DEADPOOL 2 Star Ryan Reynolds Shares Photos From The First Time He Suited Up As The Merc With The Mouth
With Deadpool 2 currently in its second weekend of release, Ryan Reynolds has taken to social media to share photos from the first time he donned the Merc with the Mouth's suit during a costume test...
Deadpool 2 is performing well at the box office (especially as Solo: A Star Wars Story hasn't posed as big a problem as many analysts suspected) and Ryan Reynolds is celebrating that today by not only suggesting a Deadpool/Guardians of the Galaxy crossover to James Gunn but by sharing some fantastic photos of the first time he wore the Merc with the Mouth's iconic comic book costume in 2015.
This must have felt good, especially after the X-Men Origins: Wolverine fiasco and the years he spent trying to bring the character to the big screen. Even after Deadpool was announced, many fans were convinced Fox wouldn't let Reynolds wear the suit because it was far too comic book accurate.
Well, we were all proved wrong and this costume test looks fantastic and a lot of effort was clearly put into bringing Deadpool into a live-action setting in a way which would make purists happy. Thanks to the marketing campaigns for both movies, Reynolds has worn the costume an awful lot over the past few years and many fans are hoping he'll get to keep wearing it despite the Disney/Fox merger.
