Deadpool and Wolverine was a huge hit and a milestone for Marvel this summer. But the road to get there was long.
It has always been known Ryan Reynolds he would return to star in the film, but first Hugh Jackmann he signed on to return to the role of Wolverine, the film was simply known as Deadpool 3and has gone through many iterations.
Reynolds previously said that one version of the threequel featured Colossus’ death, and another made Dopinder a co-protagonist.
Now Reynolds talked a little more about earlier versions of the script in a recent conversation with Andrea Garfield for Variety’s actors on actors. Reynolds called Marvel Studios and Disney “incredible partners,” adding:
“It had to happen, because it was the first proposal I had for Marvel and Kevin Feige five years ago it was a Deadpool-Wolverine movie in Rashomon style, which is his perspective, then mine, then a goal. And they said no.
“Then I proposed the most idiotic films. One was a Sundance film that I had pitched to them: no special effects, no conflicts. And then I proposed one where it’s a two-handed situation between me and the hunter who shot Bambi’s mother. Their response was, “Let’s not touch Bambi, Ryan.”
“So it was like a year and a half of tap dancing until Hugh called and said, ‘I want to come back and do this.’ I don’t know if you found that in “We Live in Time,” but there’s an element where you have to have the confidence to fake it ’til you make it.
As usual, it looks like the best movie was made. Deadpool’s future in the MCU is very open, as it is for Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. Perhaps one day the couple’s paths will cross. We’ll just have to wait and see!
