Ryan Reynolds Shares How Deadpool Came to Be

Movies can actually be a product of blood, sweat, tears, and years. And for Ryan Reynolds, that's exactly how the creation of Deadpool came to be.

In his exclusive interview with GQ, the actor shared what he went through just to make the R-rated funny-awesome film a reality. For one, Reynolds emphasized that he has been knocking on 20^th Century Fox's doors to let him be Deadpool on screen. But the only time it did was when the movie basically ruined the best thing about the Merc with a Mouth: his, well, mouth.

"At the beginning of that movie, that's pretty close to Deadpool's Wade Wilson—we're in the ballpark with that guy. But it completely departed all canon and reason and he wound up being this abomination of Deadpool that was like Barakapool, with his mouth sewn shut and weird blades that came out of his hands and these strange tattoos and stuff like that."

According to Reynolds, he pretty much played very little on screen as far as that Deadpool was concerned. And even though he appreciated the efforts of the one who had to do the stunts for the character.

Eventually, fans saw the movie before it was shown in cinemas. And backlash happened, as Reynolds himself was expecting. Still, things didn't go his way which ended up with Reynolds stuck and somehow forever branded with being Green Lantern, the CGI Corps.

"I wrote a letter to my executive at Fox saying, ‘I'm gonna take this movie Green Lantern if you guys aren't gonna make Deadpool. I'm at the altar, about to say ‘I do' to somebody else, but tell me you want to spend the rest of your life with me, because I want to spend the rest of my life with you.' And they said, ‘Unfortunately, we can't green-light that movie, and I don't think it's ever going to get green-lit.'"

Funnily enough, it didn't dissuade Reynolds completely. After making a stealth-mode script with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and being given the bare minimum budget for filming, we finally ended up with the best movie for Deadpool possible. Of course, there were still hiccups, but we already know that Deadpool is by far one of the sweetest hell rides we've ever been.

Sadly, the sequel is having some hiccups of its own. In yet another director exit chapter, Tim Miller has now exited production of Deadpool 2. To this Reynolds has to say:

"All I can really add is that I'm sad to see him off the film. Tim's brilliant and nobody worked harder on Deadpool than he did."

For now, Deadpool 2 is still set for a March 2018 release date.
