T.J. Miller Is Weasel In The Upcoming #Deadpool Film

We’ve known for a while that comedian and actor T.J. Miller is on board for the new Deadpool film, but 20th Century Fox had not divulged his character. Now, in typically idiosyncratic style on Twitter, Miller has been dropping hints about the role and finally confirmed the news with a picture that appears to have been taken at a read-through for the movie.

In the comics, Weasel, AKA Jack Hammer, is a college contemporary of Peter Parker, who lived the early part of his life as a relatively harmless, if genius-level nerd. But after crossing paths with Deadpool, he became the Merc with a mouth’s weapons dealer and tech guy, which sounds like what he’ll be up to in the film.

Ryan Reynolds is on as the title character, the former soldier/mercenary who is diagnosed with cancer and turns to the Weapon X programme for help. Their treatments leave him horribly scarred but also endowed with super powers. Gina Carano, Morena Baccarin and Ed Skrein are also all part of the cast.

Visual effects veteran Tim Miller is gearing to start shooting later this month, working from a script by Zombieland duo Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese. It’ll snark its way into UK cinemas on February 12 next year.
