His behind-the-scenes impact can't be understated he was the driving force for the project when it sat in the rubble of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and kept pushing despite Fox's reluctance ( he totally leaked the test footage, or at least 100% knew who did) and led a completely off-kilter viral campaign. There were a lot of reasons for Deadpool's unprecedented success - it was a hard-R gore and swear fest at a time when superheroes were feeling homogenous, it poked fun at the genre's tropes without swerving too far into the unfamiliar, there was an obvious creative drive behind its action and comedy - but the biggest of them has to be Reynolds himself. The Hitman's Bodyguard may have Ryan Reynolds in yet another snarky action-comedy hero role, but rather than seeing him carve out a new "type" in the wake of Deadpool, it really only serves to exemplify how badly his mutant sleeper hit could have gone.
