Every Time Ryan Reynolds Praised His ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Costars

“Deadpool & Wolverine” star Ryan Reynolds has been effusive in his praise for the film’s star-studded cast, thanking them for contributing to its record-breaking success. The film, which premiered on June 26, features a lineup of familiar faces from 20th Century Fox’s early 2000s and 2010s Marvel films, including “Daredevil” and “Blade.”

Reynolds has showered accolades on stars such as Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Garner, and Channing Tatum. He referred to Snipes as “Marvel Daddy,” reminisced about Tatum’s attempts to bring Gambit to the screen, and described Garner as having a “black belt in nice.”

His admiration for his Wolverine costar, Hugh Jackman, is already well-known from their extensive joint press appearances. Let’s take a closer look at how Reynolds has gushed about his other costars.

Wesley Snipes:

Reynolds noted the pivotal role Snipes played in establishing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “There is no Fox Marvel Universe or MCU without Blade first creating a market,” he wrote. “He’s Marvel Daddy.”

Jennifer Garner:

Speaking of Garner, Reynolds highlighted her versatility and innate humanity. “She might have that ‘black belt in nice,’ but inside her is an unblinking hurricane of vengeance,” he said. “I’ve worked with Jen twice now. She brings a completely different scope of skills to each movie but can’t hide one detail… her humanity. She’s not only one of my favorite performers, she’s one of my favorite people. I love her and will always owe her one. Or five.”

Channing Tatum:

For Tatum, Reynolds was thrilled to see him revive a Marvel role. “Imagine having a front row seat to this guy. He’s a once in a generation talent and a genuinely good man,” Reynolds wrote. “I know what it feels like to will a character into existence and Chan did just that. Then he put the most vivid/authentic version of the character onscreen.” He also joked about the Gambit shirt Tatum wore at Comic-Cons they attended a decade apart, calling them “two of the best days of my life.”

Dafne Keen:

Reynolds expressed his appreciation for Dafne Keen, the breakout star of “Logan,” who also appears in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” “When Dafne Keen shows up in #DeadpoolAndWolverine, she shines her light toward the big beating heart of the movie. Dafne and Hugh standing next to each other is a pinch-me moment. It stands on the shoulders of the ‘Logan’ film, which is both a masterpiece and a giant.” He added that during the “relentless post production” process, he was still thrilled to see her in her character’s sunglasses.

Jon Favreau:

Reynolds also praised Jon Favreau, who reprises his role as Happy Hogan. “Jon Favreau didn’t just jump into #DeadpoolAndWolverine for a quick one night stand as Happy Hogan. He gave us the 360-degree vision of an innovator, foundational Marvel forefather and ace storyteller,” Reynolds wrote. He added humorously, “If I have his number right, he is wildly uncomfortable with everything I’m writing in this post. But f–k it, I got what I needed out of him so he’s going to drink the medicine.”

Reynolds expressed how working with Favreau was a dream come true, both as a fan and an actor. “One of the many things I love about playing Deadpool is that he’s a fan. Like me. So, working with Jon, who’s one of the original creatives who built an empire, was somehow better than sitting with one of my heroes. And almost better than being cradled in Thor’s powerful arms while he sobs like a f–king motherless child who lost his binky in a house fire.”

Reynolds concluded that he’d “drop everything to show up for this guy anytime or anywhere.”

The cast of “Deadpool & Wolverine” has clearly left a lasting impression on Reynolds, who has continually expressed his deep appreciation for the talent and dedication each actor brought to the film.
