The new Deadpool VR was announced at the Summer Game Fest, but attentive fans quickly noticed that the sarcastic hero’s voice sounded different than usual. Instead of Ryan Reynolds, How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris is ranting and raving.
But the original actor isn’t taking the recasting lying down and has responded with a clip of his own. In the humorous sketch, he writes in his digital diary about how he feels about it – an allusion to Harris’s old role as the child prodigy Doogie Howser. In the 90s series, the highly gifted Doogie completes his college education at the age of 10 and becomes the youngest doctor in the country at 14.
Marvel’s Deadpool VR is scheduled to be released for Meta Quest 3 and 3S at the end of 2025.
