Marvel's Deadpool VR will allow players to virtually step into Deadpools reality, although the voice will not be recognised from the movies. Neil Patrick Harris, known for his roles in TV shows such as 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Doogie Howser', will be taking on the role as Deadpool for the upcoming video game.
Reynolds reacts to the announcement of the new voice of Deadpool in a comical YouTube video. The minute and 25 second video sees Reynold's acting as a doctor whilst typing his thoughts into a computer, as he makes jokes about people who "steal your signature role are the biggest buttholes of all." Reynolds responds to the news with a satirical video, poking fun and referencing Harris' role in 'Doogie Howser'. He is even joined by Robyn Lively, Harris' love interest in the 90's sitcom.
Marvel's Deadpool VR was announced last week as part of the Summer Game Fest showcase, Meta describes the new game "Feel what it's like to go deep inside Deadpool in Marvel's Deadpool VR, an original game developed exclusively for Meta Quest 3/3S. Contracted by Mojo, with the promise of making money, like a lot of money, Deadpool sets out to capture villains from the Marvel Universe."
