Ryan Reynolds Reacts to Possible ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Sequel (Exclusive)

Ryan Reynolds spoke to “Extra” at the 13th Annual Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards in partnership with Variety, where he was honored for screenwriting for “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

He opened up about how much the project meant to him, sharing, “I'm immensely proud, and I just feel really lucky to have been, you know, not just a part of it, obviously, but to be working with this crew, with so many people who are the top of their game, so many craftspeople, crews that are second, third generation."

He emphasized, "I loved every second of it, and it's probably the only film I've ever finished that I mourned. I mean, I was genuinely sad and a little depressed when we locked picture, the final sound mix, I remember that was kind of it and then suddenly I just felt like, ‘All the possibility is gone. Like, that's it, this is the movie. That's what's going out there.’”

He continued, “The way it was received though, in a world that is desperately in need of a little bit of joy here and there, it felt really good to deliver that.”

When asked about a sequel, Ryan quipped, “Oh, now bite your tongue! I would love that, but there's a reason it's been six years since the last one. It just sort of swallows my life whole, and I, you know, have four kids that I wouldn't mind introducing myself to at some point and spending a little time, just walking them to and from school.”

There had been some buzz about Ryan and his co-star Hugh Jackman possibly hosting the Oscars, but that honor has gone to Conan O’Brien.

When asked about maybe hosting with Hugh in the future, he said, “Oh, that would be fun. That would be really fun."
