Chris Evans Responds To Ryan Reynolds’ Shout Out For His Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo As Johnny Storm: ‘He Gives The Best Gifts’

by

As a dedicated follower who has witnessed the evolution of Marvel Cinematic Universe over the past few decades, I must say that the camaraderie between Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds is one of the most heartwarming aspects of this shared universe. Their friendship, as evident in their recent exchange on social media, transcends their on-screen roles and adds a layer of authenticity to the characters they portray.

Chris Evans responded warmly to Ryan Reynold’s tribute post about Jonathan Lowell Spencer Storm, who humorously lost his skin in Deadpool & Wolverine due to talking too much. Despite this, Reynolds didn’t forget to recognize Storm’s significant role in Marvel’s latest and highly anticipated pirate adventure success.

On the 9th of August, 2024, Ryan Reynolds expressed gratitude towards Evans on a social media platform. This was in connection to Evans’ role as Johnny Storm (Marvel’s Fantastic Four’s Human Torch) in Deadpool & Wolverine, which Reynolds portrayed, where he gave his appreciation.

In the post he published on social media, Reynolds explored the farewell motif of the film and how challenging it was for him to say goodbye to the cherished character, Johnny Storm, who fans have been yearning for a return for such a long time.

“I want to express my gratitude to @chrisevans. Many unforgettable moments I’ve had in the theater are thanks to his work. Laughter has seldom been harder for me than when Chris shares a tale, about anything! And once again this year, he managed to surprise me. Chris is the kind of movie star who surpasses even the highest expectations. People set such high standards for him, but he never fails to impress. He’s simply exceptional.”

Responding to this, Chris made a heartfelt remark and playfully admitted that the post had moved him to tears. He then humorously added, “There might be many people like me, but there’s just one Ryan Reynolds.” He complimented Ryan by noting his exceptional talent for choosing thoughtful gifts.

For Chris, playing his cherished Marvel character from long ago in the fresh MCU era feels more like a blessing than anything else. He’s openly credited Reynolds for this opportunity in numerous interviews. That’s why he enthusiastically added, “And he provides the most remarkable gifts. This one will be hard to top.”

The Red Star finished his reply by pointing towards the last slide in the series, which showed a lavishly prepared version of Johnny Storm, a creation of Cassandra Nova. In simpler terms, as Ryan put it, when Emma Corrin’s character “zapped his skin, causing his internal organs to scatter messily onto the ground, with the earth quickly absorbing his blood.”

In an interview with People, Evans stated that when Reynolds proposed the cameo, he jumped at the opportunity without any second thoughts. He further explained, “Reynolds had already given me a fantastic cameo in ‘Free Guy’, and I have complete faith in him. The prospect of playing Johnny once more was too enticing to resist. It was enjoyable to film, enjoyable to watch, and overall, a delightful experience.”

As an ardent admirer, let me share with you a fascinating tidbit I stumbled upon: Evans himself confessed to the same publication that he adamantly turned down scripted cues from Ryan when delivering his colorful soliloquy in the film. Quite intriguing, isn’t it?

Moviegoers can relive the action with Deadpool and Wolverine, featuring Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Chris Evans, Emma Corrin, and others, currently playing in cinemas globally, as a tribute to Jonathan Lowell Spencer Storm.
