With each passing day, Deadpool & Wolverine is getting closer and closer to topping $1 billion at the global box office, which would be a well-earned achievement and the first time an X-Men movie has entered the billion-dollar club - and hopefully, a positive sign of things to come as we inch toward the mutant era.

Unless you've been living in an underground bunker, you probably know by now that the blockbuster Shawn Levy-directed film features numerous supporting characters that hadn't been revealed to the public prior to its release, namely X-23 (Dafne Keen), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Blade (Wesley Snipes), and Gambit (Channing Tatum). However, there was also another major character that appeared slightly earlier in the film that has a long history of setting the box office on fire.

Long before he was dropping billion-dollar hit after billion-dollar hit as Captain America, Chris Evans got his big break as a mainstream movie star playing the fan-favorite Johnny Storm, a.k.a. the Fantastic Four's Human Torch, in a pair of Tim Story-directed pre-MCU Marvel adventures. While it seemed unlikely that he'd return to the role, especially after his iconic turn as Steve Rogers, Deadpool & Wolverine offered him an unique opportunity to work alongside pals Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, while also paying tribute to the role that ultimately led him to Marvel Studios.

In an Instagram story yesterday, Evans expressed his gratitude for getting a chance to step back into the MCU, saying, "Thank you to Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy for letting me be a part of such an incredible movie! They’re three of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Special thank you to Ryan for making it all happen.

Playing Johnny again was a dream come true and he’ll always have a special place in my heart."

Check out his post below:

In our review, we said, "Deadpool & Wolverine is the ultimate Marvel movie, a non-stop blockbuster entertainer with a heart of red and gold. Ryan Reynolds is truly Marvel Jesus, breathing new life into the MCU and resurrecting the X-Man himself Hugh Jackman for one of the most wildly enjoyable comic book movies ever, with both delivering all-time performances that will go down in the CBM history books. Don’t head to the theater expecting answers about the future of the X-Men in the MCU or any of the larger ramifications on the Sacred Timeline, just walk in expecting a good time with Deadpool and Wolverine - maybe grab a popcorn bucket - and, trust me, you’ll walk out extremely happy."

Shawn Levy directs “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen.

Kevin Feige, Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey and Simon Kinberg serving as executive producers. “Deadpool & Wolverine” is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” delivers the ultimate team-up throwdown on July 26.

That was the best, especially the post credits scene. Love that guy.

TheLobster - 8/1/2024, 10:15 AM

Haha holy shit girl - you’re crazy!

ItsNotForMeWahh - 8/1/2024, 10:16 AM

Hopefully that'll shut up the people saying he filmed those scenes separately

Apophis71 - 8/1/2024, 11:05 AM

@ItsNotForMeWahh - My guess, it won't, and claim was photoshopped into that image too

TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 10:19 AM

@VectorSigma.

What will you say next I wonder? You argued they were in seperate scenes? What next?

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:26 AM

@TheRogue - funny that i juat downloaded a torrent copy and rewatched those scenes.

Bts puctures are different from the final movie.

ALL of Evans'scenes didnt have Jackman and Reynolda anywhere near him.

A BTS photo showing them together is different. The final cut of the film is different.

This actually makes me more critical of the marvel process as these kinda of things result from an adhoc script and changes on them happens even during post prod that they need reshoots and most of the time, the actors have different commitments so they cant shoot together again.

In comparison, you wont awe that happen under a Gunn movie. He even shot the gotg xmas special back 2 back with gotg3. The script is well polished he doesnt need these kinds of fakery.

TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 10:29 AM

@vectorsigma - You have officialy lost it.

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:32 AM

@TheRogue - and just to add. Id imagine the original shoots didnt have dp and wolverine tied up together. Because why are they the only ones tied up and johnny was just sitting there? There was a different version of that scene where they are all together for sure, but that wasnt in the final cut

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:35 AM

@TheRogue - "You have officialy lost it."

Why say that? Because i can see the BS scenes?

