When host Rob Delaney questioned him about his experience when he first previewed the film, he mentioned to Variety that the initial words that came out of his mouth were, “Holy Shit. No, No.” Delaney cross-questioned him whether the film made his “b**thole flutter“, and he said, “Oh my God it was like a ukulele down there.”

Even though a huge fortune was spent on the film, the film did not do well. As per Reynolds, the main reason behind the failure was that the makers spent all their money on the special effects, but they did not focus on proper character development.

However, one cannot say that the film did not do any good to Deadpool because he met the love of his life on the set of Green Lantern. The mother of his kids, Blake Lively played his love interest in the film and thus began their love story.
