Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds was asked about Will Smith&#039;s character Deadshot, but he had no idea who it was.

“I just don’t know who that is”- When Ryan Reynolds Had No Clue About Will Smith’s Deadpool-Esque Anti-Hero

Ryan Reynolds was once clueless when asked about a Will Smith character. The
Free Guy actor who began his career with comedy movies and humorous roles only
started starring in action movies in the later part of his career. His first
stint was appearing as Deadpool, with a stitched mouth in X-Men Origins:
Wolverine. This was followed by playing DC’s Green Lantern. But neither of these
was a hit amongst comic fans. That was until Ryan’s comeback as a solo lead in
Deadpool, after careful improvements to the character.

Within a matter of a few years, Deadpool released two amazing films with
Deadpool 3 already reaching us in 2024. The Marvel character movie had its first
part released in 2015 and made a total box office collection of $782.6 million.
During the movie’s promotion, Reynolds was asked about a Will Smith character
that resembles Deadpool in some way. But to our surprise, the former had no idea
about that character.


WHEN RYAN REYNOLDS HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS WILL SMITH CHARACTER

Marvel’s quirky protagonist Deadpool appears similar to DC Comics supervillain
Deadshot. Ryan Reynolds [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/] had no
idea about it when he blazed the 2015 Comic-Con with an intriguing Deadpool
trailer. In an interview
[https://marcuserrico.tumblr.com/post/124205766698/sorry-will-smith-deadpool-star-ryan-reynolds],
Ryan was asked, “Who would win, Deadpool or Deadshot”. Reynolds with a sincere
look, responded with a counter-question, ” Who’s Deadshot“, accepting that he is
not familiar with the character. “Sorry I just don’t know who that is”.

Before Ryan’s ‘Marvel’lous entry, Will Smith

gave a sneak peek earlier that day for his Warner Bros movie. His character
Deadshot, ‘the man who cannot miss”, was an adaptation of DC comics. Will aced
by taking a 180-degree playing a dangerous villain in Suicide Squad. Apart from
both being comedians and action heroes, the common thing about Ryan and Smith’s
roles was the red-colored costume.

Usually, fans would make a comparison between Marvel’s Deadpool and DC’s
Deathstroke. Knowing Ryan and Will’s amped-up excitement for their roles, lead
to a comparison between Deadpool and Deadshot. Unfortunately, Reynold’s
unawareness
[https://news.yahoo.com/sorry-will-smith-deadpool-star-ryan-reynolds-123895927907.html]
fizzled out the excitement. But if there was a comparison between the two
characters, who do you think would win, and why? Let us know your opinion in the
comments.
