Deadpool was always one of my favorite characters because of the way he handles all kinds of situations. His style and humor make him the perfect antihero.
'Deadpool' was 'Alien.' It's brilliant. It completely works. It's a masterpiece. 'Deadpool 2' is 'Aliens.'
'Goon' is very much an action - it's got a lot of heart, it's got a lot of comedy, it's got a lot of similarities to what I think was successful in 'Deadpool,' and so I think it's not a stretch to compare those two things and say the world is a little more ready than they used to be for this kind of material.
I think in the 'Deadpool' franchise, the writers are really good at distilling the good stuff and applying that to the material in this universe.
If you spend 90 seconds with Ryan Reynolds, you know he's Deadpool. There is no one else on the planet that has any business being that character, ever.
Deadpool exploded for the youth around 2010 with 'Marvel vs. Capcom.' He was the most popular character. He does kicks, then mocks you as he hits you and dances around you when you hit the ground.
Unapologetically, absent me, there is no Deadpool. Period. I am the name, the costume, the look, the origin, and the attitude. Great one-liners are the result of other writers. But there's no Deadpool at all in existence without me.
That's the charm of Deadpool. He's charmingly annoying, and he'll be the first to admit that.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' is tongue-in-cheek and has a sense of humor about itself. But it's nothing like 'Deadpool.' 'Deadpool' is this super-bizarre thing. The best thing about it is that it's R-rated.
The stuff we're seeing in 'Deadpool' and 'Harley Quinn' now, Plastic Man was doing in the 1940s. It's a character that was ahead of its time back then and the stories are still funny and still relevant.
Well, I haven't done that many movies, but the best one was 'Being John Malkovich.'
The completely irreverent tone was the thing that won me over about the first 'Deadpool' movie.
The DNA of 'Deadpool' shouldn't change.
Deadpool was introduced as a mercenary and a bounty hunter... because I was so crazy for Boba Fett when I was a kid.
Basically, if you like 'Deadpool,' you'll love 'Captain Underpants.'
Dan Harmon has this idea that characters on TV are allowed to talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and songs.
I truly believe there's all the Deadpools that have existed, and there's Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool, who is now the Deadpool for the world. He owns that voice.
Deadpool is a hero that you want to love.
Acting in 'Command & Conquer 3' called for me to interact with the player and to look directly into the camera, which is a big no no when filming for TV or film.
I make cameos in all my movies for no particular reason other than a joke. It's just a Hitchcock thing.
A lot of superheroes today are a little self-righteous, and what's cool about 'Deadpool' is that he seems like a guy that you could meet at the 7-Eleven down the street.
Writing 'Deadpool' can be a lot of fun. When I first started working with the character, I wasn't sure I'd like him. I quickly realized, though, that a writer can do pretty much anything with him - comedic stories, serious stories, completely nonsensical stories.
I really loved Andy Kaufman growing up, like every comedy person does. I like when sometimes the audience isn't quite sure what's supposed to be happening right then and that sort of unsafe feeling, as long as you're not punishing them.
Deadpool's' probably pretty proud of his comic book hero physique.
Deadpool would have been an amazing character to play, but Ryan Reynolds already did that.
