Its rebellious, twisted take on the traditional superhero movie proved to be effective, crowd-pleasing and thoroughly entertaining.
They were relatively brief chats, though, so weve chucked them in together to save you a click.
You cant say that this free website doesnt give you value for money.
I thought Id be better off trying to find out some stuff aboutDeadpoolinstead.
The success ofDeadpoolafter all of these years of work must have been very vindicating.

Tim Miller:I think it had people rooting for the film, for sure.
But I feel like the nature of the film itself.
I hope they dont feel that way.
We brought it to a broader audience.
SK:It would have been a great movie.
TM:Not because I made it, just because it was a great script.
Youve made a film thats an action movie and a comedy movie.
The nature of comedy, particularly with the modern trend of ad libbing, thrives on spontaneity.
So how does that combine with the nuts and bolts of making a big action film?
TM:I think we left a lot of room for it.
When you go into the process with Ryan Reynolds, you know hes gonna do that.
Youve got to leave some room for it.
The writers were on set every day to help respond to it.
We just built it in because we knew it was gonna happen.
Were then any movies from this period that were influential, or am I imagining it?
TM:I think youre imagining it.
SK:Well, you know what I would say?
And I think some of that, and the violence, theres ripples of it inDeadpool.
TM:You know what else though?
Probably like a lot of the limitations they had to deal with back then.
So, youre the villain inDeadpool.
You have to pretend to enjoy torturing Ryan Reynolds.
Theres a reason that people do evil stuff.
Because we have compassion and responsibility.
That lack of compassion is what it was about, for me.
To form Ajax it was less about trying to be evil and be some fucked up guy.
It was just like Im gonna take away these things and just see whats left.
And then justify it, by saying Im making you a fucking superhero, dude.
You should be thanking me.
I made you immortal.
I say it in the movie.
All he needs to do is keep his mouth shut.
Youre getting me into character now.
When I started acting it was hard.
But not for Ajax, man.
So it wasnt too torturous.
Now, youre from England, like myself.
How is your relationship with comics?
Do you read a lot?
I read them a lot.
Oh, its the Judge Dredd… Mega City One?
Its called Mega City!
On Inverness Street, I believe.
Inverness Street Market, Camden Taaahn.
laughs Lovely.
I was going to the conventions at the Barbican and at Baker Street when I was a kid.
I was collectingSpawnandX-Menfrom back then and lovingNinja TurtlesandThundercatson the side.
There was a period of about 10 years when I stopped collecting comics.
When I gotDeadpoolI was like This is an opportunity.
This is what I call research, very important resources, and so tax deductible items.
[Laughs]
I had to explain that to my accountant.
This is very important for my character, this is character research.
But it was so great to get back into the comics.
At the moment Im readingX-Force, which is a phenomenal piece.
You know, X-23 and Phantom-X.
Id love to play King Mob.
Id love for them to make it, even if I dont play it.
Ill be there, opening weekend.
I know Seth Rogen is doingThe Boys, andThe Boysis probably my favourite comic series ever.
Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie.
I wonder if Simon Pegg would play it.
But when they started talking in your accent?
You know, Billy Butcher is from Hackney.
I live in Hackney.
Billy Butcher talks in slang that we talk in.
I read it and I think Americans must be so confused by what hes saying.
He talks in cockney rhyming slang.
So, its an amazing feeling to have that.
Writers such as Garth Ennis, theyre just doing incredible things.
Im very proud of them.
Garths run onPunisher: Maxand Morrisons stuff onBatman And Robinis just fucking amazing.
Its a wonderful thing.
Before you leave, youll no doubt want to know what their favourite Jason Statham films are.
Thank you very much, Tim Miller, Simon Kinberg and Ed Skrein.
