Ryan Reynolds dishes on Deadpool debut

After years of climbing the mountain all actors must scale, Ryan Reynolds is now living his dream. His debut in X-Men met with worldwide acclaim, he has a spinoff in motion and has total control, and just for good measure he’s now married to Scarlett Johansson.

Does life get better than this?

After his scenery-chewing star-turn in the Hugh Jackman smash, the Fox suits gave Ryan creative control, and he’s now hard at work making good on their trust. “I love it, because I get to be involved,” he told MTV. “And I’m such a huge fan of the character!”

The film still lacks a Director, or even a script, but the Vancouver-born Reynolds, 33, has assured all the nerds their patience will meet with reward. “The studio want to make an authentic ‘Deadpool’ movie; as close to the source as possible. And I get to be the authentication police,” he told the scribes with a grin.

The new movie is seen a showcase for ‘Deadpool,’ and meant to prove he’s ‘the merc with a mouth,’ or so Ryan says. “He’s going to have the scarred-up face and the suit, and it’s going to be incredible,” he explains, with that modest effacement so loved by the stars. “Now, it’s a question of figuring out the spine of the story; Who’s the villain? What does Deadpool want? We’re just trying to work that stuff out.”

Deadpool is due to land in mid-20011, but fans can see Ryan sooner in Sandra Bullock’s new Disney laugher, ‘The Proposal,’ which bows June 19.
