The release of Deadpool & Wolverine has sparked a fun and unique fan celebration that perfectly matches Ryan Reynolds’ playful and irreverent style. To celebrate the film’s arrival, a group called Ryan Meetup organized a special screening event where every attendee was named Ryan, and they even invited a Hugh named Ryan as a nod to Hugh Jackman’s return in the movie.
The event, showcased on TikTok, featured an entire theater filled with Ryans, all donning Deadpool shirts and enjoying Ryan-themed ads. Some even brought along Aviation Gin, a nod to Reynolds’ own brand. The group’s commitment to the gag was clear, with comments and jokes about changing names to Ryan just to be part of the fun.
Ryan Meetup has a history of organizing themed gatherings, including events like Rytoberfest and St. Ryan’s Day. Their latest stunt with Deadpool & Wolverine was a playful and memorable way to celebrate Reynolds’ latest blockbuster and its impressive box office success, which recently surpassed $900 million. While it’s unclear how much influence these unique events had on the film’s success, they certainly added a memorable twist to the film’s release.
