Ryan Reynolds is known for his sarcastic and self-deprecating humor, especially when it comes to his career in superhero movies. His role as Deadpool has been a major success, with both Deadpool and Deadpool 2 being box office hits. However, Reynolds has also had some major misses in the genre, including Green Lantern and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine was Reynolds’ first appearance as Wade Wilson, a character he would eventually play in the Deadpool movies. However, the version of Deadpool in the 2009 movie was drastically different from the one audiences now adore. He had a sewn-up mouth and did not speak, despite Deadpool being known as the “Merc with a Mouth.”
In a recent interview with Variety, Reynolds expressed his strong feelings towards X-Men Origins: Wolverine, calling it “an absolute trash fire.” He placed the blame on his co-star, Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine in the movie. Reynolds said, “Everyone’s expecting me to eviscerate Hugh Jackman but I will say he was one of the first movie stars I ever worked with, back in 2007, on an absolute trash fire called ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ — that one was on him.”
Despite his distaste for the movie, Reynolds spoke highly of Jackman’s kindness on set, saying that he treated everyone the same, from the caterer to the head of the studio. Reynolds even credited Jackman for inspiring better behavior among people in the entertainment industry.
However, Reynolds couldn’t resist throwing in one more jab at Jackman, saying, “Also fuck that guy.” This is not the first time Reynolds has made clear his dislike for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In a post-credit scene in Deadpool 2, Reynolds appeared to kill his speechless counterpart, further cementing his disdain for the character.
With Jackman confirmed to appear in Deadpool 3, it’s likely that more jokes about X-Men Origins: Wolverine will make their way into the upcoming movie. The Deadpool franchise is known for its self-aware humor and ability to poke fun at itself and the genre. X-Men Origins: Wolverine has already been the butt of a Deadpool joke, and it’s likely that it won’t be immune to Reynolds’ and Wade’s shared affectionate “Fuck Him” sentiment toward Jackman and Wolverine.
In conclusion, Ryan Reynolds’ opinion on X-Men Origins: Wolverine is clear: he thinks it’s “an absolute trash fire.” While he has praise for his co-star Hugh Jackman’s behavior on set, Reynolds can’t help but take a few jabs at him. It remains to be seen how much X-Men Origins: Wolverine will be lampooned in Deadpool 3, but it’s clear that Reynolds’ dislike for the movie won’t be going away anytime soon.
