The flood of superhero movies in recent decades is a phenomenon that, inevitably, the entire film community has already stopped to observe. Although it has its ups and downs, we are facing a possible renewal of this type of film with the arrival of new eras in Marvel and DC, with the premiere of
Superman
e
Fantastic Four: First Steps
. It is still early to set a new path, but these films join a huge queue of comic-based productions.
It is for this high volume that it is hardly possible to remember all the faces that have passed through the big and small screens over these years. If there are already large lists of actors who gave life to well-known superheroes, it becomes even more difficult to identify artists who had minor roles in these feature films. Something many may not know, for example, is that
Nathan Fillion
, the star
The Rookie
, simply “appeared” in
Deadpool & Wolverine
, but no one remembers – something entirely justifiable.
Currently as Green Lantern Guy Gardner in Superman, the actor had a small role in the latest movie of the Talkative Mercenary. In an interview with
Entertainment Weekly
, the artist spoke not only about this one, but about all his appearances in Marvel.
In fact, I was in the first
Deadpool
My scene was cut,” Fillion told EW. “You should remember that I was filming Castle at the time. It had to be a very small role, and I asked to be unrecognizable. It’s one of those deleted scenes. I think you can [see] it if you buy the movie digitally.
In the first movie, he plays a member of Vanessa’s strip club team, but it didn’t stop there: Nathan also appeared as an alien in
Guardians of the Galaxy
, like Magnum in the sequel of the movie
James Gunn
(in another deleted scene) and as Master Karja in
Vol. 3
.
Friend of
Ryan Reynolds
Many years ago, the actors formed a friendship after starring in the sitcom
Three is Too Much
no final of the 1990s – and no, this is not the same series
Bob Saget
, although both have won the same title in Brazil.
He invited me to do a test for something in the second Deadpool, which was very generous of him,” continued Fillion. “We still keep in touch. He’s a very generous man and, honestly, he’s very interested in sharing the wealth. He has so many incredible opportunities and likes to remember his friends and share these opportunities.
Finally, Fillion ended up lending not his face, but his voice for the third Deadpool movie: in the film, he voices the character.
Headpool
Ryan was sending me messages and saying, ‘Hey, you do me a favor?’ As if I was doing him a favor,” Fillion jokes. “We recorded a lot of different things. We started with a character, then moved on to Headpool, and then we did the jokes.
“Shawn Levy, the director, called me just before I left home and said, ‘We are all listening to the recordings you sent us, and we don’t see any reason to re-record them.’ I considered it a real compliment that my recording booth had cinematic quality,” he added.
To watch the brief moment when Nathan “emerges” on screen, Deadpool & Wolverine is available in the Disney+ catalog.
