Ryan Reynolds’ Darkest Comedy Came Out a Year Before 'Deadpool'
Ryan Reynolds’ darkest comedy is 2014's The Voices, in which Reynolds plays a man who gets unusual advice from his talking pets.
In 2016, Ryan Reynolds erupted into an A-list comedy-action star via the release of Deadpool. While the star had previously appeared in comedies such as Van Wilder, Waiting..., and the Sandra Bullock-led rom-com The Proposal, his fourth wall-breaking reprisal of the Merc with a Mouth — first embodied by the actor in 2009's X-Men: Origins - Wolverine — elevated his reputation within the genre and opened the door for funnier as well as bolder films. While Deadpool and much of Reynolds' comedic filmography since has been splatter-filled and action-packed, his darkest comedy actually arrived a year before the superhero parody hit theaters. While we eagerly await the summer release of Deadpool & Wolverine, it's the perfect time to revisit 2014's The Voices, an underrated horror comedy that remains one of Reynolds' most unnerving works.
