Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine
As Deadpool & Wolverine continue their ascent at the box office, Collider's Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to chat with Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy for an interview Reynolds calls "the spoiler one where you're supposed to just get the chance to open up the robe completely, and I show you stuff." This gave us the chance to ask some of our most burning questions after the credits (and postcredits scene) rolled. Now, we've got the answers all in one place.
Deadpool's third film officially introduced him to Kevin Feige's MCU, as well as Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, bringing this duo together onscreen again at long last. For a bromance this epic and longanticipated, fans already knew the movie would pack a punch or two, but Reynolds and Levy brought a whole multiverse of legacy characters, variants, and special surprises that brought even Reynolds to tears. While he may not know who Earth616's anchor being is, Reynolds does admit Jackman is his in real life and discusses working with the Deadpool & Wolverine crew, his gratitude for the overwhelming response of the movie, and honoring a time when actors like Hugh Jackman and himself made a name for themselves.
During the interview, which you can read below, Reynolds and Levy discuss their process before and during production when perfecting this story. They discuss honoring legacy characters who "never got a third act," like Wesley Snipes as Blade, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and Channing Tatum's Gambit movie that was ultimately lost to the "bygone era" of 20th Century Fox. They talk about filming the action sequences between Deadpool and Wolverine, the rumored Taylor Swift appearance, Henry Cavill's cameo, bringing back Chris Evans with the promise of an Rrated Marvel moment, and so much more.
