Deadpool & Wolverine Is Full of Kevin Feige Jokes, Says Karan Soni
36The MCU is about to welcome its rudest, crudest hero yet with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine this summer. With both Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the fold, the film is one of Disney's most hyped projects in recent memory, marking the first R-rated outing for the superhero cinematic universe on the big screen. Karan Soni, one of several actors reprising their roles from the first two films starring the Merc with a Mouth, was able to catch up with Collider's Perri Nemiroff at SXSW. While previewing his new movie, A Nice Indian Boy, Soni shared a little about what the threequel has in store for audiences and what it was like to meet Kevin Feige. Given Deadpool's penchant for meta-comedy, he was also able to tease that the Marvel boss is a frequent target for jokes in the script.
Soni will reprise his role as Dopinder in the film, the taxi driver turned personal chauffeur for Deadpool who desires to become a contract killer like him. While the star couldn't share any details of how his arc continues, he did believe it would be a worthy successor to the first two films from Shawn Levy. He also pointed out how Deadpool's MCU debut is good for both parties. For Disney, it's a chance to revitalize their superhero franchise after films like The Marvels and Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania underwhelmed at the box office, while Reynolds and company get a chance to work with Feige and play around with the very fabric of the new universe they now inhabit. For Soni personally, it was also a chance to get to know an industry giant:
"I can say that I think it'll be really good, this movie, and from my little experience of my part of it, it's definitely... Ryan's taking full advantage of the MCU and playing with all the toys. It also feels like it's coming at a perfect time for the MCU because it's ready for a little bit of a shake-up, and he's definitely shaking it up. And so I think like, this is great that it's coming at this time, and they're very willing to make fun of themselves, which is important. And I got to meet Kevin Feige, and I was surprisingly starstruck. I was a little bit like, oh my gosh, it's him. Which I was surprised that I was. But it’s very cool to see those minds together. You know, him, Kevin's obviously completely changed the industry, and then Ryan who's such a genius, like them combining their power, it's pretty exciting."
