Comic-Con: 'Deadpool 2' star Ryan Reynolds dreams of being a Disney ride

SAN DIEGO - The impending Disney takeover of Fox hasn't gone unnoticed by one of the latter studio's biggest box-office powerhouses, "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds.

He even has a plan. “I look forward to being a ride, personally. You have to be 35 to enter,” Reynolds quipped Saturday night at the world premiere of the “Deadpool 2 Super Duper $@%!#& Cut.”

The upcoming extended edition (available on digital HD platforms Aug. 7 and Blu-ray/DVD on Aug. 21) adds back 15 minutes of alternate jokes, deleted scenes and extended takes to the hit sequel featuring Reynolds' ultraviolent wisecracking mercenary Wade Wilson.

The most notable changes are in the end-credits sequence where Deadpool “fixes the timelines” in various ways, like stopping the murder of his fiancée Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and shooting “Ryan Reynolds” in the head when he’s about to sign on to star in the disastrous "Green Lantern."

In one newly extended bit, when Deadpool goes back to kill the much-maligned version of Deadpool that Reynolds played in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," he also tells Wolverine to say yes if a man named Wade ever comes home to him and tells him to "get back in the saddle." It leaves a little hope that Hugh Jackman might return to his iconic clawed role after dying in "Logan" – though earlier in the day at a "Deadpool 2" panel, Reynolds remarked that "there's so much death there. He's bleeding out pretty bad."

The other inserted piece has Deadpool traveling to 1889 to kill Baby Hitler. “This is a toughie,” says Deadpool, who has a hard time doing the deed. “Oh, I’m going to hell. That makes two of us!” (The scene doesn’t exactly go down the way one might think it will.)

There was no news of a third “Deadpool” or an “X-Force” movie, but Reynolds unleashed a bunch of humorous bon mots to the crowd attending his afternoon Comic-Con session.

Which does he hate more, "Green Lantern" or “X-Men Origins”? “Both have kind of been a wellspring of awesome jokes for Deadpool, so I can’t say I hate either of them,” Reynolds said. “But they’re both pretty bad.”

Chances of a team-up between Deadpool and Green Lantern? “That sounds really expensive. The Deadpool costume’s cheap compared to a totally CGI onesie.”

What he’s binging lately? Reynolds has been on a “weird movie tour” and cranking through “The Handmaid’s Tale" episodes (“I wish there were more”). “My wife (Blake Lively) has been shooting a film overseas so I’ve had a ton of time pretending like I was watching the kids.”

High school advice for a teen girl? “High school is just a nonstop horror show. But it’ll end.”
