In a recent interview, Ryan Reynolds shared his thoughts, expressing pleasant surprise at Disney’s decision regarding the upcoming film “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Despite Disney’s reputation for family-friendly content, they’ve greenlit the movie with an R-rating intact, marking a significant departure from their usual approach.
Scheduled for release on July 26, this film is notable as Disney’s first since acquiring Fox, the studio behind the previous two R-rated installments. Deadpool fans had concerns about the franchise’s future under Disney’s banner, but the decision to maintain its irreverent humor came as a welcome relief.
During a May 20 interview with Fandango’s Jacqueline Coley, Reynolds, along with Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy, offered insights into the highly anticipated movie. Reynolds expressed pride in Disney’s bold move, acknowledging the diversity it adds to the company’s entertainment portfolio.
While Reynolds admitted surprise at Disney’s willingness to maintain the film’s Hard R-rating, he also expressed gratitude for the creative freedom it affords. He emphasized that they didn’t seek to exploit the rating with gratuitous content but appreciated the opportunity to stay true to the irreverent tone of Deadpool.
Reynolds also noted that the film presents the most authentic portrayal of Wolverine or Logan to date. Director Shawn Levy echoed Reynolds’ sentiments, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the edgy and audacious tone synonymous with Deadpool.
One particularly intriguing aspect of the upcoming movie is its crossover with Hugh Jackman’s character from the X-Men series, promising an exciting convergence of two beloved franchises.
