In an interview with Collider, Ryan Reynolds opened up about what intrigued him to play this famous Marvel Comic character in the Tim Miller-directed movie Deadpool. He explained,
“Well, every comic book movie I go to nobody f**king dies! I mean, like, everybody’s getting shot at, it’s like an episode of The A-Team, you know, everyone’s shooting the ground- so, we get an opportunity to do this in a way that follows all the scripture that Deadpool’s laid out, which is fourth-wall breaking, that kind of mercenary sensibility and humor and then we also have this opportunity, which is very rare in this world, to do something that’s not necessarily for just kids. There’s some pretty racy, pretty hyper-violent things that happen in this movie, and it’s been a lot of fun to shoot.”
