A corner of the world has held its breath in anticipation of the epic showdown between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in their comic-accurate gears. However, Reynolds has more than one surprise up his sleeve for fans. The star not only readied the release of the third installment of his iconic Deadpool but also joined forces with John Krasinski for an upcoming American live-action and animation hybrid fantasy comedy film titled IF. Ahead of the new year, Reynolds shared a picture with Krasinski on his Instagram story, with his face adorned with a vibrant explosion of colors.

Reynolds tagged Krasinski and the official page of IF movie on his story. Krasinski, who will take on multiple roles as the writer, director, and co-producer, will also star in the movie. It will feature an ensemble cast comprising Cailey Fleming, Fiona Shaw, Alan Kim, Liza Colón-Zayas, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., and Steve Carell. The movie is set to hit the screens on May 17, 2024, ahead of the release of the much anticipated Deadpool 3. 

Right before hitting fans with the Krasinski picture, Reynolds threw in a little Deadpool 3 tease. He posted a story featuring him and Shawn Levy on the Deadpool 3 set, caught up in a conversation while walking side by side. But that was not all. Reynolds unleashed a series of other stories, recapping the year gone by and hinting at what is in store in the next few months. 

He also shared a heartfelt farewell post to bid adieu to the year 2023, featuring sweet pictures with his wife, Blake Lively, friend Taylor Swift, and many others. 

Ryan Reynolds paid tribute to the closing moments of 2023

Ryan Reynolds took a moment to express gratitude to his people with an Instagram carousel, who supported him throughout the year. While the first shoutout was obviously for his wife, Blake Lively, his thread of pictures moved onto a fun group photo featuring Taylor Swift. Although, the carousel also featured many other personalities, including King Charles, the mention of the word “working” in Reynolds’ caption sparked another row of rumors of Swift’s Deadpool cameo. 

Reynolds captioned the post saying, “I got to spend most of the year working and playing with the people I ❤️❤️”. Taylor Swift has been one of the most rumored cameo actors in the upcoming flick, for the role of superheroine, Dazzler. Although the makers and Reynolds himself have denied the rumors and speculations, fans kept imagining Swift in the MCU. However, all these rumors can be put to rest in 2024, with Reynolds coming up with not one, but two exciting projects!
