Ryan Reynolds hints at Deadpool having a boyfriend
Ryan Reynolds has hinted that Deadpool could ditch his girlfriend for a man in future films.
We already know that Reynolds’ character is pansexual and now the actor has told Variety that his sexuality could well be explored in the sequels:
“What love is to Deadpool may not be what love is to Batman or someone else. I think that could be played up more. He’s an outsider in every way, shape, and form.” he said.
When asked about countries less tolerant of gay rights, Reynolds said:
“That’s not really a problem for us, because we were banned in China. We were rated ‘f**k you!’ in China.”
So Reynolds certainly seems up for the idea of Deadpool swinging the other way, but only if it fits in with the story:
“The only thing that you have to consider going forward is, ‘Are we being faithful to the canon that we nurtured and created?’
“One of those things is that Deadpool is in love with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). Deadpool isn’t in love with Vanessa just because she’s a woman. He’s in love with Vanessa because he loves her.”
Careful Vanessa, Deadpool may want a bromance soon!
Screenwriter Rhett Reese also gave his seal of approval:
“Most comic book heroes have been heterosexual or homosexual. We find that interesting and groundbreaking. I hope it can evolve into something a little more.”
Deadpool 2 is directed by David Leitch and hits theaters in March 2018.
