Warning: spoilers ahead Chris Evans has spoken on his relationship with Ryan Reynolds following the release of Deadpool & Wolverine . In the Marvel film, released last month, Evans made a surprising cameo not as Captain America, but as Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, a role he played in 2005’s Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer . Evans has shared more about his appearance in the film, which was made possible thanks to his friendship with Reynolds.
“It was a couple years ago and I got a text from Ryan [Reynolds], we’re buddies,” Evans told People in an exclusive interview. “He just said, ‘Listen, if you don’t like this idea, no worries whatsoever. But I have something that could really bring the house down and would let you play a character from your past.
'” Evans was all ears. “I mean, honestly, I would do anything Ryan asked,” he added. “He gave me a great cameo in Free Guy already, and I just trust him completely.
So the chance to be Johnny again, I couldn’t pass up. I loved it. It was fun to shoot, fun to watch, all of it.
” In the post-credits scene of Deadpool & Wolverine , Evans’ Storm is seen delivering an expletive-filled monologue, which he says he memorised entirely. “Ryan was like, ‘Listen, if we need cue cards..
.’ and I was like, ‘Cue cards? I’m showing up off-book,'” Evans revealed. “I don’t get to say dialogue like this.
Trust me. I’m going to enjoy every second of this. Me.
