When fans first discovered Evan's character in the void, during deadpool and wolverine, It's easy to see how many people might assume the actor is playing Captain America, but Johnny quickly ratchets up the tension before Pyro (Aaron Stanford) absorbs his powers.
“Ryan is probably the only man I would do that for.”
Deadpool and Wolverine The movie remains the #1 movie in the world. And while the film lives up to its fun and violence, one of the most interesting aspects of watching a superhero movie for the first time is being amazed by all the amazing and surprising scenes. But if Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds weren’t friends, Johnny Storm might not have appeared out of nowhere, hiding from Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin). Evans said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
“Honestly, Ryan is probably the only guy I would do that for because he has the golden touch.
His self-awareness makes him almost invincible. He tells the joke before the audience has a chance to tell it, so if you're going to bring back a character, you have to find a way to make it work.
“Ryan's sense of humor makes everything work so well, it automatically makes you feel safe.”
Evans continued (below):
“I just had to fly really fast, shoot for a few days and then fly. For me, it was very easy. […]
Primarily because where we found Johnny, he was supposed to be in more dilapidated condition, so the costume didn't have to be in perfect condition.
In those first two movies, Marvel was still trying to find its footing, so everything had to be very precise, and there were a lot of meetings and a lot of feedback.
It was like, “Yes, we know that. We saw it.”
