The first standalone Deadpool film only hit the big screen in 2016, but the self-proclaimed Marvel Jesus celebrated his big screen debut several years earlier in X‑Men Origins: Wolverine. Ryan Reynolds was anything but enthusiastic about his Deadpool debut.
Ryan Reynolds calls X‑Men Origins: Wolverine absolute garbage
Although production of the Deadpool film was in jeopardy several times, the final product emerged as a breakthrough success in 2016. The satirical action film captivated the masses – not least because of Ryan Reynolds, who visibly felt comfortable in the role of the brutal and sarcastic anti-hero.

But a few years ago things looked completely different. Because of his first appearance as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine Reynolds apparently remembers it reluctantly. In an interview with Variety about Deadpool 3, he describes the film as absolute garbage:
“Everyone expects me to eviscerate Hugh Jackman, but I will say that he was one of the first movie stars I ever worked with, back in 2007 on 'X-Men Origins Wolverine,' which was absolute garbage – That was on his account.”
X-Men Origins: Wolverine also went down anything but well with the fans. Would you like a little reminder? Just look at the trailer again:
When is Deadpool 3 coming?
Fortunately Hardly anyone remembers Deadpool from X-Men Origins: Wolverine these dayswhich is probably mainly due to the fact that Deadpool and Deadpool 2 excited the fans much more.

And fans don't have to worry that Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool era is already over. Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled to open in German cinemas in July 2024 (Source: kino.de). This part is also likely to be aimed primarily at adults, as the film is expected to receive an R rating in the USA – in this country, fans can expect an FSK rating for those aged 16 and over.
