Ryan Reynolds continues to amuse and surprise fans with his signature Deadpool-style antics, this time through a cleverly hidden QR code in the latest Deadpool & Wolverine trailer. Amidst the plethora of Easter eggs and F-bombs in the trailer, Reynolds inserted a tiny QR code, leading to an unexpected recorded message from the actor himself.
The QR code, strategically placed between Hugh Jackman’s legs in the trailer, led fans to a YouTube video featuring Reynolds in a studio-recorded disclaimer. In classic Reynolds fashion, the actor humorously set the tone for the upcoming film, poking fun at Marvel and delivering witty quips throughout.
Reynolds began by acknowledging the excitement surrounding the film’s release date, July 26th, while humorously downplaying the depth of the plot. He playfully quipped about the film being “as paper-thin as a sequel to Battlefield Earth” and humorously outlined what audiences could expect: beat-downs, Disney jabs, dick jokes, and plenty of banter between him and Jackman.
Taking a playful jab at Marvel’s penchant for after-credits sequences, Reynolds hilariously sidestepped the expected convention, describing them as mere advertisements for future movies. He then cheekily encouraged viewers to join him and Jackman on a journey to a “vapid Dreamland” where superheroes strut in tights, portraying it as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the state of contemporary cinema.
In classic Deadpool style, Reynolds concluded the message with a bold declaration: “This is cinema.” The combination of humor, irreverence, and self-awareness characteristic of Reynolds’ portrayal of Deadpool resonated with fans, adding to the anticipation for the upcoming film.
As the most awaited Marvel project of the year, Deadpool & Wolverine promises to deliver a blend of action, humor, and irreverence that fans have come to love from the Merc with a Mouth. With Reynolds at the helm, audiences can expect an entertaining ride when the film hits theaters on July 26th.
