From the DC superhero named Green Lantern, the popular Pokemon, Pikachu, to the hilarious Marvel antihero named Deadpool. He is rumored to be appearing in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) as Deadpool in Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness.

He entertained a lot of people with his acting and comedic timing, making Ryan Reynolds very popular. Curious about the actor who is synonymous with Deadpool? Let's look at 10 interesting facts about Ryan Reynolds!

1. Before Deadpool, Ryan Reynold Played as a Lucky Creature

Ryan Reynolds plays a lucky creature or some kind of leprechaun in Mississippi Grind. Mississippi Grind is a film that tells the story of a man with a gambling addiction, who meets a man who seems to bring him endless luck. The film was produced independently although Reynolds starred alongside other well-known artists such as Ben Mendelsohn. Many people love this brilliant film packed with social satire and clever symbolism.

2. Reynolds Never Knew About Deadpool Until His Friend Told Him About It

Before being given a suggestion from his friend that Ryan Reynolds was perfect to play the character of Deadpool, Reynolds never knew who the anti-hero was.

After getting advice from a friend, Reynolds went to the nearest comic book store and checked out a pile of Deadpool comics. He immediately fell in love with the character and that's how Reynolds was introduced to Deadpool. Reynolds' compatibility with that character makes it hard to imagine if Deadpool is played by another actor.

3. Deadpool Might Never Happen in the Test Footage is Not Leaked

Deadpool isn't the most popular character in the comic book world. When compared to Spider-Man and Superman, Deadpool was very far behind in terms of popularity at first. Because of that, the Deadpool movie seems like a dream. But everything changed when one of the crew members secretly leaked some Deadpool test footage to the public.

The leak made Marvel fans immediately plead with the studio that worked on Deadpool to release the feature film. Fortunately, the fans' wishes were granted. Because of the film, Deadpool is now a popular character like Spider-Man and Superman. Ryan Reynolds who played him also became increasingly famous because of the Deadpool film.

4. Deadpool was Made with Minimum Budget

Due to Deadpool being the less popular comic book character, it's not surprising that the studio was not too confident in working on Deadpool film projects. The studio prepared a very small production budget when compared to the budget for X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine.

Deadpool's budget is very small, almost a third of those superhero films. The budget was spent on shooting using the same setting, namely the flyover setting where Deadpool defeated his enemies with only twelve bullets.

Ryan Reynolds' dialogue as Deadpool even pokes fun at the film's budget. The satire came when Deadpool realized he had only seen Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead at X-Men headquarters and commented, "It's as if this studio couldn't afford a better X-Men." However, despite being made with minimal funds, all Deadpool films are quite successful and can satisfy the fans.

5. He was Married to Scarlett Johansson

In 2008, the king and queen of superheroes Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson married. The marriage took place before they both took on roles in their respective superhero films. Unfortunately, their married life lasted only three years before they finally divorced in 2011.

After that Reynolds later married Blake Lively. Scarlett Johansson explained in an interview with Vanity Fair that she never had strong feelings for Reynolds. When in 2008 they were young and naive, and not ready to face the trials in married life.

And then the first film production I was involved in was in Sri Lanka when I was 14 years old. I spent three months there. I was there without my parents. I was doing a film production in a country that was going through a civil war. It felt pretty wild." Says Reynolds

9. Green lantern Help Him Overcome His Fear of Flying

Ryan Reynolds' fear of flying in an airplane stems from a bad experience when he parachuted as a teenager. The accident that nearly cost him his life happened because his first parachute did not open and made him free fall in the air.

Years later, Reynolds spoke about how he overcame those fears when he co-produced the 2011 film Green Lantern. “I had a problem with airplanes,” Reynolds told Ann Curry on The Today Show in 2011. “In the film, we were flying with cables running high the entire time filming all over the place… It was really exciting and scary at first," Reynolds continued.

In the end, Reynolds said something about his nieces and nephews who also helped him overcome his fears. "I don't mean to make it sound too altruistic, but my nephews really enjoyed this film and I keep thinking about them getting to see this film," Reynolds said. Because of his nephews, Reynolds was determined to fight the trauma that caused him to be afraid of heights.

10. Met Blake Lively at the Green Lantern Set
