'He's an outsider in every way': Ryan Reynolds says he's game for Deadpool to have a boyfriend in sequel to Golden Globe-nominated hit
Ryan Reynolds is looking forward to reprising his comic book role as Deadpool in an upcoming sequel to his blockbuster hit.
And the Canadian actor revealed to Variety he'd be open for the pansexual character to possibly have a male love interest in a future outing.
'What love is to Deadpool may not be what love is to Batman or someone else,' he told the trade publication. 'I think that could be played up more. He’s an outsider in every way, shape, and form.'
Pansexual: Ryan Reynolds revealed he always thought of the Deadpool character as 'feminine' and is open to the character having a boyfriend in upcoming sequels to his 2016 smash hit
'Deadpool is so feminine,' the 40-year-old added. 'At least in how I saw him.'
In fact he said he had trouble persuading his stunt doubles to stop being so macho, and sashay more and swagger less.
The movie made for $58 million budget made $783 million worldwide and catapulted Reynolds back to the top of Hollywood's A-list.

The film is up for two Golden Globes at Sunday night's awards show in Beverly Hills: For Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy and for Ryan, Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
The sequel is slated to film this year for a 2018 release.
And if Reynolds has his way, there will be more movies to follow.
'I would love to play Deadpool for as long as they would let me play Deadpool,' he told Variety. 'We have outlines and stories for a number of different films.'
Looking ahead: The Canadian actor revealed he's happy to play Deadpool for a long time to come and has 'outlines and stories' for several more films
