What intrigued you the most about Bedlam? Are there any characteristics of Bedlam you identify with? For me, just don't think it's not going to happen, just prepare for it to happen. I always stay ready, which to be honest, has been a big part of my career and why I have been able to take advantage of a lot of opportunities. Especially with period stuff, they weren't looking like me back in the day. A guy who has been good-living, they'll add pads to you. If they want to add a belly and make me look a little more normal-looking. A lot of times, though, if different roles want to change how I look, they actually add things. I'd end up looking the same, because I do the same things everyday. I have never really had to spend six months to get ready for this thing. Terry Crews plays the mutant Bedlam in 'Deadpool 2' FOXīeing that this is an action role and physical training is required, how does the way you prepare for this role compare to what you're used to? And I feel like it's right, I feel like everything I've done up to this point has led me to this point, was for this moment, and it feels really good. And then Ryan Reynolds calls me and lets me be in one of the big, hot franchises of all time. A lot of the time, people were "we should put you in there," and you always get fan-casted, or things wouldn't work out.

In the past there weren't that many black characters, it just wasn't that way.

I'm a big nerd, I'm a huge fanboy, and it had to be the right thing. My God, why did it take so long?! I've been trying to be a part of the superhero/comic book world. What does it feel like to play a superhero? What was your reaction when you got the part? Newsweek caught up with Crews to talk about his character in Deadpool 2, how he prepares for action roles and finally being cast in a superhero movie.Įditor's note: this interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. His work on Everybody Hates Chris, The Expendables and Brooklyn Nine Nine, has garnered the actor a massive following. Bedlam may not be a household name, but Crews is. One of those mutants is Bedlam, played by Terry Crews, who Deadpool recruits to his X-Force team to thwart Cable's plans. The sequel to 2016's R-rated superhero hit aims to deliver more jokes, more action and more obscure mutants from Marvel Comics to the big screen. Deadpool 2 is slated to be one of the biggest movies of the summer.
