Blake Lively has not only shown her support for her husband Ryan Reynolds in his upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie but has also played a role in inspiring certain aspects of the story. Lively, 36, shared a photo on Instagram of her kissing Reynolds, 47, on set while he was in full facial prosthetics portraying Wade Wilson with scars. She also posted a video referencing her favorite details from the third Deadpool film, set to release on July 26.
Lively made references to millennial culture throughout the Deadpool franchise, expressing her excitement and connection to the movie. She mentioned various influences from her personal life, including her middle school obsessions, post-baby feelings, love for certain movies and TV shows, and even the way her hair color is determined by seasons.
Reynolds revealed how Lively's influence extended to the movie set by sending a ping-pong table, which led to fun and competitive games with Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy. The trio bonded over ping-pong, infusing the movie with a comedic tone.
The third Deadpool movie picks up six years after Deadpool 2, with Wade Wilson trying to live a normal life but getting pulled into a new mission that requires teaming up with Wolverine, played by Jackman. This film marks the reunion of Reynolds and Jackman in their Marvel roles after more than a decade.
Speculation arose among fans that Lively might portray Lady Deadpool after a character tease in a trailer. However, Reynolds jokingly dismissed the idea, citing financial reasons for not working with his wife on screen.
Reynolds humorously mentioned in an interview that he cannot afford Lively's fee, playfully addressing the notion of them sharing the screen. Despite this, the couple's collaboration behind the scenes has clearly left a mark on the upcoming movie, showcasing their shared love for creativity and entertainment.
