We get a glimpse of Special-Forces-operative-turned-mercenary Wade Wilson (Reynolds, not the Vikings’ former QB) earning his keep, exchanging insults and banter with bartender pal Weasel (T.J. ![]() You’ll see.Īnd have no doubt, the guy in the red suit isn't a superhero: “I’m just a bad guy who gets paid to (bleep) up worse guys." The scene slowly pulls back until we see the full picture of contorted and lifeless bodies in the air, surrounded by a flurry of debris, and then boom - the action kicks in. Good one, and that’s not the only poke taken at star Reynolds. The junk normally shoved under the seats of a car - a lighter, a coffee cup, keys … shell casings (y’know) - hang in the air amid fragments of glass there’s a shot of a stationary, bloodied hand punched through a window the camera drifts slowly past a hovering People magazine with “Sexiest Man Alive” Ryan Reynolds on the cover.

In fact, I read that an under layer of the now-famous red suit (which the film’s star kept post-production) actually had to be removed Reynolds’ uber-muscular frame made the suit too tight.
