During a recent interview on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM radio show, Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy revealed the lengths they went to in order to secure the use of Madonna’s No. 1 single from 1989, “Like A Prayer,” for their new film. “It did involve a personal visit to Madonna, where we showed Madonna the sequence where ‘Like a Prayer’ would be used,” Levy said. “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.”

Madonna not only allowed them to use the song in Deadpool & Wolverine, but she also shared a note on how the song should be used. “She gave a great note,” Reynolds said without sharing specifics. “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.” “It made the sequence better,” Levy added.
