If this was not impressive enough, the actor recently confirmed going above and beyond to treat the fans with a comic accurate Deadpool.

Ryan Reynolds paid whopping amount for t-shirt in Deadpool

A user on Twitter named Eric Alper recently tweeted a trivia about the 2016 film Deadpool where he reminded the fans that the actor paid a whopping amount of 10k dollars so that the anti-hero can wear a Bea Arthur T-shirt. Sharing a snap from the movie of Reynolds wearing the tank top, he wrote, ''Ryan Reynolds secretly paid $10,000 for permission to wear a t-shirt with Bea Arthur's face on it in the movie "Deadpool."

The actor made sure to not overlook this reference which was also appreciated by many fans.

One user replied to the tweet by writing, ''It was a passion project, and it shows.'' while another fan wrote, ''That’s a commitment to a part right guy to play Deadpool they probably tried Hugh Jackman first (wolverine)'' The makers are now preparing to bring the anti-hero on the screen for the third time as Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed the same.
