‘Flame Off’: Ryan Reynolds Pens Heartfelt Note For Chris Evans’ Human Torch As He Reveals Part Of Deadpool & Wolverine’s Theme Is ‘Saying Goodbye’

As a long-time fan and admirer of the Marvel Universe, I must say that Ryan Reynolds‘ heartfelt tributes to his co-stars in Deadpool & Wolverine are a testament to the camaraderie and mutual respect that exists behind the scenes. Each post is a delightful peek into the making of this highly anticipated movie, filled with nostalgia and anticipation.


Ryan Reynolds, the star of Deadpool, has been sharing backstage photos of his co-stars from the Deadpool & Wolverine films, expressing his thanks for their involvement in the upcoming Marvel project. So far, he has lauded Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Garner, Channing Tatum, Jon Favreau, and others for their role in the movie’s success. Most recently, Chris Evans was highlighted on Ryan’s Instagram with a grid post.

Reynolds titled his series of backstage photos with Evans and Jackman: “This man has written some of the most memorable moments I’ve lived in a theater. Listening to Chris share a tale – no matter what it was about – always had me in stitches, and he managed to make me laugh hard yet again this year.”

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but extol the virtues of my co-star, Chris. He surpasses even the loftiest expectations one might have for a movie star. The standards set for him are astronomical, yet he consistently exceeds them. Truly, there’s no one else quite like him; he is simply extraordinary.

Heed this warning! Chris Evans portrays the Human Torch alongside Deadpool and Wolverine in an unexpected turn, marking his first return to this role since 2007. Unlike the serious Captain America embodied by Evans’ Steve Rogers within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Johnny Storm is known for his colorful language. This trait ultimately led to Johnny being destroyed by Cassandra Nova in the film, with Deadpool’s own outspokenness playing a significant role in the unfortunate outcome.

Instead of using cue cards for his role as Johnny Storm in a recent appearance, the talented actor revealed to People magazine that he chose not to do so. He shared his excitement about delivering lines filled with profanity and humor without assistance.

Ryan Reynolds, true to form, expressed his struggles with saying farewell to Evans’ character Johnny Storm: “Contrarily, it wouldn’t have been a problem if he hadn’t blabbed excessively about Cassandra. Or if she hadn’t electrified his flesh, causing his internal organs to scatter messily on the ground, as the earth eagerly absorbed his blood. It was truly gruesome.”

The actor from Free Guy shared that a central idea in the film involves bidding farewell to crucial Marvel Cinematic Universe characters. He expressed, “A key aspect of the movie’s message is saying goodbye… One advantage of being part of the production is that we could say our goodbyes in unique ways.”

Speaking about Chris Evans’ character, Johnny Storm, he said it felt like seeing someone you deeply miss returning from the dead in a dream, too short and too beautiful to be true. Partings are tough, he added. Ryan Reynolds concluded his message with the hashtag ‘#Flame Off’, symbolizing a farewell tribute to Human Torch’s signature phrase ‘Flame On’.
