As a seasoned movie buff with decades of watching superhero films under my belt, I must say that Chris Evans‘ cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine was nothing short of exhilarating! The man who once brought the wholesome Captain America to life surprised us all with his uncharacteristically raunchy lines as Johnny Storm.
Among the numerous unexpected appearances in the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine“, perhaps the most astonishing is that of Chris Evans, known for playing Human Torch. This isn’t just due to his physical presence but also because of Evans’ unusually explicit lines in the film, given his typically clean-cut roles. Interestingly, while Hugh Jackman required some visual prompts during filming, Chris Evans committed every line to memory. In the story, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) encounter an unexpected ally in the character played by Evans, Johnny Storm. The movie explains Johnny’s demise at the hands of Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin), a event that was not Deadpool’s doing. To clarify this, one of the film’s post-credit scenes features The Human Torch hurling a barrage of R-rated insults.
In an interview with People Magazine, Chris Evans talked about his short stint working on Deadpool and Wolverine, focusing on that end-credits scene. Evans mentioned that Ryan Reynolds provided him cue cards to help him follow along with his Canadian co-star’s rapid-fire, sarcastic humor. However, eager to let loose a barrage of insults at Cassandra Nova using colorful language, Chris Evans declined the use of cue cards and memorized the entire monologue instead. Evans explained:
Ryan said, “Look, if we require prompt cards…”, to which I replied, “Prompt cards? I’ll be memorizing my lines. I won’t be using scripts for this. Just trust me. I’m looking forward to every moment of it.”
How Chris Evans Was Cast in Deadpool & Wolverine
Chris Evans initially brought Johnny Storm/The Human Torch to life in the widely criticized Fantastic Four movie, released back in 2005. He later reprised the character in the even more criticized Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Following his casting as Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger and subsequently making the role iconic, it was thought unlikely that Evans would return to playing Johnny Storm.
In the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Chris Evans’ unexpected portrayal of Johnny Storm was one of the most jaw-dropping cameos. During a chat, Evans shared the story behind this stunning appearance. He explained that it started with a text from Ryan Reynolds. Previously, Evans had made a brief surprise appearance in one of Reynolds’ other films, “Free Guy.” The “Fantastic Four” actor expressed his willingness to go above and beyond for his new buddy. Evans stated, “I’d do anything for Ryan Reynolds.”
A few years back, I received a text from my pal Ryan [Reynolds]. He proposed something intriguing: “Hey, if this idea doesn’t float your boat, no sweat off me. But I’ve got an opportunity for you to revisit a character from your past that could potentially steal the show.” Given my history with Ryan – he gave me a fantastic cameo in Free Guy – and my full trust in his instincts, I was all ears. The chance to play Johnny once more was irresistible. It was a blast filming, a thrill watching it unfold, every moment of it.
