He began: “We’re very excited to be joining you on 26 July. Many of you are very excited. But we should set the table correctly.
“This film is as paper thin as a sequel to Battlefield Earth. We’re mostly going to beat each other senseless, make enemies with Disney, tell a few dick jokes, make a few jokes at my expense, make a lot of jokes at Hugh’s expense, and completely sidestep Marvel’s mandated after-credits sequence, which if you haven’t figured it out yet, is always just a commercial for another movie which will invariably end with a commercial for another movie.”
Hugh Jackman reprises his role from the X-Men films in Deadpool & WolverineRyan then urged fans to “sit back, relax” and “let us lower your IQ and raise your heart rate while we travel to a vapid Dreamland, a place where grown men and grown women walk around in tights, and act like it’s not a giant cultural cry for help”.
“This is cinema,” he concluded.
With a string of F-bombs in the first Deadpool & Wolverine trailer alone, Ryan has recently spoken about his excitement for some of the film’s more explicit content.
“I hope it doesn’t sound condescending, I’m really proud of [Disney] for doing this. I think it’s a huge step for them,” he told Fandango.
“I mean, it adds a whole other colour to this kaleidoscopic wheel that is that company and the different people that they have been entertaining forever. I was surprised though, that they let us go as ‘hard R [rating]’, but very grateful. I mean there’s no other way to do it.”
