Apart from great films, the actor has always kept the audience entertained with
his pranks and jokes about his wife and co-stars. While there is a plethora of
memorable roles he has starred in, he almost lost one of his most iconic roles
to The Boys star, Jensen Ackles.

Over the years, we have seen Reynolds in tons of films and shows of some very
different genres. From Green Lantern to the Free Guy, he is one of the most

Thanks to the actor’s flawless portrayal of the Merc with a Mouth, one cannot
imagine any other actor taking Reynolds’ place as Wade Wilson. However, recently
Supernatural actor Jensen Ackles revealed at the Salute to Supernatural
[https://supernatural.fandom.com/wiki/Salute_To_Supernatural] convention that he
had a chance to play Deadpool. The actor spoke that he was not available for the
role back then.

“But, had I been available, I would’ve had to, you know, jump through the studio
hoops and jump through the, you know, producer hoops and stuff,” shared Ackles.

Batman: Under the Red Hood star added that he really likes the role.
Interestingly, he revealed that his ex-girlfriend was also a part of the film,
so it would have been awkward. However, the star has no hard feelings, as he
confessed that he loves the current cast. And at the end, Ryan Reynolds was cast
for the role and the rest is history.
