Ricky Baker himself, Julian Dennison, has joined the cast of Deadpool 2! The news of the Hunt For The Wilderpeople actor joining the sequel was announced via Ryan Reynolds’ hugely entertaining Instagram channel earlier today, complete with an image of them both on set on the first week of shooting.
Dennison joins the already cast Josh Brolin (Cable) and Zazie Beetz (Domino), along with Leslie Uggams and T.J. Miller who returns as Weasel.
David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blonde) is directing the new film for 20th Century Fox. It is obviously a sequel to last year’s massive hit Deadpool, which still remains the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time with $780-odd million in the bank.
Hunt For The Wilderpeople helmer Taika Waititi, who himself is engaged in a Marvel project, directing the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, also toasted the news on Twitter.
