6. Weapon XI & Hector (Scott Adkins)
Ryan Reynolds takes a lot of flak for his portrayal of Deadpool in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie – but the fact is it wasn’t even him! Reynolds portrayed Wade Wilson – the mouthy mercenary – and he did a really good job of it (as he is expected to do in next year’s Deadpool movie), but the Frankenstein’s monster version of Deadpool AKA Weapon XI that Wilson was transformed into in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was actually played by Scott Adkins.
Adkins is an English actor and martial artist who has played multiple roles in movies but, arguably most prominently, he portrayed Hector – the right-hand man of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Jean Vilain – inThe Expendables 2.
