Ryan Reynolds Shares Touching Post With Several Pictures From His Journey Through the DEADPOOL Franchise
Ryan Reynolds is doing pretty well this week. He had a lot of success in the box office over the last two weekends, he had a blast debuting his movie at Comic-Con, and he is as grateful as ever.
The actor is reflecting on the road that has led him to this film, and he posted a series of fun photos from the three films in a heartfelt Instagram post, which reads:
“Nearly a decade of getting to do this. 10 years ago, we would have gleefully taken these BONKERS 2nd weekend numbers as our opening weekend.
“The way #DeadpoolAndWolverine has captured the moment is hard to process. Feels a bit like it’s happening to someone else. Either way, making these movies has been more fun than anyone has a right to have. I can’t help but skip down memory lane a bit.
“There are way too many people who’ve made pivotal creative contributions to list, but obviously my long time co-writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (without whom there would be no Deadpool movie) Tim Miller, Mr David Leitch (who also made Fall Guy — one of the best of the summer films), 20th Century Fox, George Dewey and Kevin Feige. Last on the list but first in my heart: my creative, spiritual (and damn near literal) brothers, Shawn Levy and Hugh Jackman.
“This has always been a game of inches and the relentlessness we hit this movie with (particularly in post production which is another phase of the writing process) is something I’ll never forget.
“Thank you to every single person who showed up for this film. Thank you to everyone seeing it multiple times, making friends with new characters and tipping our hats to some familiar faces we love from the past. What a damn thrill this has been. ❤️⚔️❤️”
It has been a really fun process seeing Deadpool become the phenomenon it is. I love those movies, and it’s very cool to see how humble and happy Reynolds has remained in the process. Check out the post with the photos below, and go watch Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters now:
