$350M Canadian movie star Ryan Reynolds elects Wayne Gretzky to receive Deadpool-like superpower
Canadian movie star Ryan Reynolds expressed his choice to grant a superhero-like ability to Wayne Gretzky.
During an interaction with Scott Campsall of The Score, Reynolds, who's famous for playing the protagonist in the Deadpool movies, was asked which athlete, past or present, he would grant the power of healing at superhuman speed.
Without hesitation, Reynolds named none other than Wayne Gretzky.
"To one athlete, It'd be Gretzky," said Reynolds.
Meanwhile, Jack Hughman, known for his portrayal of Wolverine in the X-Men movies, selected Jesse Owens as the athlete he would grant the ability to heal at superhuman speed.
In the movies, Deadpool possesses regenerative mutant powers as a result of his healing ability, making him almost indestructible. This power makes him heal fast from wounds and even reattach body parts if they are severed.
Ryan Reynolds and Jack Hughman joined forces in an American superhero comedy film, Deadpool & Wolverine. Released on July 26, the movie is centered around Deadpool and Wolverine from Marvel Comics, in the works with Marvel Studios.
This is the third installment and a sequel to the previous "Deadpool" movies, "Deadpool" in 2016 and "Deadpool 2" in 2018, starring the lead role of Ryan Reynolds.
His performances in the two movies was a major launch pad to his stardom, increasing his net worth to $350 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Wayne Gretzky took inspiration from the Flyers' legendary centerman
Wayne Gretzky said that what really inspired him was the fact that Bobby Clarke would play from the corner, not from behind the net, as most players usually did. Gretzky watched how he played and used the net as a decoy, flowing around it to potentially avoid colliding.
Gretzky acknowledged the legendary Flyers centerman as the first to adopt this strategy. "The Great One" said:
"Bobby Clarke was the first centerman who played on the powerplay and played the game over the corner not so much behind the net.
"And I studied him and watched him, and it was new for people that I started playing out of the corner and from behind the net. Because nobody had ever done that before. And I started using the net as a decoy."
