Though he was
together with T.J. Miller one of the first actors to be cast in director Tim
Miller's Deadpool, Game of Thrones alum Ed Skrein is one of the last to reveal
what character he's playing in the film, which is currently in production. The
actor has revealed via Twitter that he is playing Francis, aka Ajax in film.

Ajax was the enforcer
of Doctor Killbrew, the scientist behind the Weapon X Program, which besides
Wolverine also created Deadpool.
Like many in the
program, Francis was also a test subject. He had his nerves altered to make him
immune to most levels of pain, and his speed, strength, durability, and
intuitive capabilities were increased. As Ajax however, he was even stronger, and
faster, which enabled him to create sonic micro booms, and boil opponents alive
due to friction heat.
Opening on
February 12th, 2016, Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular character,
Morena Baccarin as Copycat, T.J. Miller as Weasel, and Brianna Hildebrand as
Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Ed Skrein as
Ajax, and Gina Carano.
