Dwayne Johnson has teased interest in appearing in the Deadpool film franchise after comic creator Rob Liefeld made an impassioned plea for him to feature in the series.
Last week, Rob Liefeld, the creator of the Marvel comic books and subsequent X-Men film series of the same name, made an impassioned plea for the 47-year-old actor to appear in the next instalment of the franchise as X-Force hero Garrison Kane alongside his pal Ryan Reynolds, who plays the titular anti-hero and has a surprise cameo in The Rock’s recent “Fast and the Furious” spin-off film “Hobbs & Shaw”.
Writing on Instagram, the Deadpool creator says:: “Dearest @therock based on reports of outstanding chemistry between you and a familiar friend, I believe the next logical step is for you to join the Marvel Universe as Garrison Kane in a future Deadpool instalment. You’re a natural and Kane is already celebrated by millions of comics fans who have thrilled to his adventures since I first introduced him in X-Force #2! Your pal, Rob!”
Sharing a link to the Instagram post on Twitter, the Shaw and Hobbs star replies: “Dearest Rob, thank you, amigo. It’s true, in @HobbsAndShaw, I have insanely outstanding chemistry with our familiar friend. Since you created the characters, how does one Garrison Kane get alone with one [Deadpool]? (sic)”
