Ryan Reynolds, known for his larger-than-life personality, often outshines his on-screen alter ego, Deadpool, with his real-life antics. However, having had the chance to put on the red latex suit 6 years after Deadpool’s sequel show, Reynolds has significantly upped the sense of humor and concurrently has intensified the masked mercenary’s mischievous energy. Now, as he makes global stops with Wolverine actor, Hugh Jackman, Reynolds was found serving the epitome of chaos when asked about the presence of some kind of sexual tension between the superhero duo.

Reynolds made comments that suggest Deadpool is no longer just a character he dons occasionally, but a kind of friendly neighborhood fourth wall breaker, whose quips have finally landed every doorstep after years of anticipation.

Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool character is famously pansexual, meaning he is attracted to individuals regardless of gender. Naturally, this has sparked curiosity about whether there is any sexual tension between the crimson comedian and the adamantium-clawed superhero, especially since there have been efforts on the latter’s part to rebrand the film into a romantic comedy. In a recent interview with Variety, Reynolds addressed these speculations, quipping that Deadpool seems to have sexual tension with "everything and everybody," though he could not speak for Wolverine.

Adding to the banter, Hugh Jackman joined in, insisting that Reynolds should not play coy and deny that the bond is indeed "special." Reynolds, known for never backing down in a comic fest, countered by likening their relationship to “two magnets facing the wrong direction”. Director Shawn Levy also chimed in, teasing their on-screen and off-screen dynamics while emphasizing Deadpool's admiration for Wolverine is one of “reverence”, akin to fanboy adoration.

As the comedic exchanges continued, Jackman also commented on whether Reynolds' antics had him turning to the all-knowing Internet for a better grasp of the jokes.

In their recent interview with Variety, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman offered a preview of the comedic barrage awaiting audiences with the upcoming release of Deadpool & Wolverine this July, holding nothing back. Amidst their banter, the interviewer queried whether Jackman had resorted to Googling the jokes, given the abundance that emerges when collaborating with Reynolds. Jackman responded affirmatively, acknowledging the necessity.

Reflecting on their dynamic, Jackman recalled a scene where one character delivers a long monologue ending with "I don’t know what any of that means," to which Wolverine responds, "Me too," adding to the humor. Director Shawn Levy also chimed in, noting Reynolds' knack for inventing swear words previously unknown to mankind, echoing Jackman’s assertions. However, Reynolds jokingly differentiated between his roles as a father and husband versus his after-hours persona, unknowingly raising the stakes for Deadpool & Wolverine, which hits the theaters this July.
