Rejected first! Throwback to when Ryan Reynolds turned the tables on the first Deadpool movie with his incredible marketing gimmicks
When Ryan Reynolds starred as Deadpool in X-Men films, fans fell in love with him immediately and demanded a separate film with The Mouthed Mercenary in the title role. Moreover, when the Canadian actor himself read the Deadpool comics, he became obsessed with them. He wanted to make the film so badly that he submitted it 11 times. Each time the film was rejected. But how did the actor turn the tables?
When someone leaked test footage of Deadpool, fans went crazy. They were in favor of making a film with the 46-year-old actor. However, no one but Fox dared to take the risk on one condition, as pointed out by Twitter user Brian O’Connor. The studio agreed to pay $37 million as the lowest budget to make the film. Although it seemed impossible to make an entire film with such a minimal budget, Reynolds made this possible with his brilliant marketing techniques.
