Before Deadpool 3 becameDeadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds wasn’t short of ideas for his next outing as the Merc with the Mouth.
In a new interview withEW, he describes one treatment as “a Rashomon story that had these three different points of view,” while another concept is described as more of a “Sundance indie film”.
“Literally, it was a $5 or $6 million budget with no special effects,” Reynolds told the publication. “It was just a talkie-talkie road trip with me and [Karan Soni’s character] Dopinder and some of the things we collected and saw along the way. It wasn’t meant to be an event movie. If we’re on our way to Point C, it was meant to just get us to Point B. That was the weirdest one. I liked it. I thought it was kind of fun.”
Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in UK cinemas on July 25 and US theaters on July 26. While we wait, make sure you’re up to date with the story so far in the MCU with our guide toMarvel Phase 5.
