Chris Evans" 1 Requirement For Doing Deadpool & Wolverine Made The Movie Infinitely Better

:0:1

Chris Evans, who reprised his role as Fantastic Four superhero Johnny Storm in this summer"s Deadpool & Wolverine, only agreed to be in the MCU movie on one condition, which Ryan Reynolds honored. Evans played Steve Rogers for almost a decade in the MCU, but he recently returned as one of many cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine, though not as Captain America.
The actor"s iteration of Johnny Storm has a small, but memorable part to play in the overall story, introducing Reynolds" Deadpool and Hugh Jackman"s Wolverine to the politics of the Void. Not long after, Evans" Johnny Storm is killed by the villain, Cassandra Nova, and Deadpool is seemingly to blame, having repeated some very insulting things he"d apparently said about her. In the moment, the audience is led to believe Deadpool made it all up, and he got Johnny killed for no reason.
It"s not until the Deadpool & Wolverine post-credits scene, when Evans" Johnny Storm goes on an expletive-laden rant, that viewers realize Deadpool was telling the truth all along. It"s a hilarious subversion of expectations and the perfect capstone to Deadpool & Wolverine.
Chris Evans Only Agreed To Do Deadpool & Wolverine On 1 Condition The Actor Returned As Johnny Storm From Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) Close It turns out, Deadpool & Wolverine keeping that post-credits scene of Johnny Storm swearing enough to make Steve Rogers blush was the one condition Chris Evans had to do the movie. Previously, Evans explained his Deadpool & Wolverine appearance by revealing that Ryan Reynolds was key to convincing him to be in the MCU movie. The actors are good friends and have traded cameos across multiple movies in recent years, but apparently, Reynolds had something more up his sleeve to entice Evans to be in Deadpool & Wolverine.
In Assembled: The Making of Deadpool & Wolverine, which was released on Disney+ alongside the movie, Reynolds explained how he convinced Evans to appear in the film:

So I wrote this tag for Chris. Initially, I just wrote it to trick and manipulate Chris into saying yes. I was like, "But there"s also this scene." And then it became something that was really funny, actually, and I was like, "This has to be in the movie." And Chris only agreed to do the movie as long as that tag stays in the movie. Which I don"t blame him at all.

It"s possible that Reynolds was exaggerating a bit when he said Evans "only" agreed to appear if they kept the credits scene, and it may have been more of a joke on the Johnny Storm actor"s part. But, it"s also possible that, just like Deadpool, Reynolds is telling the truth. After all, if Evans agreed to do the movie because of that specific scene, the actor would no doubt be crushed if it ended up on the cutting room floor, so it makes sense that he"d make it a stipulation of being in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Chris Evans' Deadpool & Wolverine Tag Is One Of The Movie's Best Scenes It Works On Multiple Levels Whether it was only included to "manipulate" Chris Evans, as Reynolds said, the Deadpool & Wolverine post-credits scene makes the movie so much better, because it works on multiple levels. Not only does it vindicate Deadpool after he"s blamed for Johnny"s death, it also continues to subvert the expectations of Evans playing the straight-laced Steve Rogers. Johnny Storm is a very different character, and nowhere else is that more obvious than in the tag.
Plus, it"s just a fun scene, and it makes perfect sense why Evans wanted it to be included in Deadpool & Wolverine, because it makese the movie even better.
