Sequels are always a risky gamble. After setting the audience’s expectations with the first film, it is very hard to do something new with the second one. And there is only a fist full of films that have proven to be even better than the original. For us and many others, it is Deadpool 2 by Ryan Reynolds.

The film took what the original had but magnified its grandeur innumerably. Right from the beginning of the credits, the film was as extravagant as it could be. In fact, legendary singer Celine Dion sang an original song for the movie and even did a music video. As a result, Ryan had some words of appreciation for the Canadian singer.

Ryan Reynolds has nothing but love and admiration for Celine Dion

Who wouldn’t want to work with the great Celine Dion? The singer is one of the most popular artists to ever grace our screens. And according to Ryan, there is a reason for her greatness. While doing promotions for Deadpool 2, Ryan was asked what superpower Celine would have. Ryan took no time and answered, “emotions.”

The Adam Project star then went on to explain that whenever he used to listen to Celine sing, he used to tear up, and it was like she took a piece of soul from him. “We were like 2 inches shorter,” The Red Notice actor said. Moreover, Ryan added that he had never seen anyone feel their song in such a way as Celine Dion used to. The interviewer rightly said, “she would make everyone raisins ’cause everyone would cry out.”
