The only superhero who said no to Ryan Reynolds

Hugh Jackman It was just the beginning. As we have seen in Deadpool and Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds has pulled out all the stops to sign all the actors who have ever played superheroes of Marvel, preferably under the seal of the deceased Fox.

Of Wesley Snipes as Elektra a Wesley Snipes reviving to Blade, passing by Chris Evans like the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four and Channing Tatum finally wearing the uniform of Gambit, It seems that the actor and screenwriter has gathered all the possible faces. But, as he himself reveals in Collider (via IndieWire), there was one card missing to complete the collection… and this was the most delicious of all.

Why didn’t we see this cameo?

Added to the success of Longlegs, the appearance of ‘Nic’ in Deadpool and Wolverine It would have been the icing on the cake for the actor Leaving Las Vegas will have a great summer. Did Ryan Reynolds forget to count on him, or is it that he didn’t have her number in his address book?

Well, neither one thing nor the other: when Collider asks him if he contacted Nicolas Cage, Reynolds answers with a brief “Yes, and we had a conversation, but it was not possible.”

How could a marvel zombie The fact that Cage would turn down this offer is a bit of a mystery, especially given the director’s words. Shawn Levy, who claims that he and Ryan Reynolds came to manage a list of up to 70 names to include them in Deadpool and Wolverine. Among which, by the way, was also Ben Affleck as Daredevil.

“We contact everyone who appears in the tribute to Fox “that you see in the end credits,” Levy notes. The director also indicates that he and Reynolds approached all the actors personally, “without agents and without lawyers”: “We asked them and, invariably, they all said ‘yes,'” he says. But that ‘yes,’ as we see now, was not so unanimous.
