Chris Evans turned down cue cards on Deadpool and Wolverine

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Evans turned down cue cards on the set of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ because his dialogue was fun to memorise.
The actor was offered a cameo in the movie by star Ryan Reynolds and he got the chance to revive his ‘Fantastic Four’ character Johnny Storm almost two decade after first playing him onscreen – and Chris, 43, was adamant he didn’t need prompts for his lines.
Chris told PEOPLE: “Ryan was like, ‘Listen, if we need cue cards …’ and I was like, ‘Cue cards? I’m showing up off-book. I don’t get to say dialogue like this. Trust me. I’m going to enjoy every second of this. Memorised.”
He added of landing the cameo role: “It was a couple years ago and I got a text from Ryan, we’re buddies. 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’.
“I mean, honestly, I would do anything Ryan asked. He gave me a great cameo in [2021 film] ‘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.”
Chris previously thanked the stars of the film – Ryan and Hugh Jackman – as well as director Shawn Levy for letting him join the cast of the summer blockbuster.
In a post on Instagram, he wrote: “Thank you to Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy for letting me be a part of such an incredible movie!
“They’re three of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Special thank you to Ryan for making it all happen. Playing Johnny again was a dream come true and he’ll always have a special place in my heart.”
