I actually like the guy; loved him in Smokin' Aces and thought he was the only reason to watch Blade Trinity. But he just keeps falling on his face.
Deadpool is right in his wheelhouse. If it sucks, he's probably shot as an A Lister.

You have to at least admire he's the one that fought for getting this made. It was D-E-A-D as possible in Hollywood to getting made. He rounded up writers to draft a great spec treatment, worked with design guys to fabricate the look and props specially made, and shot a high end teaser video he put online to gain viral attention. Then used his social media accounts to post cool related picks for the Deadpool project he wanted to make to bring more attention to it hoping fans would push for it to be made.
Eventually they noticed, and somehow the studio gave it the green light. This movie never even happens if he didn't do some serious heavy lifting and collaborating with great talent in presenting their vision of the character for a movie.
Everything I've seen from the clips available looks like for the degree of horrible that Green Lantern was, this will be to the same degree but good.
