Ryan Reynolds managed to secure the biggest cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine with this single text message

Major spoiler incoming...

Ryan Reynolds has long been known as the quick-witted, fast talking quippy guy in his films but it seems he channels that same energy in real life.

Ryan Reynolds latest outing as Deadpool in the anti-hero's third film, Deadpool & Wolverine, has been adored with fans and it makes sense with so much fan service.

How does that fan service manifest itself? In cameo after cameo after cameo.

Something most people have come to expect with superhero films of recent years to be honest but for the fourth wall breaking, foul mouthed, mercenary it really does seem to work.

One of the fan favourite cameos from the film was the inclusion of Chris Evans.

Now of course if you have paid even the slightest attention to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Evans IS Captain America. I mean the actor has played him in enough films for over a decade so yeah... get that man a shield and call him cap.

However, a joke in the Deadpool film showed Evans reprising another hero he had previously played, Johnny Storm a.k.a the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four.

Evans has since come out and said that he really didn’t take much convincing and he was happy to do reprise his role from the 2005 film and its 2007 sequel after a quick few words from Reynolds over text.

Speaking about it, Evans said: "I was so excited. [...] Ryan's a buddy. [...] He just shot me a text saying, 'Listen, might be a long shot, but would you have any interest in reprising something from 20 years ago?'

“I said, 'Oh my God! Of course.' Honestly, Ryan might be the only guy that I would've done it for because he's just got the Midas touch.”

He continued: “His self-awareness makes him almost invincible. He makes the joke before the audience gets a chance to make the joke. So if you're going to revisit a character, and you have to find a way to make it work, Ryan's humour makes just about everything work."

Evans added that Reynolds sarcastic sense of humour allows the actors to riff about their careers without fear of repercussions.

Reynolds isn’t shy about doing this with his own career as well as the first Deadpool spends much of its time ridiculing the Green Lantern film he starred in. And to be honest, the less said about that film the better.
