Ryan Reynolds Was ‘Blackmailed’ into Starring in X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Most fans will call out the X-Men Origins: Wolverine production team for what they have done to Wade Wilson. From giving him laser eyes and sword hands to sewing his mouth shut. Ryan Reynolds revealed that he was blackmailed into being in that stinker in the first place. The actor knew Origins’ Deadpool was the “wrong version” and even told the studio as much. Unbothered, Fox told him, “Play Deadpool in this movie, or we’ll get someone else to.” Feeling “a little blackmailed” but not wanting to lose the role altogether, Reynolds suffered, so he could later shoot the two movies that got it right.
