澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deadpool and Wolverine star Rob Delaney really doesn't want his character Peter to ever get superpowers – and he has good reason fo🐼r it, too.

Having been killed by Zeitgeist in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deadpool 2, and then "brought back to life" by Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson using Cable's time-travelling device six years🍨 ago, Peter now works with his ex-superhero pal at a used car dealership. Though h😼e yearns to get back into crimefighting... 

Despite Peter's enthusiasm to get the X-Force back together, Delaney hopes the mustachioed human good guy remains.. well just that, as he reckons it "would be cheap" if Peter were to somehow develo👍p telekinesis... or laser eyes... or the abili🌟ty to fly...

"Oh, I hope not," the comedian replies candidly, when 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GamesRadar+ and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Inside Total Film ask whether we'll ever see Peter get superpowers. "I think Peter should have to work with what he's got because, you know, with limitations, you can discover special skills – they might not be magical, but you might be able to do something that other people can't do because they're relying too hard on their powers. I mean, like, 'Look at me, I've got an adamanti🐷um skeleton'. I mean, enough of t💎hat, right?"

Everyone on the press tour has kept unsurprisingly schtum about certain plot details for Deadpool and Wolverine, and the trailers so far have been pretty opaque in terms of cameos, crossovers, and villain Cassandra Nova's motivations. With that, it's hardly a shock to learn that Marvel sat Delaney down🌱 and gave him a brief on "how to live [his] life in a way that didn't release secrets."

"We shot this at Pinewood in London, which is one of the greatest studios in the world, and I didn't have to leave, so I didn't witness any crazy set precautions. I was given a short speech by a Marvel security person. That was kinda funny," he says. "On Deadpool 2, I had to wear a black cloak to hide my costume, which was hilarious, because I was just in normal clothes. And there were other people who definitely should've been wearing a cloak who weren't!"

Directed by Free Guy's Shawn Levy, Deadpool 3 is the first entry in the trilogy that's officially a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the Regenerating Degenerate having been owned by Fox, before Disney acquired the company in March 2019.

"There were similarities, but it absolutely felt bigger," Delaney says of the differences between a Fox Deadpool production and a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios Deadpool production. "There were sets for example, on this one, where my jaw dropped," he recalls. "So it felt bigger, but at the same time, you fe🅘lt Ryan and Shawn's control over the story 𒁃they wanted to tell. Their caring and flexibility, and ability to adjust to things in real time as they were happening, too."

Deadpool and Wolverine lands in UK cinemas on July 25, and a day later in the US. For more, check out all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Marvel movies and shows on the way, as well as our guide to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:how to watch th🅷e Marvel movies in order.
