"I really worked hard to get that role," said Clements. "Trained seven years, started from an extra at the bottom of the pile. Doing everything I can, audition after audition after audition, just trying the best to get where I could. To finally get that role was an honor. You know, it meant so much to me, everything in the world. I couldn't believe I was a genuine Marvel character."
Clements noted that he put on 32 pounds of muscle for the role and studied Russian for three months. He also praised Nash's take on the character, and he explained his familiarity with the original character as he appeared in the Punisher comics. The actor finished his remarks by thanking Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Feige, and director Shawn Levy for allowing him to audition and for taking a chance on him in the role.
Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in theaters. But the Russian wasn't the only Marvel cameo in the film.
