For some time now, much of the mutant cast for Deadpool has been revealed, save for actor Ed Skrein. Today, however, Skrein took to Twitter to confirm that he will be playing none other than Ajax, one of the characters directly responsible for Wade Wilson becoming Deadpool in the source material. Previously an attendee at the Weapon X program, Ajax was transformed into a killing machine that couldn’t feel pain in addition to having increased strength and speed.
