As a die-hard fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a connoisseur of pop culture references, I can wholeheartedly say that the latest addition to the franchise, Deadpool & Wolverine, has been nothing short of a delightful rollercoaster ride. The movie not only brought together two iconic characters but also showcased the incredible creative synergy between Ryan Reynolds and his better half, Blake Lively.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand by means of cinema releases and series accessible through a Disney+ subscription. Following some past monetary mishaps, the studio has struck gold again with “Deadpool & Wolverine“, which is shattering box office records. This franchise marked the shared universe’s debut of an R-rated project, and Ryan Reynolds’ iconic character was long-awaitedly incorporated into the MCU. Known for its humor, Reynolds attributes his “secret weapon”, Blake Lively, as the reason behind the third installment’s contemporary references popular among millennials.
The dynamic between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds is often seen as a model for romantic relationships, with each one cheering the other on and occasionally poking fun at each other online. Fans who followed the Marvel series over the years questioned how Deadpool (Wade Wilson) would be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it proved to be successful. During an interview on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, Reynolds acknowledged his wife’s role in contributing ideas for some of the film’s jokes, and he mentioned that several jokes were tailored specifically for millennials.
Uh, yes, yes, yes. A lot of which are secret weapon Blake Lively.
On more than one occasion, the actor known for Waiting has paid tribute to his well-known spouse in a subtle way. In fact, as recently as 2021, Reynolds confessed that Lively plays a significant role in scriptwriting for his films, often unofficially so. Moreover, the third movie of this kind features numerous references appealing to millennials, such as its soundtrack which includes Avril Lavigne’s “I’m With You.”
Besides assisting Ryan Reynolds in scriptwriting and lending her voice to Lady Deadpool (a role initially debated for Taylor Swift), Lively was also involved in the film, as revealed during a podcast interview by Reynolds. He further discussed how Lively played significant roles in shaping moments from the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
In my gaming world, it feels like I’ve found a secret power-up from the 90s, with a dash of the 80s and a sprinkle of the aughts too! These decades just seem to radiate an uncontainable joy that I can’t help but love. You know, there’s such a striking intersection between happiness and pop culture during those times. I’ve learned quite a bit from Blake, she’s like my ultimate guide. When I find myself in need of a particular level boost, I say, “I need this vibe,” and she replies, “Try Avril Lavigne, trust me, you’ll dominate!” And every time, she’s spot on.
The Deadpool series is recognized for its humorously satirizing the superhero genre and incorporating numerous pop culture nods. Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that Blake Lively contributed to the millennial-targeted jokes, yet he also openly expresses his own fondness for them. In an interview with podcast host Amanda Hirsch, he shared:
Oh dear, at my core, I’m quite the Millennial woman. It seems we express our affection in a unique and special way, don’t we?
It now seems quite fitting that the movie featuring Deadpool and Wolverine begins with Wade Wilson dancing to “Bye Bye Bye” by *NSYNC. The fact that Reynolds and Lively embrace millennial culture so passionately is likely one of many factors they use to keep each other amused, especially during demanding situations like a Deadpool production set.
