I don't think Ryan Reynolds was that bad as Wade Wilson. I don't think Taylor Kitsch was that bad as Gambit either, but I'm not surprised that role was recast for upcoming X-Men movies. And, much like Kitsch, Reynolds' career has been hurt significantly since 2009 from starring in box-office duds. So on one hand, it's surprising FOX would bring someone back from X-Men Origins, and on another, I'm surprised FOX would trust this man with starring in a movie.

I could also say that since we don't really ever see Deadpool's face, the movie could have cast some stunt double to physically portray Deadpool while another actor could dub over his lines. But I'm just spitballing.
