In "Deadpool & Wolverine," Deadpool and Wolverine from the "X-Men" universe burst into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many dream collaborations based on the multiverse were realized, but it seems that there was a lot of trial and error in the preparation process. Ryan Reynolds, who starred in the role of Deadpool/Wade Wilson and also served as producer, talked about the fantastic ideas he had until the story was completed in a project for Variety. It is known that the direction of the story of "Deadpool & Wolverine" was largely determined by Hugh Jackman, who had graduated from the role of Wolverine, approving the reprise of the role.
According to Reynolds, he had been proposing various ideas to Kevin Feige of Marvel Studios for about a year and a half until Jackman's return was officially decided. "One was a Sundance film with no special effects or conflicts. I also proposed a two-person play between myself and the hunter who shot Bambi's mother. He replied, 'Ryan, we're not doing Bambi,'" Reynolds said recently. Reynolds has previously said that he was thinking of a small-scale story with a budget of less than $10 million that could be submitted to the Sundance Film Festival, a famous gateway to indie films.
Reynolds also wrote on social media during pre-production about the "Bambi" story, "The first thing we need to address: finding the killer of Bambi's mother." It didn't make sense at the time, but it seems that Reynolds was considering a story in which Deadpool finds the hunter who killed Bambi's mother as one of his ideas. It doesn't make sense now, even when I think about it now. After Wolverine's appearance was decided, he also proposed a Rashomon-style story in which Deadpool and Wolverine tackle the same event from their own perspectives, but this was also rejected by Feige.
In the end, the story was about Deadpool and Wolverine fighting while exploring the world of nothingness to prevent the collapse of the world, and this led to a huge hit, grossing over $1.3 billion worldwide. It put a stop to the decline in the popularity of Marvel movies. "You have to look confident, even if it's a lie until you make it happen," Reynolds said, talking about the lesson he learned from completing a reckless project. "Life isn't a TED Talk. You have to go in without a second thought."
