Ryan Reynolds recently revealed that he doesn’t fully endorse parents showing their kids the R-rated film ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ However, he shared that he personally showed the movie to his 9-year-old son and his mother in her late 70s, and they both enjoyed it. Reynolds explained that watching rated-R movies as a kid left a huge impression on him and inspired him in his career. His love for the character Deadpool began long before he played him on screen, and he was determined to set the character apart with a rougher and more obscene edge.
Reynolds admitted that he initially had doubts about the success of ‘Deadpool’ but bet on himself and the team around him. When the film finally got the green light, he went the extra mile by using his salary to ensure that his co-writers could be on set. After the overwhelming success of ‘Deadpool,’ Reynolds faced backlash for showing the film to younger audiences, but he stands by his decision. Despite the controversy, he believes in the importance of authentic storytelling and pushing boundaries in the superhero genre.
