Ryan Reynolds Dishes On 'Surprises' In 'Deadpool & Wolverine'

Ryan Reynolds will return as Deadpool in the upcoming MCU film, "Deadpool & Wolverine." He will be joined by Hugh Jackman, who will reprise his role as Wolverine.

Ahead of the world premiere of his new movie, Ryan Reynolds appeared on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon," where he shared what fans can expect from the new Marvel movie.

On Monday, July 22, the actor chatted with the late-night talk show host regarding the rumors that Taylor Swift is Lady Deadpool.

"We don't really have cameos as much as surprise," Reynolds revealed as Jimmy Fallon gave him a look. "It's true," the actor added. "No, it's true."

The late-night talk show host then mumbled, "Taylor Swift," trying to squeeze the juicy details from Reynolds. After much laughter, the "The Proposal" actor shut down the rumors.  "I wish. Taylor, you know, if I ever stop - she'd make a good Deadpool," he said. "She's funny, funny, funny!"

"But are there cameos?" Fallon asked, to which Reynolds reiterated, "There are surprises."

"I would say that the folks that do show up in the movie that somehow--I have no idea how we've managed to keep it secret given the internet and all this stuff because somehow it hasn't come out," he continued. "I would say that they're more surprises because they have beginnings, middles, and ends. It's not just like, 'Hey, there's the person,' and we move on. They're there for a reason."

While on the red carpet, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman spoke to People Magazine about bringing their children to the set of an MCU film. Reynolds, who shares four children with wife Blake Lively—James, Inez, Betty, and Olin—discussed the unique experience.

Jackman, who shares son Oscar and daughter Ava with Deborra-Lee, also reflected on the joys and challenges of having his children visit the set, especially following his separation from Deborra-Lee last fall.

"I don't profess that my kids are perfectly behaved," the "Free Guy" actor said, joking with People. "My four-year-old Betty sort of loves Hugh, like unconditionally," he confessed as Jackman chuckled. "And she expresses that love through unblinking violence. So she attacks him, thinking she has claws and he has a healing factor — which he might."

One of the biggest moments from the "Deadpool & Wolverine" world premiere is when Reynolds revealed the name of his and Lively's fourth child.

"I am so eternally grateful to those people, many of whom are sitting in this room or standing here on the stage," he said. "And I just wanna start by saying thank you to my wife, Blake, who's here. Her outfit is amazing, spoiler alert. I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, and Olin."

"You know, if I'm lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing that is in the contents of this movie that happens in your wondrous life. But I love that my entire family is here," Reynolds then gushed.

On July 19, the MCU star spoke with SiriusXM's Town Hall in New York, where he mentioned Taylor Swift's cats making a cameo on one of his character's shirts in the 2018 film "Deadpool 2."

“Yes, I had a T-shirt made. Yes, of [Swift’s cats] Meredith and Olivia on Wade’s shirt,” Reynolds explained, per People. “Yeah, you know, just little details, that’s all.”

To which radio host Jess Cagle asked, “Now, when you put her cats on a T-shirt, did you have to call her and get permission?" Reynolds then responded, "No, I was sued. I lost everything in that one and getting sued by a friend is tough to swallow."

He continued joking, "Also, she has just a lot of very, very powerful lawyers. I found out later those are just the paralegals. The real lawyers didn’t even bother with it."

"But ... I would never do such a thing," Reynolds then said more seriously.

According to E! News, Ryan Reynolds appeared on "Late Show with David Letterman" in 2015 where he gushed about his marriage to Blake Lively and his daughter.

"'I would take a bullet for you. I could never love anything as much as I love you.' I would say that to my wife," he said. "And the second I looked in that baby's eyes, I knew in that exact moment that if we were ever under attack, I would use my wife as a human shield to protect that baby."

Reynolds and Lively have gone on to have three more children together.

Directed by Shawn Levy, the highly anticipated "Deadpool & Wolverine" film will be released on July 26, 2024.
