Deadpool 2 is Rush Hour of superhero movies, Ryan Reynolds is such a great actor: Liefeld

“He (Reynolds) is such a great actor. That’s where it starts, and gravitas, and who else really is going to hold their ground with Ryan as Wade/Deadpool. That is energy unbridled, and so you’ve gotta hold your ground,” says

Deadpool comic book creator Rob Liefeld said the second instalment of the upcoming film is the Rush Hour of superhero films.

Deadpool 2 has been scheduled for a June 2018 release.

Liefeld, 49, also praised actor Ryan Reynolds for his performance as the protagonist, reported Entertainment Weekly. “He (Reynolds) is such a great actor. That’s where it starts, and gravitas, and who else really is going to hold their ground with Ryan as Wade/Deadpool. That is energy unbridled, and so you’ve gotta hold your ground. When I see the two of them, I’m like, ‘It’s going to be comic book’s equivalent to ‘Rush Hour,’ and I don’t know if comic fans are ready for it. I think it’s going to be great,” said Liefeld.

Deadpool 2 hits the screens on June 1, 2018.
