Chris Evans has spoken on his relationship with Ryan Reynolds following the release of Deadpool & Wolverine.In the Marvel film, released last month, Evans made a surprising cameo not as Captain America, but as Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, a role he played in 2005’s Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.Evans has shared more about his appearance in the film, which was made possible thanks to his friendship with Reynolds. “It was a couple years ago and I got a text from Ryan [Reynolds], we’re buddies,” Evans told People in an exclusive interview.“He just said, ‘Listen, if you don’t like this idea, no worries whatsoever.

But I have something that could really bring the house down and would let you play a character from your past.'”Evans was all ears. “I mean, honestly, I would do anything Ryan asked,” he added. “He gave me a great cameo in Free Guy already, and I just trust him completely.

So the chance to be Johnny again, I couldn’t pass up. I loved it. It was fun to shoot, fun to watch, all of it.”In the post-credits scene of Deadpool & Wolverine, Evans’ Storm is seen delivering an expletive-filled monologue, which he says he memorised entirely.“Ryan was like, ‘Listen, if we need cue cards…’ and I was like, ‘Cue cards?

I’m showing up off-book,'” Evans revealed. “I don’t get to say dialogue like this. Trust me. I’m going to enjoy every second of this.
