While Ryan Reynolds continues to be the reigning Merc with the Mouth, Jensen Ackles explained that he came very close to getting the role himself but was glad he missed out since he avoided sharing the screen with a former partner. "It was probably a good thing because my ex-girlfriend was on there, and so that probably would have been awkward. So it probably worked out for the best," Ansen said, referring to his ex-girlfriend Morena Baccarin, who plays Vanessa in both "Deadpool" and "Deadpool 2."
Be that as it may, Ansen quickly acknowledged that the end result was an outstanding one. "I think that whole cast was amazing," he said during the panel. "I probably would've messed that up for a lot of people had I been a part of it, so probably best I didn't. But that would've been cool." Does that mean that in some alternate timeline, Ryan Reynolds is going toe-to-toe with Homelander (Antony Starr)? If so, then we really wouldn't mind paying it a visit.
