Ryan Reynolds Jokes About What It Was Really Like Trying To Get Deadpool

Deadpool had a long road to theaters, but it worked out for Ryan Reynolds and company. Actor Ryan Reynolds has had a long and successful career in film, with his starpower becoming even brighter thanks to his leading role in the Deadpool franchise. But the Merc with the Mouth had a difficult time getting to theaters, sitting in development hell for a number of years. Now Reynolds has joked about what it was really like trying to get Deadpool made for so long, before admitting he almost gave up.

Given the insane box office and critical reception of both Deadpool movies, it’s hard to imagine that anyone would put up a fight against the foul-mouthed hero’s franchise. But that’s exactly what happened, with the “leaked” test footage helping to give the first movie momentum and fan excitement. The Waiting… actor recently reflected on the struggle of getting Wade Wilson to the big screen, saying:

You know, it wasn’t like I was whippin’ out a broadsword and heading up the hill to fight my way through the executives again. It was, new leadership would come in, and I would go do the song-and-dance.

Sounds like quite a process. While superhero movies have proven themselves extremely profitable, Deadpool was a different type of project. With an R-rating and a fourth-wall breaking title character, Ryan Reynolds really had to sell studio execs in order to get the franchise started. Luckily that song-and-dance eventually paid off.

Ryan Reynolds’ comments to CBS come as he's promoting his upcoming Netflix movie The Adam Project opposite Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. Eventually the conversation turned to his signature character Deadpool, and what it took to get the fan-favorite movie in theaters for the first time.

Luckily that’s not what happened. Ryan Reynolds stuck to his past, and the first Deadpool movie proved that an R-rated superhero movie could still be a massive hit at the box office. A sequel was quickly produced, which was similarly successful. Now the question is: what’s next?

Fans have been wondering about the future of the Deadpool franchise ever since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox and its properties. While Ryan Reynolds has been in touch with the powers that be at Marvel Studios, it’s unclear if/when the threequel will ever come to fruition. What’s more, fans are hoping to see the Merch with a Mouth crossover with characters like The Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Adam Project will hit Netflix on March 11th. In the meantime, check out the 2022 movie release dates to plan your next movie experience.

Ryan Reynolds Shares How His Anxiety Makes Him Feel Like a ‘Different Person'

In a new interview with "CBS Sunday Morning," Ryan Reynolds spoke about his battle with anxiety and feeling like he has "two parts of my personality."

From afar, it looks like Ryan Reynolds has all the confidence in the world. But in a new interview with "CBS Sunday Morning," the 45-year-old actor shared how the self-assurance he exudes on the outside doesn't always match how he feels on the inside.

"I've had anxiety my whole life really," he said during the interview, which aired Feb. 27. "I feel like I have two parts of my personality that one takes over when that happens."

Looking back at some of his talk-show appearances, including those on "Late Night With David Letterman," Reynolds recalled how he "would always be nervous" before going onto the stage.

"I remember, I'd be standing backstage before the curtain would open," the "Deadpool" star continued, "and I would think to myself, 'I'm gonna die. I'm literally gonna die here. Or, the curtain's going to open and I'm just going to be a symphony of vomit. Just like, something horrible's gonna happen.'"

But then, something else would occur. "But as soon as that curtain opens -- and this happens in my work a lot, too -- it's like this little guy takes over and he's like, 'I got this. You're cool,'" he said. "I feel like my heart rate drop and my breathing calm and I just kind of go out and I'm this different person. And it's like I leave that interview going, 'God, I'd love to be that guy.'"

Reynolds has spoken about his battle with anxiety before, and how it's something he's experienced since he was a child. "I have three older brothers," he told Variety in 2017. "Our father was tough. He wasn't easy on anyone. And he wasn't easy on himself. I think the anxiety might have started there, trying to find ways to control others by trying to control myself. At the time, I never recognized that. I was just a twitchy kid."

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Pledge to Match Up to $1 Million in Donations for Ukrainian Refugees

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, one of Hollywood’s favorite power couples, have proven yet again why they’re so lovable: The couple announced they would match every donation up to $1 million for refugees fleeing from was in the Ukraine.

The ‘Deadpool’ actor shared on Twitter that he and Lively were working with the United Nations Refugee Agency to help those in need in Ukraine.

Ryan Reynolds Opens Up On Battling Anxiety

The 'Deadpool' actor admits that he was so anxious before appearing on TV that he thought to himself, "I'm gonna literally die here"

Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds appears to be one of the most confident individuals in Hollywood, but in a recent interview, the actor divulges that his public image is extremely different from the anxious person he is on the inside.

According to People, the 45-year-old actor has struggled with anxiety since he was a youngster, as he revealed on 'CBS Sunday Mornings.'

I've had anxiety my whole life really. And you know, I feel like I have two parts of my personality, that one takes over when that happens," he said. The outgoing Reynolds shown on film is frequently a last-second shift from his genuine nature, according to Reynolds.

"When I would go out on, like, Letterman, back in the day, I was nervous. But I remember I'd be standing backstage before the curtain would open, and I would think to myself, 'I'm gonna die. I'm literally gonna die here. The curtain's gonna open and I'm just gonna be, I'm just gonna be a symphony of vomit,' just, like, something horrible's gonna happen!" he said.

Reynolds added, "But as soon as that curtain opens, and this happens in my work a lot too, it's like this little guy takes over. And he's like, 'I got this. You're cool.' I feel, like, my heart rate drop, and my breathing calm, and I just sort of go out and I'm this different person. And I leave that interview going, 'God, I'd love to be that guy!' "

Reynolds initially talked openly about his anxiety in May, and he credits his family with inspiring him to do so.

"Part of it is that I have three daughters at home and part of my job as a parent is to model behaviours and model what it's like to be sad and model what it's like to be anxious, or angry. That there's space for all these things," he said, as per People magazine.
