Deadpool & Wolverine Director Talks Chris Evans' Foul-Mouthed Human Torch And Original Kidpool Casting
Chris Evans spent the better part of a decade playing the McU's Captain America before bidding farewell to the role in 2019's Avengers: Endgame. We thought that might be it for the actor, but he returned in Deadpool & Wolverine...as the Human Torch!
That was Evans' first superhero role way back in 2005's Fantastic Four and, for director Shawn Levy, his foul-mouthed tirade in the threequel's post-credits scene was something he knew he wanted from the start.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly about "that super dirty monologue," Levy said Ryan Reynolds "wrote [it] in literally about nine minutes" and explained, "Unlike a lot of movies, we knew what would be our final end-credits button for over a year. It was always going to be that, and it was non-negotiable."
He added. "We expected that Chris might need a bunch of takes because that was a page of super dirty, mile-a-minute language.
