Ryan Reynolds is one of the finest actors in Hollywood and has been applauded for his work as the ‘merc with a mouth’ in the Deadpool movies. While the audience really loved his appearance in Marvel, he will soon join forces with Hugh Jackman in the upcoming Deadpool 3 movie. However, it would be hard to believe that any other actor was approached to play the titular character.
Not many would know, but an actor from the superhit series, The Boys, was approached first for the role. While the Prime Videos series is a parody of superhero movies itself, it would have been amazing how things would have rolled out. Read on to find out more about the actor who did not play the role which ultimately went to Ryan Reynolds.
Ever Since Ryan Reynolds appeared as the ‘Merc with a Mouth’ back in 2009 with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, many began to doubt his character as well as his performance. While there was not much for the actor, his comeback in 2016’s Deadpool cemented the actor in the role and made him synonymous with the anti-hero mutant. To everyone’s surprise, The Boys’ Soldier Boy, a parody of Captain America actor Jensen Ackles, was approached first for the role.
