Ryan Reynolds Clears Up 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' Re-Shoots Speculation

Ryan Reynolds has used the "Adventureland" junket on Saturday, March 14, to give out clarification about the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" re-shoots rumor. To Latino Review, the 32-year-old explained on what is really going on behind the so-called "extensive" re-shooting for the action movie toplined by Hugh Jackman.

"A lot of people thought that, but when they approached me to play Deadpool, I was committed to doing two other movies," he explained on the reason why there should be additional shooting in the first place. "A movie called Paper Man, which was a small independent movie in New York City. And they were shooting Wolverine in Australia, so that made things a little bit difficult. And The Proposal, so I had a full plate already."

The star of "Definitely, Maybe" further stressed, "So the idea was to shoot the Deadpool stuff after principal photography had finished. So in effect, they weren't really reshoots, they were just additional shots." He then added on what were required to be shot, "Scenes we needed to pick up. They didn't add really anything beyond the script."

Asked whether he would like his character to get a spin-off, Reynolds commented, "Ya, I love the character. I've always loved the character." He furthermore gushed, "I remember reading one of the Deadpool comic books, and somebody asked Deadpool what he looks like. And he said he looks like a cross between a Shar-Pei and Ryan Reynolds. And I was like, I really, really wanna play this guy at some point. I thought it was pretty cool. It's a guy that knows he's in a comic book. How hard is it to shoot that properly? That's not something they put in Wolverine nor would it belong in that universe."

The husband of actress Scarlett Johansson, in addition, let it slip on what to be expected from his character in "Wolverine". "Well, it's an origin story, so again I don't consider myself playing Deadpool," he explained on the fact the movie will explore the reason Deadpool wears the mask, "I'm the thing that will eventually become Deadpool. But ya, he's scarred up. You're gonna see the scars. That's all in there."
