Speaking to Total Film, Ryan Reynolds offered up some of his thoughts on Deadpool:

That movie is alive and kicking, and then it's dead as a doornail. Then it's alive and kicking and then it's dead... it's like the worst relationship I've ever had! The character knows he's a comic-book character, he knows he's in a film, he knows who the executives are at the studio making the movie. In the current iteration of the script, Deadpool is aware of the Wolverine movie. He doesn't say anything disparaging about it but he does at one point play with the Deadpool action figure with some curiosity.
