    The film Deadpool & Wolverine successfully brought Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After its major success at the box office and with fans, however, the film – and more specifically, star Ryan Reynolds – are facing backlash for a line said by the Deadpool actor’s daughter.

    Inez Reynolds, the daughter of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, played Kidpool in Deadpool & Wolverine. One of her lines in the film, however, sparked controversy from viewers. The controversy recently got worse when director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds further discussed the line and how Inez initially didn’t want to say it.

    Inez, who was only 7-years-old, was revealed by director Shawn Levy to have said the line “70 to 500 times” on set. The outlet revealed that, according to Reynolds, Inez originally didn’t want to say the line. She only changed her mind when Reynolds started to consider other actors for the part of Kidpool.

    This specific line was heard in the film as follows:

    “Hey, when I want your opinion I’ll take Wolverine’s d*** out of your mouth.”

    Reynolds, who joked that he’d get “the best father of the year award” for his work with Inez, admitted that he coached her on the script. “Guiltily,” Reynolds stated, “that is my daughter Inez,” when watching the clip with Levy.

    “I’m so sorry we have to admit that,” Levy added when they first started viewing the footage.

    “And I am father of the year over here for allowing her to say such language, which to her credit she really didn’t want to say,” Reynolds followed up.

    “And then [she] came back later and said ‘I want to say it now’ when I started looking at other people to play.”

    Levy continued:

    “Yeah but Ryan, to our discredit, we made Nezzy do, I am not s****** you, 70 to 500 versions of that line.”

    “Yeah, I’m going to pay for that later,” Reynolds concluded.

    Social media users shared some of the following responses regarding Ryan Reynolds and his decision to have his 7-year-old daughter say the controversial line in Deadpool & Wolverine:
