'It Was Just A Talkie-Talkie Road Trip': Why Ryan Reynolds Think He Might Not Be 'Playing Deadpool again'? Actor Reveals
Ryan Reynolds is returning as Deadpool in Deadpool & Wolverine, despite once fearing he might never play the superhero again due to the Disney and Fox merger.
Ryan Reynolds is reprising his role as Deadpool in the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine, but he once feared he might never play the character again due to the Disney and Fox merger.
Ryan Reynolds may not have reprised his role in Deadpool
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reynolds expressed his concerns about the future of Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds admitted, “I didn’t know if I’d ever be playing Deadpool again, It’s not something I would’ve said necessarily publicly, but I didn’t know how a character like that would fit into that world [of the MCU].”
When Deadpool was eventually integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), various ideas for the third installment of the film series were considered. Reynolds revealed that one concept was a Rashomon-style story, presenting three different points of view. Another idea was an indie road trip comedy.
Reynolds explained, “Literally, it was a $5 or $6 million budget with no special effects,” the actor added, "It was just a talkie-talkie road trip with me and [Karan Soni’s character] Dopinder, and some of the things we collected and saw along the way. It wasn’t meant to be an event movie. If we’re on our way to Point C, it was meant to just get us to Point B. That was the weirdest one. I liked it. I thought it was kind of fun."
Ultimately, these ideas were scrapped in favor of a story featuring Deadpool teaming up with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. This collaboration is the storyline that audiences will see when "Deadpool & Wolverine" opens in theaters on July 26.
