If you've already seen Deadpool, you'll remember a scene where Ryan Reynolds's Wade Wilson takes out his anger on the Sisyphean torture of assembling Ikea's flat pack furniture.

You might think the Swedish homeware giant would be a bit prickly about mocking its products, but it turns out it was pretty cool about the whole thing.

"The one thing we weren't allowed to do is make names up," writer Rhett Reese told Digital Spy.

"We had to use real Ikea furniture. There was a wealth of real-life furniture to choose from, so it wasn't a problem."

Co-writer Paul Wernick added: "The fact that Deadpool has been turned into this monster and now he's going on a rant about Ikea - it just says everything about his character at that exact moment."

Reese and Wernick also revealed that Reynolds is "very protective" of the two of them, so expect them to be back for any sequels.

Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, Gina Carano and TJ Miller also star in the movie.

Deadpool is now screening in UK and US cinemas. Watch Ryan Reynolds chat to Digital Spy below:
