All of this sounds like a fun role for someone, but why would a leading man like Reynolds want it? Maybe he saw how much fun Bradley Cooper had voicing Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy. Or he enjoyed all the parts where he could hide his face in his Deadpool costume . Maybe he's anticipating how very cool this gig will make him in the eyes of his daughters. Maybe he agreed to this in a fit of Pokémon Go obsession.
