Movie news publication Screen Rant said that the voice act could be perfect for Miller given his track record on projects like "How to Train Your Dragon," "Big Hero 6," and on "Transformer's: Age of Extinction."
However, this may not be enough. The website said that 33-year-old actor could be the perfect person to play Wade Wilson's (Ryan Reynolds) trusted sidekick/supplier Jack Hammer, who is also known as "Weasel."
"The role of a brilliant, but somewhat neurotic and offbeat foil to Deadpool is right up Miller's alley, and one that we would be surprised to see missing from the finished film given the characters' shared history," the site speculated.
As for Ed Skrein, his involvement still remained under wraps. However, rumors suggested that he could be the movie's main villain.
"Skrein's talks are further along and while his role remains unknown, it's possible that the up-and-coming action star could play the film's villain," according to The Wrap.
Plot details for the "Deadpool" movie are still unclear but reports indicated Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are penning the script.
"Deadpool" the movie is slated to hit the theaters February 12, 2016.
