What Deadpool could have looked like.

Now I know a lot of people (myself included) were not happy with the look of Deapool at the end of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Shiny skin, no mouth, swords kept in his arms meaning he can't bend the arms if the swords are not extended. Still Ryan Reynolds was cool at the start of the film.

It was not the cancer faced, masked merc with a mouth we loved for the comic.

Now this concept art won't make it any easier for us. While still different to the original version there are at least a few nods to his mask and look in the version above by Phillip Boutte Jr. They look as if they were for the Wade Wilson version at the start of the film.

The art below is similar to the final version in the film, but is a lot more sinister looking. Still not quite Deadpool, but it would have been better than the one we saw in the film. Mind you it does look a little like Torquemada from the 2000AD Nemesis the Warlock comic strip.

Nemesis The Warlock to be a Movie...maybe?

That's right, the Arch Deviant, Nemesis the Warlock, from 2000AD is rumoured to be in the works to be movified by the people from Tasdo Productions. Apparantly screenwriter, P. Ben Edwards (Still Life), has said they're in the process of nailing down the script but their is still a long way to go. "I'd love to get Christopher Walken as Torquemada", but casting has yet to be done.

This is great news (although does sound a bit vague and, as they say, a long long way away).

I've always been a big fan of 2000AD characters and something like Nemesis with the mix of sci-fi and fantasy would be absolutely fantastic. Just seeing the Blitzspear flying through the tubes of Termight would be amazing. Basically Nemesis is an alien who fights to protect other aliens from Torquemada's genocidal tyranny.

I've no idea who I would cast in this. Any ideas? Who'd be the perfect Nemesis, Torquemada, Purity Brown and the mighty ABC Warriors?
