As if the Deadpool movie news couldn’t get any more exciting now comes word that the greatest women’s mixed martial artist of all time* Gina Carano has been cast in the film.
Carano, the star of the underrated film (for badassery), Haywire, and “Crush” from American Gladiators, is set to play Angel Dust, a woman with superhuman strength who is a part of a group of underground mutants known as The Morlocks.
Talk about great casting. If Carano was a badass in Fast & Furious 6 and in the awful In The Blood, just imagine how much ass she’ll beat as a damn mutant with super strength?
Also recently revealed by Deadpool hisdamnself, Ryan Reynolds, was our first look at a prototype for Deadpool’s mask.
Sepia tone disguises the fact the mask is ballerina pink. It's early. 365 sleeps early. #deadpool #prototypes pic.twitter.com/PekFa2KS7S

Only 360 more “sleeps” to go, as Reynolds put it, until we finally get our Deadpool movie, people. February 12th, 2016? You can’t get here soon enough.
*Okay, probably not the greatest, but definitely the owner of the greatest women’s mixed martial artist GIF of all time. Of that there is no debate.
