But before he returns to don the red suit in next year's DEADPOOL movie he was a similar fast-talker in 2002's National Lampoon's Van Wilder. Reynolds' performance in the leading role had quips galore which now seem more like the first time fans had a chance to see Reynolds auditioning for Wade Wilson / Deadpool.
In retrospect, here's eight Van Wilder quotes that really show how, back in 2002, Reynolds was the only actor fit to be Deadpool and fans just didn't realize it back then.
Reynolds' quick wit, facial expressions and overall performance as Van Wilder are more of a prequel to Wade Wilson / Deadpool in DEADPOOL than what was seen in that Wolverine solo movie.
"Her name's Naomi. That's 'I moan' backwards."
"Hey look. I read the damn article all right. But don't tell anyone because if word gets out that I read my reputation shot to hell."
"Are you stalking me? Because that would be super."
"All you need is scented candles, massage oil, and Barry White. Write that down. Look at me. No cock pump."
"I'd like you to meet Sherri and Terri. Two girls utterly infatuated with men who have larger than normal... medulla oblongatas."
"I know Ms. Pac-Man is special. She's fun. She's cute. She swallows."
"Dinner for two. Me and you. Clothing optional."
"We'll be accepting donations in the form of cash, visa, and full frontal nudity."
