Jennifer Garner and Channing Tatum Dish ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Cameos

Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine are more popular than Jesus – at least at the box office, true Deadpool and Wolverine broke the 2004 box office record The Passion of Christ to be the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.

Now the film is officially available in digital format, if you’re one of the few movie fans who missed out on seeing the raunchy action in theaters or want to relive the madness again.

The digital premiere comes ahead of the just-announced 4K, Blu-ray and DVD release on October 22.

The Daily Beast’s Obsessed has an exclusive clip from one of the bonus features, an interview with the superheroes who make surprise appearances in the film to talk about returning to their characters (and their wardrobes) all the years after their first rounds. It is part of a set of functions called Loose Ends: The Legacy Heroeswhich sees Reynolds, director Shawn Levy, and the cast and crew go through some of those cameos and the characters finally getting their deserved ending. They include the intensive choreographed sequences, updated costumes and assembling the iconic team.

Jennifer Garner talks about returning to the character of Elektra almost twenty years after the first film… and having to change the costume to reflect the time that has passed.

“This is a different costume. A lot less skin,” Garner says, laughing in the clip. ‘Elektra always showed a lot more midriff, which…we wouldn’t need that now. That’s not necessary. Elektra has had three children.’

She talks about how the costume was adapted to reflect the different ways she now moves as an action star: “I can move, and it still looks like Elektra, which I love. And the big difference is that I don’t wear heels. I said I don’t know if my 55 year old feet can fight in high heels all day. I don’t know if I can do it. So I have a bit of a wedge.”

Wesley Snipes, who breathed new life into the character of Blade Deadpool and Wolverinealso has a sense of humor about the way the costume has changed. “It shines less. It is less sparkling,” he says. “I don’t have the same IV as the others. When you put it on, you start to see where your body has changed, or where you need to improve or build up. Thank God for muscle suits.

And Channing Tatum, who steals scenes by returning as Gambit in the film, noted how the costume team took direct inspiration from the original comics to perfect his look: “Right down to the pattern on the chest plate and headpiece. It is extraordinary what they have created together. I still can’t believe it.”
