Why Blake Lively Would Be Terrific As Lady Deadpool In Deadpool & Wolverine
If it turns out to be Lady Deadpool inDeadpool & Wolverine, Lively would be a perfect fit for numerous reasons. To begin with, Lively is a talented actress who always has a powerful presence on screen, as seen in many of her recent roles. Seeing her asLady Deadpool would be a very different route for Lively, and allow the audience to see her in a more comedic setting.
Even though 2011’sGreen Lanternmovie had many struggles, one of the highlights of the DC film was the great chemistry between Reynolds and Lively as Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris. While they never got to explore that relationship further afterGreen Lanternflopped at the box office flop, seeing them finally work together again in a successful comic book movie franchise would make up for the lost opportunity. It would also be genuinely funny to see howDeadpool & Wolverine’sversion of Lady Deadpool would be with Lively portraying her, especially in the context of the multiverse.
It would make a lot of sense to have saved Lively’sDeadpoolfranchise debut to the very end of the trilogy, as she didn’t appear inDeadpoolorDeadpool 2. It would also be massively impressive if it ends up being Lively as Lady Deadpool without it being spoiled in advance. With only a month left to go, the MCU audience will know soon enough whether Lady Deadpool is indeed making her cinematic debut inDeadpool & Wolverineand whether Lively will be the actress to bring her to life.
