Ryan Reynolds’ decision to have Deadpool’s pansexuality be known was a highlight of Saturday's San Diego Comic-Con.
I have absolutely no problem with Ryan Reynolds' desire to have the Deadpool universe, which he all but owns creatively at this point, to feature more LGBTQ characters. He even wants Deadpool's alter-ego Wade Wilson, a self-described pansexual, to show off that side of hiss sexuality in the near future.
“I certainly think that this universe…needs to represent and reflect the world in very real ways,” Reynolds said when asked by a fan if future Deadpool movies will feature more gay or bi characters. “The great thing about Deadpool is that we’re allowed to do things that other superhero movies don’t necessarily do. It’s something that I’d love to see more of, certainly through Wade, certainly through this universe because it’s something that we’re building out more.”
If we can use the superhero genre for the betterment of society, then I'm all for it.
