What they’re saying:
- Hugh Jackman: “The thing I've learned from Ryan is that anticipation of these two characters within this universe: The moment Deadpool came out, I was just bombarded with, 'When is this movie happening?! It's got to happen! There is also the zeitgeist of [Deadpool and Wolverine] that exists. The actual onscreen story has to deliver in deeper, wider, more fulfilling ways than what you can imagine."
- Shawn Levy: “In some ways, the movie is about these legacies. That acknowledgment of legacy informs the themes and story itself within the movie.”
- Ryan Reynolds: “I didn't know if I'd ever be playing Deadpool again. It's not something I would've said necessarily publicly, but I didn't know how a character like that would fit into that world [of the MCU].”
- Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige: “I don't want to get into corporate acquisition legal laws or whatever. I don't understand them, but there's a lot of 'em.It took a long time between whenever [the acquisition] was announced to it all getting done, so [the characters] weren't really in our sandbox for a very long time after that first announcement happened. The notion that, all these years later, we're in a world where [Jackman] is Wolverine, and Deadpool and all of those X-Men characters are together under the same roof, is a pretty amazing quarter-of-a-century experience.”
