Ryan Reynolds explains how working on Deadpool movies affects his personal life
Ryan Reynolds has recently weighed in on the future of Deadpool character.
Speaking on Variety’s Actors on Actors with Andrew Garfield, Reynolds said, “My feeling is that that character works very well in two ways: scarcity and surprise.”
He told Garfield, “It’s been six years since the last one and part of the reason is that it swallows my whole life.”
The Green Lantern actor opened up that making a Deadpool movie “is time-consuming” starting with “development through post production into marketing and promo”.
However, Reynolds revealed that this character took up all his energy and he never wanted to be called an absentee dad.
“I don’t ever want to be absentee and I don’t ever want to miss stuff [in their lives]. So, I don’t know what the future of Deadpool will be,” stated the Free Guy actor, who shares four kids with wife Blake Lively.
Reynolds mentioned, “I am proud that we (I and director Shawn Levy) made the movie to be a complete experience instead of a commercial for another one.”
“It’s important sometimes to make space for a movie to just be a movie,” remarked the IF actor.
Reynolds pointed out that the other thing is, “I see Deadpool as a supporting much more than he is a main [character], the centre”.
“We centre him sometimes because that’s what they want, but you can’t centre him unless you take everything away from him. You have to create a situation where he’s so much the underdog, and I don’t think I can do that again,” explained the Red Notice actor.
Reynolds added, “So, I think if he comes back, it’s going to be in someone else’s movie.”
“Channing Tatum was so excited to play Gambit (in Deadpool & Wolverine), and I would happily be the fifth banana in his movie or anyone else’s,” he concluded.
