Ryan Reynolds says “Marvel Jesus” line wasn’t a response to MCU struggles

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer and avid moviegoer, I’m thrilled to see the upcoming collaboration between Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The trailer has left me both amused and intrigued with Deadpool’s declaration of being the “Marvel Jesus,” an assertion that Ryan Reynolds clarified at a recent press conference.

As a gamer, I can tell you that during the unveiling of the Deadpool 3 trailer, Ryan Reynolds gave some background information on one of its humorous moments from his own perspective.

In an exciting turn of events, the actor behind Deadpool, once again graces the screens, reuniting with Hugh Jackman’s much-awaited return as Wolverine in the fittingly named film, “Deadpool and Wolverine.” This thrilling collaboration hits UK cinemas on July 25.

In the movie, Wade Wilson, portrayed by Reynolds, decides to put on the suit once more and resurrects his unconventional hero identity despite having retired. He manages to persuade an initially unwilling Wolverine to join him in a desperate bid to save their homeland.

At the movie trailer, Deadpool makes an amusing proclamation to a puzzled Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Paradox, jokingly referring to himself as “Marvel’s Jesus.” Reynolds explained the humor behind this statement during the film’s press conference, which was attended by Digital Spy.

He expressed his belief that luck played a significant role in their success with Deadpool 1. By being part of a shifting cultural trend at the perfect moment, they reaped great benefits.

“This movie seems to share some similarities with… I’m reminded of the witty, self-aware dialogue found in Deadpool, such as his humorous claims to being the messiah or a Marvel-inspired Jesus. These lines were penned prior to any in-depth examination of the larger narrative themes that could be at play within the media landscape.”

The actor appears to be commenting on the challenges currently facing the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as disappointing ticket sales and widespread criticism of being over-saturated with superhero stories.

The release date for Deadpool 3 has been pushed back in cinemas more than anticipated, owing to production setbacks caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike that occurred last year.

Filming for Deadpool 3 commenced in May of the previous year. However, production came to a halt in July due to the need to adhere to certain guidelines when the labor dispute was declared. Shortly following the resolution of the strike on November 7, filming recommenced.

Due to some unspecified reasons, Marvel has postponed the premiere of “Deadpool 3” from May to July 2024, leaving fans excitedly anticipating the release in just a few weeks.

In the United Kingdom, Deadpool and Wolverine hit the big screens on July 25. Meanwhile, in the United States, these movies become available in cinemas a day later on July 26. As for streaming options, both Deadpool and Deadpool 2 can be found on Disney+.
