Deadpool & Wolverine is right around the corner, and that means stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, as well as director Shawn Levy, will be getting bombarded with incisive questions for the next few weeks. Of course, the matter of whether the two iconic Marvel characters will return for one or two Avengers movies has already been brought up, and to our surprise, the trio is doing a very bad job of hiding the truth.
The relevant bits can be found in Variety’s interview with the two actors and the director, who have done as much heavy lifting themselves to sell the hell out of the movie as Disney and Marvel’s marketing teams.
The entire conversation is well worth a read if you still care about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially given that the Deadpool threequel – including Hugh Jackman’s return as Logan – has been inherited from the 20th Century Fox era of the X-Men-related characters and represents Disney-owned Marvel Studios’ first foray into R-rated territory. “But it’s never rated R just to be rated R. A lot of it is just the character. The character is very crass. His brain is like a half-eaten omelet inside the skull of a 7-year-old,” Reynolds says about the adults-only rating, likely fully aware that many entire families will go watch it together regardless, as the early box office tracking suggests.
