Ryan Reynolds On Balancing Critical Acclaim And Audience Approval
During his Actors on Actors conversation with Andrew Garfield, Reynolds spoke at length about the character and the process of filming Deadpool & Wolverine. He stated that he spent a big part of his career doing roles that were fulfilling as an actor. Calling the parts “nuanced, different, unexpected and character”, he mentioned how they were well-received by critics.
He added that regardless of the critical acclaim, those weren’t the movies the audience liked. Reynolds continued that he thought he needed to figure out a way to work both sides instead of just one. The Green Lantern actor wanted to make sure that his choices gave him both kinds of experience: the approval of critics and the love of the audience.
