“Ate comeback”- Fans Go Feral as Stray Kids Pull the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Headliner Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman for New Music Video

Published 07/19/2024, 2:46 AM EDT

Ryan Reynolds may only be one of the mutants at Marvel, but to pop culture he is no lesser than a monarch. One of the many elements that make him so loved is his unabashed love for the K-Pop group, Stray Kids. Even before K-Pop got the acclaim that it does now in the global spotlight, Reynolds remained a steady anchor as he gave them a shout-out every chance that he could. Therefore, as he headed to South Korea with one-half of his anticipated masterpiece, Deadpool & Wolverine, it was only natural for them to collaborate with the boy group.

While fans expected some sort of collaboration between Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Stray Kids, that they would make a surprise cameo in their comeback music video, 'Chk Chk Boom' was totally off the charts. The unprecedented collaboration has naturally made the Internet go into a breakdown.
