Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds Has Shocking Answer for Franchise Scene He’s Most Proud of

As a longtime fan and admirer of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I must say that Ryan Reynolds‘ choice to highlight the heartfelt Wolverine speech in Deadpool & Wolverine as his proudest writing achievement truly resonates with me. The scene showcases not only Hugh Jackman’s immense talent but also flips the script, giving us a glimpse of the usually taciturn Wolverine letting loose with words.


In an unanticipated disclosure that could catch the attention of fans from the witty superhero series, Ryan Reynolds picked a profoundly emotional scene in the collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine as his most cherished writing accomplishment. During his speech at Hamilton’s 13th annual Behind the Camera Awards, this versatile actor-screenwriter opted to focus on a subtler moment instead of famous one-liners.

According to Reynolds, as shared with Variety, what he’s particularly proud of is the Wolverine speech in the van where he lays into Deadpool. He finds it one of the most moving scenes in the movie because it showcases Hugh Jackman’s raw, powerful acting skills. Interestingly, this scene also flips roles as we see a typically silent character like Wolverine breaking his silence and engaging in a verbal duel with Deadpool, demonstrating that he too can hold his own in a conversation.

The revelation came during the exclusive ceremony at the Hollywood Athletic Club, where Reynolds accepted an award for best screenplay. The event celebrated various behind-the-scenes talents, with other honorees including Jon Batiste for musical composition and Gia Coppola for directorial achievement, according to Variety.

In his speech upon receiving the award, Reynolds highlighted the teamwork involved in creating the movie, saying, “It takes a multitude of people to make this film what it is today. This project has been infused with joy, emotion, warmth, heart, and all the things we cherish so deeply.” He jokingly noted, “I am extremely proud of this movie, not only due to its success at the box office, but that aspect doesn’t matter much. Unless you don’t pay attention to or care about box office figures, then I must tell you, it’s been exceptional.

The movie, representing Disney’s initial R-rated venture within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has managed to reach extraordinary commercial heights, earning approximately $1.3 billion globally. This impressive milestone was accomplished despite thorough discussions about content with Disney, including an instance where CEO Bob Iger personally asked for a particular line to be deleted.

During a September Q&A at the Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York (as reported by Deadline), Reynolds jokingly recounted his initial reluctance to heed editorial advice: “Whenever someone suggests, ‘Ryan, Bob Iger here. It would be great if you removed that one line. It’s causing us trouble.’ When they say that, a voice in my head shouts, ‘I must keep this line! It’s valuable!'” Nevertheless, he eventually agreed to the modification, humorously commenting, “Can I share a Pinocchio reference instead? And the answer is yes!

Despite certain concessions, Reynolds has shown appreciation for Disney’s strategy in preserving the franchise’s mature rating. He was even taken aback that they allowed a hard R rating, but expressed gratitude, stating, “There’s no other way to do it.” Indeed, the final product didn’t lose its edge, boasting 116 instances of the series’ favorite four-letter word in it.
