Reynolds recalled that the leaked Deadpool test footage in 2014 helped prove fan demand and ultimately green-lit the film. Similarly, he hopes Deadpool & Wolverine could be the proof Marvel needs to consider bringing back the 44-year-old as the Cajun mutant in another film.

As Gambit said, he’s about to mak Channing Tatum’s appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine was one of the film’s biggest surprises, mostly because the actor had never played the character before. He’d tried though.

Ryan Reynolds says Marvel are "obsessed" with Channing Tatum's Gambit. The 43-year-old actor plays Deadpool in the MCU and he "fought" for the 'Magic Mike' star to land a cameo as the card-flipping mutant with kinetic energy in this year's blockbuster 'Deadpool and Wolverine'.
