There is something about superhero costumes that makes Hollywood stars even more enamored of the characters they are portraying, and "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds is no exception.
Reynolds said during an interview with Collider that designing Wade Wilson's costume is pretty tough because they did not want to compromise on its authenticity.
"The costume was tough, it's always tough, I think on any film. That's where I really learned a pretty valuable lesson when it comes to this stuff, I think we all did, which was just never to settle. It was like R&D all the way to the first day of shooting. You gotta tell people that say it's impossible, we cannot do this in the things you're asking for are not possible in the amount of time that we have and you have to just go back to them and say 'You're going to have to find a way and just make it happen, because everything depends on this,'" he said.
Because Deadpool is known to be "ripped" in the comic books, they tried to maintain the same appearance in the movie.
"That's what we're going for. You can't promise Deadpool fans in the audience the authentic Deadpool and then give him a pair of pretty blue eyes," said Reynolds. "You have to make it look the way it's supposed to look. That's all. We're just doing it that way and it works. We've tested it a number of different ways and make sure that you still feel the expression through the mask and I think there's gonna be a little..."
Reynolds broke off before providing any more spoilers. He then talked about putting on the make-up for his character, which once again is very complicated.
"You have to push yourself through it as much as you can, so everything's a little big bigger and you're really moving your face a lot more. We have Bill Corso, who's an Oscar-winning make-up artist, he did 'Foxcatcher,' and he's a big piece of the puzzle because we specifically, right when we got the green light, we said, we gotta get this guy, we have to have Bill Corso 'cause he could bring this guy to life in a way that no one else could. I say to Bill a lot of times, 'You're half my performance.' He really is," shared Reynolds.
"Deadpool" has been scheduled for release on February 12, 2016.