This is a film relying on cameos to lift it. The best they can do is at least make them all be together in at least some scenes. But no. It is EVERY scene.

Thor, elektra, blade, gambit, all faked. The only real interaction was wolverine and laura.

TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 10:36 AM

@vectorsigma - You are [frick]ing all over the place. What are you talking about. The set photo is right [frick]ing there. They touch and everything in the [frick]ing movie.

TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 10:36 AM

@vectorsigma - Lmao we have the evidence you are wrong. Take the L and shut the holy [frick] up.

Doomsday8888 - 8/1/2024, 10:41 AM

@vectorsigma
In the end-credits scene they are all there.

DTor91 - 8/1/2024, 10:41 AM

@vectorsigma - WAITED for this to drop just to see more of your idiocy.

And crazy stuff too, more photos are out there showing BUILT SETS and all…but surely that’s all fake too.

Wild stuff for admitting to piracy too. You really do just spend all day on your computer. Explains a LOT.

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:43 AM

@TheRogue - i just said bts photos are differe t from the final cut.

And again, this doesnt look well for me as it says a lot on the "throwing in the wall" marvel process right now with all the reshoots.

Lets compare again.

Nwh was shot during covid. And there are great scenes there where maguire, garfield and holland are together. Even zendaya and batalon were also there. In the hs lab scene.

We are not in covid anymore so these kinds of aporoach cheapens the cameo fest.

TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 10:45 AM

@vectorsigma - THEY WERE AT SET. THEY WERE THERE. YOU WERE WRONG!!!

[frick]ing hell.

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:48 AM

@DTor91 - lolz, it is actually more iditic to be excited on these fake cameos.

Again, i just said that bts pictures are different from the final cut.

I literslly said "all of evans' scenes in the film, he is nowhere near the two". How can you misunderstand that and call itnidiocy?

Yeah i am always in a computer and in my mom's basement. I watched the film twice already that i just need to torrent it to prove youg guys (again) wrong on this.

Fogs - 8/1/2024, 10:50 AM

@TheRogue - heyyy he was there just visiting the set in his F4 costume, doesn't mean he filmed that day! 😂🤣

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:50 AM

@TheRogue - how hard it is to get "THE MOVIE didnt have them together on all scenes"?

TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 10:51 AM

@vectorsigma -

They were on set togethor. At all scenes.

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:53 AM

@Doomsday8888 - i dont think so.reposting the below

Id imagine the original shoots didnt have dp and wolverine tied up together. Because why are they the only ones tied up and johnny was just sitting there? There was a different version of that scene where they are all together for sure, but that wasnt in the final cut

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:54 AM

@Fogs - reposting

This actually makes me more critical of the marvel process as these kinda of things result from an adhoc script and changes on them happens even during post prod that they need reshoots and most of the time, the actors have different commitments so they cant shoot together again

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:55 AM

@TheRogue - now you are trolling.

I was busy and you tagged me.

And now you cant maintain a good discussion.

Just watch it again. I already did multiple times

TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 10:57 AM

@vectorsigma - You're a joke man. Everyone can see it now. You've fallen off.

Just admit you were wrong next time

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 11:00 AM

@TheRogue - i admit when im wrong.

I admit my BO prediction for this as wrong.

I admit xmen 97 being great and i was wrong.

You need to learn it sometimes, this instance is a good chance

Spoken - 8/1/2024, 11:01 AM

@vectorsigma - I just can't imagine the thought process or scheduling if they literally have Chris Evans on set with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, all in wardrobe and makeup, to say...ALRIGHT LET'S SHOOT THEIR SCENES SEPARATE...

YOU MEAN...they shot this scene of them talking inside this ORB looking prison right, but shot all these actors separately from the set? Yet this image refutes your claim, despite you saying "well it may have changed in the final cut"

It would make ZERO SENSE, based on this picture from a timing perspective (since with filmmaking time is usually not on your side) that they were able to film all of Johnny's scenes, without the two main actors, when this picture shows the main two actors, IN COSTUME...IN MAKEUP, ON SET, WITH JOHNNY. They shot for TWO DAYS, so you mean to tell me they managed to get a set pic, of everyone in costume in said scene and Shawn Levy was like "ALRIGHT GUYS, SEPARATE!"

