Ed Skrein says Deadpool will feature a 'faithful' interpretation of character Ajax.
Ed Skrein
Skrein has really been making a name for himself this year and is set to step into the comic book movie world at the beginning of 2016 when he stars in Deadpool.
The British actor is set to take on the role of Ajax alongside Ryan Reynolds and he reveals that they really have stayed true to the character.
Speaking to HeyUGuys, the actor said: "It's faithful in terms of the beginning part of Ajax when he was in the workshop... Fans of the comics will know that later on he comes back with an all singing, all dancing big shiny suit; we haven't explored that section."
Deadpool is set to be one of the biggest films of Skrein's career to date and is just one of the projects that will send his star rocketing. Deadpool is already one of the most talked about movies of 2016 and will see the actor team up with filmmaker Tim Miller for the first time.
Skrein is back on the big screen this week as he takes over the role of Frank Martin for the first time in The Transporter: Refueled. Camille Delamarre is in the director's chair for the new film, while Ray Stevenson and Loan Chabanol are also on the cast list.
It has been a very busy movie year for Skrein as he has also completed work on Kill Your Friends and The Model. Kill Your Friends is an adaptation of the novel by John Niven and will see Nicholas Hoult, James Corden, and Rosanna Arquette also star.
Deadpool is set to be the first big must see comic book movie of 2016 and is a film that fans have been demanding ever since Reynolds took on the role for the first time in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The movie got a great reaction when the trailer was shown at Comic Con and it does look set to be a huge hit.
Deadpool is released 5th February 2016.
