Actor says he used his own salary to pay for screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to be on set
Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters from July 25th as one of the most anticipated productions of the year, but Ryan Reynolds had no idea how successful the franchise would be when he decided to give up his salary just to make the first film, released in 2016, happen.
“No part of me was thinking, when Deadpool finally got approved, that it would be a success. I even stopped getting paid for the film just to get it on the big screen”revealed to the The New York Times.
“They didn’t allow my co-writers Rhett Reese It is Paul Wernick come on set, so I took what little pay I had left and paid them to come on set with me so we could form a real writers’ room.”continued.
He further said that the experience of performing Deadpool it was “a lesson”: “I think one of the great enemies of creativity is too much time and money, and that movie had no time or money. It really promoted a focus on character rather than spectacle, which is a little harder to pull off in a comic book movie.”he explained.
“I was so invested in every little detail of it and I hadn’t felt like that in a long, long time. I remembered wanting to feel that more—not just in Deadpoolbut in anything”he added.
What is the story of Deadpool & Wolverine?
A supposed synopsis of Deadpool & Wolverinepublished on the online market website Zazzle – from where it was removed some time later -, states that Deadpool It is Wolverine (Hugh Jackman, The Greatest Showman) will come together on an adventure and give a “special touch” in events that took place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Not only will the duo work to defeat a roster of Marvel villains, but they’ll also break down many MCU gates, putting their own R-rated 20th Century Fox-style twists on some of our favorite moments from Phases 1-4 of the universe.”said the supposed synopsis, which should be considered a rumor until confirmed by Marvel.
