Ryan Reynolds Pays Tribute to DEADPOOL and Fox’s “Weird” and “Risky” Marvel Universe — GeekTyrant

As Deadpool & Wolverine continues its wildly successful box office run, Ryan Reynolds pays tribute to Deadpool and Fox’s “weird” and “risky” Marvel universe, which he is grateful for.

Reynolds said: “This isn’t just Deadpool saying ‘Oh, Hello’ to the MCU. It’s Deadpool – and Hugh, Shawn and me – saying farewell to a place and an era that literally made us.

“We are forever grateful to the fun, weird, uneven and risky world of 20th Century Fox. It was our origin story and we wouldn’t trade it for anything. And thank you to Kevin Feige and Disney for allowing us to share it.”

The movie is definitely a love letter to Fox’s X-Men universe, I just thought for sure there would be more cameos than what we got. Don’t get me wrong, the movie was great and I loved what it delivered, I just thought we’d see more of the original X-Men characters in it.

Deadpool & Wolverine is now the 6th biggest opening at the domestic box office with $211 million. It also broke the record for an R-rated movie’s first weekend.

The film has grossed a total $444.3 million globally after three days of release, and it’s on its way to making over a billion dollars.
