Deadpool’s Morena Baccarin ‘Would Never Have Imagined’ One Thing About Starring In The Franchise, And I’m Right There With Her

Superhero movies dominate the box office these days, and the Deadpool films are among the most successful. All three Deadpool movies have been huge hits, with Deadpool & Wolverine recently surpassing $1 billion worldwide – a remarkable achievement when fewer films are reaching that milestone. Actress Morena Baccarin, who co-stars in the series, says she’s amazed by how far the franchise has come.

Morena Baccarin, currently appearing in Sheriff Country, recently told Variety she’s amazed by the success of the Deadpool series. With the first Deadpool movie celebrating its 10th anniversary next year, Baccarin admits she never imagined the film would become as popular as it is today. She continued by saying…

It feels like a lifetime ago! I can hardly believe it’s been nearly ten years since we filmed the first movie. I never expected it to become what it did. We had a fantastic time making it, and it was such a playful, imaginative world to be a part of.

It’s surprising how popular Deadpool has become, considering it almost didn’t happen at all. Ryan Reynolds had been working for years to get a Deadpool movie made, and eventually convinced the studio to let him film a test reel. Although Fox initially decided against a full movie based on that footage, that’s when things really started to change.

Disney+ subscriptions start at $11.99 per month with ads. It’s the streaming home of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, including the Deadpool movies. You can watch without ads for $18.99 a month, or save 16% by paying $189.99 for a full year. See the deal here.

Leaked test footage of Deadpool sparked a huge fan reaction, and while it’s never been definitively proven, many believe Ryan Reynolds was the one who released it. The footage became incredibly popular online, ultimately leading to the movie being made.

The movie Deadpool was a massive hit, becoming one of the most successful R-rated films of all time and leading to two sequels. The recent film, Deadpool & Wolverine (available on Disney+), has even surpassed the box office numbers of the original Deadpool movies. Actress Morena Baccarin, while understanding her limited role in the latest installment, is hoping for a more significant part if the franchise continues. She shared her thoughts on the matter…

I’m hoping to be more involved in future projects and have a bigger role than I did in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ I also realized that movie was meant to be a buddy comedy.

It’s uncertain what role Deadpool will play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I’m hoping Morena Baccarin gets more involved too. Her character’s connection with Wade has always been important to the films, and the recent trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine felt incomplete without it.
