Ryan Reynolds has revealed that he feels more free when playing Deadpool than any other character. He said he felt depressed walking off the film sets of Deadpool and Wolverine as he enjoys the role so much.
The 47- year-old If star returned as the foul-mouthed, anti-hero Deadpool for the upcoming collaboration film, which sees Hugh Jackman reprise his role as the almost indestructible Wolverine.
It is the third film centred on the Marvel character Deadpool, following the success of the 2016 original and the sequel in 2018.
The Change Up star said "Deadpool is one of those characters who’s very unpredictable.
"I don’t know if I could speak specifically to that style, other than to say that I feel more free when I play the character than almost anything else in the world.
"I recognise how rare that air is to breathe. And on our last day of shooting, I don’t think I’ve ever been more sad or depressed to be walking off of a film set every day."
Hugh Jackman has promised that the upcoming film will solve some unanswered aspects of his character’s story, saying: "For me, having played this character for 24 years, there’s whole sides of Wolverine you’ve never seen before in this movie.
"These guys wrote it so beautifully and carefully. And I can tell you, fans are going to dig it.
"There’s some stuff I’ve been scratching around for a long time to try and solve, and we solve it here."
After last fully portraying the character in the third Wolverine film, Logan, Jackman said he did not realise how hard it would be physically to return to the role, but that it was "absolutely worth it".
He said: "I really thought I was done. And then when I saw Deadpool one, I was like 'Hmm hang on a sec’.
"And then five or six years later, I was driving and I just knew in my bones I wanted to do that. I knew for fans it would be the thing they’ve waited for. I knew it’d be a dynamic that we’d never seen before.
"I had no idea how hard it would be, physically, at age 55 to do it but it’s absolutely worth it. I loved it every second."
Deadpool & Wolverine will be available in cinemas from July 25.
