You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition so that it’s funny, and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.’”Miler said he thought Reynolds was “kind of an insecure dude” and said “I would not have done Deadpool 3 if they came to me and were like, ‘We want you to do Deadpool 3, and we’re going to pay you twice as much.’”He continued: “I think he should make a Deadpool 3 and continue to make movies.
