Ryan Reynolds Details How They Got Madonna To License ‘Like a Prayer’ For ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’
●□■□○
“Also, let’s preface it with the fact that they don’t license — that Madonna doesn’t just license the song, particularly that song,” Reynolds added. “It was a big deal to ask for it and certainly a bigger deal to use it. We went over and met with her and and sort of showed her how it was being used, and where, and why.”
Levy noted that it felt like they were “meeting royalty” during the visit. #RyanReynolds even joked that he had to ask one of Madonna’s team members how he should appropriately address her.
“Like am I allowed to just say, ‘Madonna?'” the Free Guy actor recalled. “Like, ‘Hello #Madge, I’m Ryan.'”
The visit ended up being an overall success, with the “#MaterialGirl” artist granting them permission to use the song, as well as offering the #DeadpoolAndWolverine team some helpful notes for the scene using “#LikeAPrayer.”
“She gave a great note. She watched it, and I’m not kidding, [she said], ‘You need to do this.’ And damn it, if she wasn’t like spot on.”
“We literally went into a new recording session within 48 hours to do this note,” Levy added. “It made the sequence better.”
