since it is a position passed down in their culture.

It really sucked when the things came out about Cosby. Not only did my own dad let me down, but so did my fictional dad. I was also a fan of Little Bill, another show about family that highlights good parenting. It's hard to fathom Cosby can be behind such wholesome content, being who he is.

Brace yourself, but: Bill Cosby as Dr. Huxtable in his tv show. (memo: must separate fiction from reality.)

Not a fan of him personally, but Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf. No one else could have played that role to the perfection that he did.

Agree, that was the first movie I could stand Will Ferrell in. After that I was able to start watching some of his movies and not be completely put off by him.

Geoffrey Bayldon as Catweazle. An oldie for the kids, but if you haven't seen this look it up and treat yourself.

Jack Black as Nacho in Nacho Libre. Just enough silliness to make the character work without going overboard.

Brandon Lee was Eric Draven, and that was one of the reasons the reboot flopped.

I think the movie 3 and 4 probably ruined that they were so goofy.

"Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine in anything." There is no statement more accurate than that one.
