Ryan Reynolds Got Advice From Kevin Feige That 'Haunted' Him Through Deadpool And Wolverine's Production: 'That's Hard'

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I can confidently say that the latest blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine, was nothing short of spectacular. The advice from Kevin Feige to “make every scene great” may have given Ryan Reynolds and crew a bit of anxiety, but it undeniably paid off.


For over a decade, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been thriving, with the studio continually releasing fresh content in both cinemas and on Disney+. The most recent blockbuster to grace the big screen is Deadpool & Wolverine, which shattered box office records. Moreover, Ryan Reynolds received guidance from Kevin Feige that proved particularly influential during the production of Deadpool 3. Here’s a closer look at everything.

As a devoted Marvel fan, I couldn’t contain my excitement when Wade Wilson, a character I’d followed for years, finally stepped into the shared universe, accompanied by none other than Hugh Jackman’s iconic Wolverine. The highly anticipated third installment was a massive success, but throughout the filming process, advice from Kevin Feige echoed in my mind. At the Fast Company Innovation Festival, he shared his insights (as reported by Deadline).

He said something that sounds very pedantic and is probably not the thing to say out loud, but actually, weirdly, served as a creative engine. He was like, ‘Make every scene great.’ And I was like, ‘Thanks, Kev. Sounds good.’

Despite its apparent simplicity, the task was nerve-wracking for Reynolds and his team. Following the advice, they strived to be meticulous with every detail in the Deadpool & Wolverine production, aiming to make each scene exceptional. I’d argue he accomplished this goal, but it certainly didn’t come without a significant amount of effort.

Ultimately, Deadpool 3 proved to be a resounding success both critically and financially, outshining recent flops such as The Marvels and Ant-Man 3. Its impressive performance has led many fans to speculate that it will shape future Marvel films, possibly bringing back Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds for major crossover events like Avengers: Doomsday.

During the same talk, Reynolds revealed his thoughts on Feige’s remarks concerning Deadpool and Wolverine. In his own words:

[His words] haunted me. ‘Make it great’ – that’s hard.

Fortunately, Shawn Levy and the team behind Deadpool 3 were able to achieve just what was needed, and the film has become one of the most successful Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies in years to grace the big screen. It’s possible that Feige’s thoughtful warning served as inspiration for the crew, a motivation that seemed to bear fruit.

In the duration of Deadpool 3, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s playful rivalry was evident, and their interaction sparkled tremendously. Not only did we witness the titular characters exchanging witty remarks and physical blows, but the narrative also offered a heartfelt tale. Despite their initial differences, these two characters managed to forge a connection, banding together for the climactic battle, as well as safeguarding the multiverse by being prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. Fortunately, they emerged victorious, and it will be intriguing to watch where they appear next within the MCU.

Fans are eagerly anticipating another major team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine, akin to Avengers: Doomsday, yet the studio remains secretive about its plans. We’ll simply have to wait and see if their next project will live up to the excitement with fantastic scenes.

Here’s a possible way of paraphrasing that sentence in natural and easy-to-read language: The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film set to hit theaters is “Captain America: New World Order,” premiering on February 14th. In the meantime, take a look at the 2025 movie release schedule.
