Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool Disguise
In “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” Ryan Reynolds faced a costume debacle when portraying Deadpool. Rather than the iconic red and black suit associated with the character, Reynolds appeared with a mouth prosthetic, a departure from Deadpool’s signature wise-cracking persona.
Alec Gillis, co-founder of special effects, attributed the decision to alter Deadpool’s appearance to the character’s early storyline and the anticipation of a standalone Deadpool film. However, the departure from the comic book depiction left fans disappointed and contributed to the film’s mixed reception.
