Ryan Reynolds Jokes About How He Trained For The Deadpool Movie

Ryan Reynolds was a guest on The Late Late Show with James Corden last night, and jokingly described his training regimen for Deadpool.

The actor said he trained about 10 percent as hard as Hugh Jackman does for The Wolverine movies, and in a uniquely British way.

Based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Deadpool is directed by Tim Miller, with a screenplay by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T. J. Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapičić, and Leslie Uggams.

Deadpool is playing in theaters now.
