Many people may not know that Ryan Reynolds put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes in the early stages of the production of this series of movies. While one might think that superhero movies had adequate budgets back then (2016), 20th Century Fox producers clearly didn’t have much confidence in the profitability of the first Deadpool, so they tightened the budget.

It’s It was a core creative team of us, Ryan and director Tim Miller. The funny thing is, Fox didn’t want to pay us, and Ryan Reynolds paid for it out of his own pocket.”
