AceShowbiz - Ryan Reynolds has taken to his Instagram account to share about meeting with children who are part of the Make-a-Wish programme on the set of "Deadpool 2". Through his Monday, February 19 post, the Merc with a Mouth depicter shared his experience with his young fans and said that it's "one of the best parts" of playing the Marvel character.
"One of the best parts of playing the Big Red Jackass is welcoming @makeawishamerica and @childrenswishfoundation onto set," so the 41-year-old actor wrote along with a bunch of photos of him with the fans.
"Deadpool kicked Cancer in the taint, but these kids do it for real every day," he continued. "These foundations make dreams come true for a lot of of super-brave kids. They also make dreams come true for parents, who just wanna see their kid smile. HUGE thanks to our Prop Master, Dan Sissons, for making sure every kid left with his/her own sword. (Bamboo versions. Not stabby-stabby versions.)"
However, one Instagram user was not pleased to know about this. Taking to the comment section, the critic reacted to Reynolds' post, "Guys deadpool is R rated movie and those kids are watching it... I think something is wrong here," pointing out the fact that the film is R-rated is inappropriate for children under 17 to watch. The user also added an angry face emoji.
In response to the comment, Reynolds wrote, "Yup. Deadpool is Rated R." The Canadian actor added, "If my kid went through a fraction of the s**t these kids deal with daily, I think they can watch whatever they like. That's just my .02 cents."
It's unclear when the set visit took place, but Reynolds has already wrapped filming on the follow-up to the Tim Miller-directed 2016 film. The sequel, directed by David Leitch ("Atomic Blonde") and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, is due out in theaters across the nation on May 8.
The film also stars Josh Brolin as Cable and Zazie Beetz as Domino. Other cast members include Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Leslie Uggams, David Harbour, Shiori Kutsuna, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapicic, Jack Kesy, Karan Soni and Julian Dennison.
In "Deadpool 2", after surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry's hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste.
Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor - finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World's Best Lover.
