While Ryan Reynolds is often credited as the mastermind behind the upcoming Marvel flick, it is clear that he did not work in a vacuum. The success of this highly anticipated, Deadpool & Wolverine can be attributed to a collaborative effort by a talented team of individuals. Reynolds may have been the driving force, but he had some superpowered support from his friends and fellow actors, including the incomparable Hugh Jackman who shared the frame with him, and the talented Andrew Garfield. 

Together, they brought their unique skills and perspectives to the table, ensuring that this movie serves as an unforgettable addition to the Marvel universe.

According to an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dafne Keen credited Andrew Garfield for teaching her the art of hiding her surprise appearance in a movie. "All the inspo comes from Andrew Garfield," Keen said. "He is the master at this,” she added, who reprised her role for the first time since playing Logan and managed to keep it under wraps until the big reveal.

Dafne Keen's surprise appearance would be no less than a tribute to her own skill and Garfield's guidance. Garfield had to keep his surprise reappearance as Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home under wraps, and it seems he passed on his expertise to Keen. With Garfield as her inspiration, Keen was able to pull off an impressive surprise that left fans thrilled.

The newfound villain in charge, Emma Corrin, drew inspiration from iconic villains to prepare for her role as Cassandra Nova in Deadpool & Wolverine, as she confessed to The Hollywood Reporter months ago. They studied Gene Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka, deeming him "one of the best villains of all time." Corrin admired Wilder's ability to convey a sense of unpredictability and danger beneath a charming facade.

Emma Corrin also looked to Christoph Waltz's performance as a Nazi officer in Inglourious Basterds. They aimed to capture a similar level of sophistication and menace in their own portrayal of Cassandra Nova. By combining elements from these cinematic antagonists, Corrin crafted a unique and compelling take on the character, which was even vouched for by the mastermind, Reynolds himself.
