The Surprising Reason Behind Ryan Reynolds' Inability to Improv in Deadpool 3
Deadpool 3 faces a new challenge as Ryan Reynolds struggles to improvise lines during filming Comic book creator offers a potential solution
Rob Liefeld, the co-creator of the Deadpool comic book, has proposed a solution for Ryan Reynolds' inability to improvise during the filming of Deadpool 3. The movie is a significant undertaking, being the first set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the Fox X-Men hero, with a star-studded cast including Reynolds, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and returning characters from the previous two Deadpool movies. However, production has hit a snag, potentially putting the film's storyline in jeopardy. But Liefeld believes there is a way to work around this obstacle.
As Reynolds spends the majority of the film wearing a mask, Liefeld suggests utilizing the Additional Dialog Replacement (ADR) process to allow the actor to improvise lines that may not have been possible during production. This approach appears to be an ideal solution.
Why Ryan Reynolds Cannot Improv Lines During Deadpool 3 Filming
Due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, Reynolds is not permitted to improvise any lines for the movie. The strike primarily aims to improve the working conditions of writers, with a particular focus on new streaming residuals rules and preventing the use of AI to replace writers on scripts. As one of the writers for Deadpool 3, any attempt by Reynolds to improvise lines would be a violation of the strike's regulations.
Reynolds' signature humor has played a pivotal role in the success of the Deadpool franchise, making it a perfect match for the character's personality. With his spontaneity during filming being one of the key factors behind some of the funniest moments in the previous movies, it's a shame that Deadpool 3 won't feature this aspect. However, there is hope that Liefeld's suggestion can be utilized, as Reynolds has previously demonstrated his ability to write and update the movie during post-production. With the use of the full body suit and editing techniques, Reynolds can still inject his humor into the movie and create some exciting jokes even after the WGA strike is over.
