Deadpool Director Clarifies The Film's Rule Of Breaking The Fourth Wall

"Deadpool breaks the fourth wall. Wade Wilson never does."

That's how Deadpool director Tim Miller explains one of the character's quirkiest and best-known character traits in a new interview published by Empire magazine.

"Does he know he's a comic book character in a comic book movie? Does he know that Ryan Reynolds is playing him, and that Ryan Reynolds also played Green Lantern? It's a big rabbit hole, and we explore it pretty deep," Miller says in the interview.

The most important thing, he said, was finding where the line was -- and ultimately they decided that it was basically a power, and that it shouldn't be used before Wilson gets his powers.
