A lot of people are already raving about the anti-hero movie "Deadpool" directed by Tim Miller prior to its release in 2016, and there is also an equal amount of hype concerning its lead star Ryan Reynolds, and how perfect he is to portray the titular character.

Even Reynolds himself could not thank his lucky stars enough for being given the role, and during an interview with Collider, he explained why he found a kinship with Deadpool.

"I just think there's nothing else that occupies a space quite like it in any universe, in any comic book universe, and it's been like that for a long time," he said. "So in a weird way waiting might have served us better than anything, because now's the time for a movie like this in a way that five, six, seven years ago might not have been."

"Deadpool" will be like a breath of fresh air in the comic book movie universe, said Reynolds, because it does not shy away from violence and reality unlike other superhero flicks.

"Well, every comic book movie I go to nobody (expletive) dies!" Reynolds exclaimed. "I mean, like, everybody's getting shot at, it's like an episode of 'The A-Team,' you know, everyone's shooting the ground - so, we get an opportunity to do this in a way that follows all the scripture that Deadpool's laid out, which is fourth-wall breaking, that kind of mercenary sensibility and humor and then we also have this opportunity, which is very rare in this world, to do something that's not necessarily for just kids. There's some pretty racy, pretty hyper-violent things that happen in this movie and it's been a lot of fun to shoot."

Even Miller himself cannot deny the uncanny way Reynolds embodied Deadpool and vice versa.

"If you know the character you can see why Ryan as a person would be drawn to that character and then you take that character and Ryan was there writing the script with (writers) Rhett and Paul and putting his ideas and then you take a character that's kinda like Ryan and then you put Ryan into his development process and he becomes very much like Ryan until he really IS Ryan and the character, if you knew him, not in this context, but he's very much like Deadpool," he said.

Miller explained that Reynolds and Deadpool both have the same "nasty" sense of humor, and both individuals are just immature on a daily basis.
