To make sure Deadpool was the hit that it was, its star, Ryan Reynolds, went above and beyond. Several times, he dipped into his own pocket to make sure the financial constraints 20th Century Fox placed upon production didn’t interfere with his and director Tim Miller’s vision. As an example: Reynolds shelled out $10k just so that Wade Wilson can wear a t-shirt with an image of Golden Girls star Bea Arthur, an actress Deadpool obsessively fawns over in the comic books, in the hilarious pizza delivery sequence.
On Sunday, during the latest episode of AMC’s Geeking Out, another example of Reynolds ensuring the quality of the film with his own money was provided by its screenwriters. “We were on set every day,” said Paul Wernick And Rhett Rheese, who are penning Deadpool 2. “Interestingly, Ryan wanted us there, we were on the project for six years. It was really a core creative team of us, Ryan, and the director Tim Miller. Fox interestingly wouldn’t pay for us to be on set. Ryan Reynolds paid out of his own money, out of his own pocket.”

Me playing Pokemon Go: Then I threw a Pokeball. And then I missed. And then I threw another one. And then another, and I missed. I missed both times. and then I threw one more, and I missed. This went on for several hours. and then I tossed another. and then I missed. And then I was out of pokeballs. And then I got sad. I went to a Poke-stop. And then I passed out in the snow. And then I woke up. and then I got more Pokeballs. And then I threw one. And then I missed. I missed again. I threw another. I hit something, but it wasn’t what I was going for, so I guess I missed. I passed out again. Went to another Poke-stop. I had a dream that I was throwing pokeballs at something. I missed. Oh, so she can pick a snowball fight with ‘em. I threw up a snowball at ‘em. I missed. I packed another snowball into my Pokeball. that’s my secret weapon. I missed. yeah, she’s really something. I threw a Pokeball at her. I missed. I passed out. I woke up with a Pokeball stuck in my mouth. don’t piss me off woman. I’ll throw a Pokeball at you, I’ll miss though. I guarantee it. Then I’ll throw another one. And I’ll miss. Then I’ll have myself some incense. Would you care for some incense? Just don’t bring it into the sauna. I reached into the Poke-stop for another incense. I missed. I got a Pokeball. I put it back, but I missed. I dropped it on the floor. Long story short, I missed.
