“Deadpool & Wolverine'': Ryan Reynolds proposed “a two-person play between Deadpool and the hunter who shot Bambi's mother,'' but of course this was rejected | THE RIVER

In “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Deadpool and Wolverine from the “X-MEN” universe burst into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many dream co-stars based on the multiverse were realized, but the preparations were difficult. There seems to have been a lot of trial and error in the process. Ryan Reynolds, who co-starred in the role of Deadpool/Wade Wilson and also produced the film, talked about the bizarre ideas that went into creating the story in a project for Variety.

It is known that the direction of the story in “Deadpool & Wolverine” was largely determined when Hugh Jackman, who had previously graduated from the role of Wolverine, agreed to reprise the role. Reynolds said he had been pitching various ideas to Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige for about a year and a half before Jackman's return was confirmed.

“One was a Sundance movie with no special effects or collisions. I also suggested a two-person play with me and the hunter who shot Bambi's mother. And he said, 'We're not going to do Bambi, Ryan.' '' Reynolds said this time. Reynolds has said in the past that he was dreaming up a small story with a budget of less than $10 million that would be submitted to the Sundance Film Festival, a prestigious gateway for indie films.

Regarding the “Bambi” story, Reynolds also wrote on social media during pre-production, “First item to deal with: finding the person who killed Bambi's mother.” It didn't make any sense at the time, but Reynolds apparently considered a story in which Deadpool hunts down the hunter who killed Bambi's mother. Even if I think about it now, it still doesn't make sense.

After it was decided that Wolverine would appear, Feige proposed a Rashomon-style story in which Deadpool and Wolverine tackle an event from their own perspectives, but Feige also rejected this idea. In the end, the story revolved around Deadpool and Wolverine fighting to prevent the world from collapsing through their adventures in the void, and it became a huge hit, grossing more than $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office. It helped put a stop to the declining popularity of Marvel movies.

“You have to appear confident, even if it's a lie, until you make it happen,'' Reynolds says of the lessons he learned from pulling off such a reckless project. “Life is not a TED talk. You have to go straight to it.”
