"Q: You had a pretty big summer movie come out in Wolverine. Did you go after that part or did they come after you?
RR: That character is something that I've been sort of mentioned about for a long, long time and the character in the comic book, Deadpool, even mentioned me {laughs} playing him. So I think it was in some weird way a little bit destined. But I love that character. I love that franchise. I love that whole vibe. So I was happy to jump in there and do it.
Q: Were you forced to read comic books?
RR: No, I've read them before. I read the Deadpool series way back in the '90s. But I'm not like a huge comic book reader per se. I mean, you know, I'll check out Archie when I'm in the grocery line, but that's about it!
Q: How were the fight scenes with Hugh Jackman?
RR: They were intense. I mean, on movies are like this you have a lot of big personalities in one room, and you think that's going to be combustible. But it was just the opposite. I look at it like an ensemble really. I mean there was a whole track of people in there with heavy, heavy storylines that they're trying to pack into this one movie. But it was a shockingly chummy set. Everybody was really into what they were doing and because of that, it's like this bonding experience, I think, to a certain degree. But their action sequences are amazing. I'd never done anything on that scope before. I've done a couple of action movies, but not like this. It was pretty wild.
Q. Were there any that you found especially difficult?
I have a sword sequence in the movie that is probably less than a minute long in the film, but that takes months and months and months to prepare for. When you think about it like that, it's vaguely depressing. But when you actually do it, it's worth it, when you see on the screen that that's me and it's not a stunt person, and I'm doing the whole thing. But that does take a long time - we had action sequences that took weeks to shoot.
Q: There has been some talk about taking Deadpool off into his own series. Is there any new information on that?
RR: No, I mean these things work pretty slowly as they go. I've had a couple of people approach me about meetings from a Deadpool movie, but I just think it's absurd to even think that way until this movie comes out. I don't even look at it like I play Deadpool; I really think I'm more or less playing Wade Wilson obviously, and then I'm playing the creature that will eventually become Deadpool. But in this movie, it's sort of his newly formed version, so to speak.
Q: How did it feel to be replaced as People magazine's Sexiest Man of the Year by Hugh? Did that in any way add tension on the set?
RR: {laughs} Yes, it was brought up often. {laughs} I think Hugh much like every other one of these sexiest people of the year, which just seems like the most absurd crown on earth, he just takes it with a grain of salt. It's pretty silly stuff come to think of it. But yes, he made my life absolutely miserable. Hugh has always been the sexiest man alive. {laughs} Let's be honest.
Q: You have another summer movie with The Proposal. This is turning into a big year for you?
RR: Yeah, it is. It's definitely a big year for me - Wolverine and then this movie, The Proposal. That's a movie I loved. I got to work with Sandra Bullock, who has been a friend of mine for almost a decade, and that was kind of interesting to spend that time with her. But I have no control over release dates. I've been shooting for 15 months straight, and maybe I should have known they'd all be stacked up like this, but it's a pretty interesting position to be in. I mean if you have three comedies that are being released in the three months - first off, the studios would be insane to do that, but they've done it before with other actors. And secondly, people burn out on that kind of brand. So I'm lucky, I have three completely different movies coming out. Each one is an entirely different genre unto itself. I get a little cooked doing the same thing over and over. I feel really fortunate that I'm able to go from genre to genre.
Q: So you don't make your choices based on wanting to avoid being be typecast?
RR: Not usually, no. I've never had a movie that I was the star of that made a billion dollars at the box office. Maybe things change for people when that happens. Maybe suddenly you're sort of pushed in that direction a lot more, but in a way, I've been lucky because of that. I can do a bunch of different stuff."
I cant wait for some more developing news regarding Green Lantern and Deadpool. I can only hope that most of the Deadpool movie will have Reynolds in full Deadpool gear, meaning: Put The Mask On Already Fox!
