MTV reports that Ryan Reynolds will cameo as Wade Wilson, the sarcastic "Merc With a Mouth," in the upcoming "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," reported AintItCoolNews.com. And the 31-year-old actor couldn't be more excited. "I've always wanted to do Deadpool," Reynolds enthused.  

"It's a very tricky character to do. It's ambiguous whether he's good or bad. He's a mercenary. This is all to say nothing of the fact that his face is made entirely of scar tissue," Reynolds sighed back in August. "These are huge issues."

Huge issues that, in some ways, present themselves with Wolverine as well. That's no coincidence, Reynolds explained.

"[Deadpool is] a derivative of the Weapon X program," the same program Wolverine went through, Reynolds said. "They turned him into a puddle and shipped him off. Just left him for dead. But he came back with all these mutant powers. And he's pissed off — in a full-fledged, I'm-gonna-get-you way."
