Morena Baccarin

Deadpool would seem like a character who's difficult to love. He's got some serious scarring, he's mentally insane and he's constantly talking to people who aren't there. But, this is Hollywood and Ryan Reynolds needs someone to fall in love with in the Deadpool movie. Enter Gotham star Morena Baccarin who has joined the upcoming superhero movie as Wade Wilson's love interest.

That solo ‘Deadpool’ movie with Ryan Reynolds is indeed happening, and given the test footage that was released online a while back, plus the backing of ‘X-Men’ writer and producer Simon Kinberg, we’re actually intrigued. As the project, set to hit theaters in 2016, gears up to head into production, Fox is now looking to cast a female lead opposite Reynolds. Among the names on their shortlist are ‘Homeland’ actress Morena Baccarin and ‘Orange is the New Black’ star Taylor Schilling.
