Do you have a preference towards a specific type of film?

No. I love movies, man. Totally. In some ways it’s easier to do something like this than it is a comedy. Because for a comedy I feel like you need a whole orchestra around you. There’s a timing, a musicality to it. It’s a science, and there’s something very interesting about that. But this is just fun.

They taped your mouth up at the end, right?

Yeah, I wasn’t happy about that.

But I’ll bet everyone else was!

I think so! It certainly served the story. But that is where they detoured a bit from the origins. I mean, Deadpool is the 'Merc with the Mouth.' It took a long time. It took four hours just to get it on, and four more hours to get it off. For some people, that’s an entire work day.

People that wear loafers, typically. But it sucked to eat lunch and that sort of thing. I would snort a steak. I would just lay it down like it was the 80’s and go for it. No, we’d have to cut it open and it required a PA to feed it to me.

How many days of shooting was that?

In the Deadpool makeup it was a couple of weeks. My skin was not loving that after a while. It’s a pretty awful experience getting that on and off each day. If we ever did a Deadpool movie, the mask would relieve some of that issue, but I would never want to be in that makeup more than three days in a row.

Are there any other comic book characters you’d like to play?

Not really. I’ve never been a big fan of comics, other than Deadpool. There are others I admire. The Green Lantern. I will play Wolverine one day!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is released on DVD 19th October.
