Leslie Uggams tells THR at the 'Deadpool & Wolverine' red carpet premiere that she never expected to be playing Blind AI this long when she signed on for the first 'Deadpool.' Plus, she explains why she doesn't think Disney watered down the tone of 'Deadpool' for 'Deadpool & Wolverine' at all.
00:00Going back to the first Deadpool, could you see yourself down the road here today when you signed up for Deadpool 1?
00:07Absolutely not. I had no idea.
00:10And how wonderful it is that here we are, the fans are still loving us, and Deadpool 3!
00:19Now, getting into the Disney universe now, did you feel a difference from the previous two films versus Deadpool Wolverine?
00:27No, I didn't, which I was happy, because, you know, we are R-rated, and I thought, are we going to still be able to do what we are?
00:35And they welcomed us with open arms, and so the fans are not going to be disappointed.
00:41Now, you have a lot of scenes with Ryan, of course, sitting on a couch mostly, too.
00:46Did you guys get to improv anything while on set, outside of the script?
00:50Oh, we improv everything.
00:52Oh, everything was improv, you and Ryan?
00:53No, I mean, we have a basic structure, but, I mean, Ryan comes up with great ideas, and I just go with the flow.
00:59Did you throw any of your ideas out there?
01:01His ideas are my ideas.
01:04They're everybody's ideas.
01:05Right.
01:05Now, being a part of the Disney universe now, what would one character from the Disney family would you like to corrupt and bring into the Deadpool universe?
01:17Daisy Duck.
01:18Daisy Duck.
01:19She feels like she could fit well in the Deadpool world.
01:21I think so.
01:23And outside of every...
01:25Another question, too.
01:26Part of three films, why do you think Deadpool has been able to stand the test of time and not suffer from superhero fatigue?
01:34Because we also have a plot, you know.
01:37It's not just people doing all kinds of wild and crazy things.
01:41There's always a storyline, and the people really love the storylines so far that we've presented, and I'm sure they're going to love this one.
01:48So, aside from your scenes, do you have another favorite part of the film that you're excited for everybody else to get their eyes and hands on?
01:56I have not seen the movie, so I'm excited.
01:58I'm here like the audience.
02:00I can't wait.
02:02Will you be eating popcorn out of Hugh Jackman's face tonight?
