Ryan ReynoldslovesDeadpool. So much so, he wants to take theMerc with the Mouthto his grave. No other actor has ever shown this much affection for one of their characters. It is painfully obvious that he is loving every minute of it. And we’ve seen plenty from the actor in costume. He’s been all over every social media platform. And from what we hear, the movie lives up to the hype. So, how many more sequels does Ryan Reynolds have in him?
We’re not sure. While the actor claims he’ll never play another super hero character as long as he lives, he’ll keep coming back to Deadpool as long as20th Century Foxwill have him. In fact, it sounds like he wants to eat, sleep and shave in this crimson red uniform that he has been wearing for the past year.
While Ryan Reynolds will be the first to tell you he was disappointed with how the character came out in 2009’sX-Men Origins: Wolverine, he truly believes he’s rectified that slight on theMarvel anti-hero. This is the most authentic comic book adaptation that has ever been made. And through it all, Ryan Reynolds' affections for all things Deadpool have not diminished.
The same can’t be said of his other foray into the world of big screen superheroes. He starred as Hal Jordan in the gigantic DC flopGreen Lantern, which arrived in 2011 before the whole DCEU was birthed. While a 2020 reboot entitledGreen Lantern Corps.has been confirmed, there is no way Ryan Reynolds will have anything to do with it. The actor insists that his heart belongs only toWade Wilson. He boldly states the following toIGN.
“I never want to play another comic book character again;Deadpool, I would like to play for the rest of my life - that’d be fun.”
Early estimates suggest that Deadpool is going to be a Valentine’s weekend blockbuster. AndDeadpool 2is certainly being discussed. It’s even been hinted byHugh Jackmanhimself that the sequel could introduce the new Wolverine actor. No concrete plans have been revealed about a potential Merc follow-up, and won’t be until the first movie is in theaters. But we guarantee that this franchise isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
