Ryan Reynolds originally want Spiderman but Sony do not want to lend any of the 3 Spidermen. In the Comics, Deadpool tried seducing spiderman but fails a lot. (Though Spiderman is part of MCU, his movie rights belong to Sony)


So Reynolds decided to settle with Wolverine. Wolverine killed Deadpool in one of the Wolverine movies so Reynolds and Jackman had history of working together. Ryan Reynolds always want to give Deadpool a male love interest So Wolverine who is bi fits the bill.
