Dopinder actor Karan Soni says that Deadpool & Wolverine features lots of Kevin Feige jokes.
Speaking with Collider, Soni discussed his experiences filming Deadpool & Wolverine, which releases in theaters this summer, and shared some new details about the forthcoming MCU movie.
“It was just like, this one was so different for me because we didn’t get a script or anything,” Soni said. “It was very secretive. And so we were just in this, I got the scene like the day before or whatever, and we walked into the sound stage, and he just appeared next to Hugh Jackman, and I was just like, I don’t know what’s happening. It was very crazy, but he was very sweet, very kind. He came up and said hi to all of us from the original movies and stuff, and he seemed excited, himself, by what was happening. And then Ryan [Reynolds] is definitely like, you know, calling him out a lot at the moment. There’s a lot of Kevin jokes [in the movie]. You have to have a good sense of humor and he does. So that’s cool.”
Soni also said, “I can say that I think it’ll be really good, this movie, and from my little experience of my part of it, it’s definitely… Ryan’s taking full advantage of the MCU and playing with all the toys. It also feels like it’s coming at a perfect time for the MCU because it’s ready for a little bit of a shake-up, and he’s definitely shaking it up. And so I think like, this is great that it’s coming at this time, and they’re very willing to make fun of themselves, which is important.”
