In other words, Deadpool was already kind of a big deal before Ryan came along. I would even argue that had the character not already been popular, he would never have been on Reynolds’ radar in the first place.
But surely the Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place actor gave Wade his distinctive voice?
Actually no. Three actors had already played Deadpool to perfection before Reynolds got a hold of the character.
And no, I’m not counting X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I’m pretty sure even Ryan would agree that that movie hurt the character more than it helped him.
As for who gave a voice to Marvel’s infamous chatterbox first, would you believe… the Crypt Keeper? John Kassir first played Deadpool in the 2005 video game X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse.
Kassir did such a great job that he returned to voice the character again in Marvel Ultimate Alliance and its sequel.
