Ryan Reynolds Stole A Major DEADPOOL Prop From Set
Four months after principal photography wrapped on the long-awaited Deadpool, leading man Ryan Reynolds has revealed an unauthorized souvenir he nabbed from the set, which he justifies by declaring how long it took Fox to greenlight the hard-R adaptation. Check it out!
There are only four and a half months left before the Merc With a Mouth returns to the big-screen in the much-anticipated hard-R rated Deadpool movie. However, considering how long it took 20th Century Fox to get the project off the ground, star Ryan Reynolds recently revealed that he had sticky fingers on set and that he stole a pretty big souvenir once filming wrapped. "I loved wearing [the suit] and I have run away with one," he told Marie Claire mag. "I'll probably get into trouble for saying that, but I've waited 10 years to do this movie so I'm leaving with a f***ing suit."
Ryan Reynolds later fessed that the 10-year wait to do Deadpool might have been beneficial especially considering what director Tim Miller has brought to the fourth wall-breaking mutant. "Sometimes the long game pays off," he said. "I never thought it would come to fruition, it's been an uphill battle but there was such an appetite for that character on screen." Reynolds continued, discussing the movie's budget and how its lowness was also beneficial. "We did it with a relative pittance compared to most superhero films, but it really allowed us to explore the character. When you see the movie, you would think it's a $150 million film, but actually it's not at all."
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. Directed by Tim Miller, while starring Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa Carlysle), T.J. Miller (Weasel), with Ed Skrein, and Brianna Hildebrand (Ellie Phimister), the much-hyped Deadpool is scheduled to open in theaters on February 12, 2016.
