Apparently, Deadpool’s budget was so tight that Fox wasn’t willing to pay up to have them on set. “Interestingly, Ryan wanted us there, we were on the project for six years”. Reynolds probably hires the screenwriter of Green Lantern to pick up his dry cleaning.

“It was really a core creative team of us, Ryan, and the director Tim Miller”, Reese added”. Starring God’s flawless idiot Ryan Reynolds and a bunch of other “actors”, DEADPOOL is a giddy slice of awesomeness packed with more twists than Deadpool’s enemies’ intestines and more action than prom night. If Fox couldn’t accommodate that, which it turned out the studio could not, then he was willing to pay to have them there. “We were on set every day”, said Paul Wernick And Rhett Rheese, who are penning Deadpool 2.
It’s not the only thing that Reynold’s has paid out of pocket for either.
Deadpool is now the most successful X-Men film to date, beating Days of Future Past and the recent Apocalypse at the box office.
Chatting to AMC’s Geeking Out (via ComicBook), Reese and Wernick have been talking about the production of Deadpool, and how they were able to be there on set when the film was made – and why.
The actor, director Tim Miller and the writers worked on Deadpool for six years and became very close during the process.

To make sure Deadpool was the hit that it was, its star, Ryan Reynolds, went above and beyond. “I’d like to co-direct that script with him”.