There is literally NO WAY they shot them separately and given the after credits sequence, there is ZERO chance they added Johnny like a copy and paste job. Deadpool literally hugs Johnny. He was literally on set, all of them.

Stop comparing this to MoM's set, which had different circumstances and a different time (literally two years ago)

Compare all you want, but your argument is becoming more and more invalid. The math ain't mathing because by your logic and knowledge (or lack thereof of how this scene was shot) you clearly are basing this off previous movies which you said they shot during "COVID" right? When was MoM shot? Oh that's right 2021! When was D&W shot? 2023. Different time, different circumstances.

They shot the scene together...argument over. Grasp straws for something else please, I'm embarrassed for you with reading your comments about this particular scene.

TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 11:02 AM

@vectorsigma - Well you cant wiggle your way out of a bo prediction being wrong. Its a number.

How convienent.

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 11:05 AM

@Spoken - i gues reading my previous arguments in the thread first helps before countering it

I actually said that a scene with all of them together was shot, this picture is proof

But because marvel likes to change things and reshoot, the actors are not available anymore with other commitments so they just fake it

Spoken - 8/1/2024, 11:11 AM

@vectorsigma - Okay but what is the point of this random factoid?

"But because marvel likes to change things and reshoot, the actors are not available anymore with other commitments so they just fake it"

Like who cares which scene was reshot or which actors were in it or not? Like seriously, grasping at straws would be an understatement with your argument.

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 11:15 AM

@Spoken - i also said that i am critical of this marvel process as it tells how much they like to change the script and reshoot. Jarring and typically happens with a bad script which this movie has

Spoken - 8/1/2024, 11:19 AM

@vectorsigma - But you are acting as if Marvel is the ONLY STUDIO that does this process. Not everything has to be by the T robotic to the script. Some things work, some may not. This is almost every blockbuster whether it is Marvel or not.

Mind you Iron Man was shot WITHOUT a script...think about that.

comicfan100 - 8/1/2024, 11:32 AM

@vectorsigma - This movie's success broke you, man. It'll get better.

SpiderCop9997 - 8/1/2024, 12:15 PM

@vectorsigma - The cast of GOTG were not together on set in every scene. The movie was shot in the volume. Superman was never in a scene with Mr Terrific. Set photos can be faked. LMFAOlololololol

Touch grass maniac.

BruceWayng - 8/1/2024, 10:23 AM

I heard a rumor that Hugh might be coming back to play Sabertooth

IAmAHoot - 8/1/2024, 10:32 AM

He love that he has a utility belt just to troll on him being Cap.

TheVisionary25 - 8/1/2024, 11:01 AM

@IAmAHoot - yep plus the blue and the red taped wrists I think made it really seem like that was the case so it was a nice misdirect.

mountainman - 8/1/2024, 10:44 AM

Would Pyro have been the “fireiest” cast member as he won the fire battle between the two of them?

comicfan100 - 8/1/2024, 11:33 AM

@mountainman - Johnny is actually on fire and can generate it.

mountainman - 8/1/2024, 11:36 AM

@comicfan100 - And was extinguished quite easily, which probably would have bothered me had it happened anywhere besides a Deadpool movie.

I was really just joking anyway. I liked seeing Chris back as Johnny, I just wish he would have gotten at least one moment to use his powers in a cool way. Him getting taken out so easily was very reminiscent of X-Force in Deadpool 2.

Typhoon20 - 8/1/2024, 10:55 AM

He will always be the best Chris.

vectorsigma - 8/1/2024, 10:58 AM

Johnny is also written dumb to just fire off like that knowing pyro is just absorbing it.

Too little creativity on that fight scene. At least it made the boys giddy, right?
