GQ recently caught up with Ryan Reynolds to talk to him about his film career, his personal life and more. During the interview Reynolds talked a little bit about “Deadpool” and why he feels the movie is coming along at the right time.
“It’s a genre. There are good horror movies and bad horror movies. There are good comedies and bad comedies. Think of it like that. Think of it less about just superheroes. I do believe that they explore similar archetypes a lot, so I think that notion can be somewhat fatiguing, maybe. I think one of the reasons that Deadpool has gained a lot of momentum isn’t just that it’s funny or isn’t just that it’s rated R. The meta aspect is very important. So I think Deadpool’s coming along at the right time, because it’s also speaking to that generation and that group of people that have seen them all, seen all these comic-book films and enjoyed them all to varying degrees of success. But I think it’s speaking to them as though the guy in that red suit is one of them, to some degree.”
Ryan also talks about the failed “Fantastic Four” reboot and more. You can check out the full interview here.
