As Deadpool & Wolverine prepare for their latest adventures with a slew of updates, from behind-the-scenes concepts to on-screen transformations, Ryan Reynolds is donning the iconic red and black latex suit and has no plans to hang it up anytime soon. Especially on Morena Baccarin's birthday, the actress who portrays Deadpool's wife, Reynolds embraced the anti-heroic charm of Deadpool to send his heartfelt wishes to his on-screen spouse.

Leaning towards his trademark wit, Reynolds also confessed to feeling a hint of embarrassment while expressing his warm regards to Baccarin.

On Monday, Ryan Reynolds took to his Instagram story to extend his heartfelt wishes to Morena Baccarin on her 45th birthday. Maintaining his trademark Deadpool charm, the actor shared a photo with Baccarin on his stories, captioning it with "10 years of happy birthdays for Morena Baccarin," while admitting a bit of "shame" for not having the cat and beer in their celebration.

The mention of 10 years marks how long Reynolds and Baccarin have known each other. In 2014, the leaked test footage of Deadpool played a pivotal role in getting the movie green-lit by Fox, which further led Reynolds and Baccarin to cross their paths. Reynolds seemingly implied that Baccarin's birthday is a joyous occasion primarily because she met Deadpool, as celebrations a decade before this may have been lacking in anti-heroic antics.

Deadpool, being the agent of chaos, it is easy to believe that Baccarin's birthday may have lacked charm before Reynolds joined the scene. Fortunately, he did, and now the audience is eagerly anticipating a new dynamic in Wade and Vanessa's relationship in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Thanks to the time-travel shenanigans, Vanessa is still alive, and Morena Baccarin is ready to reprise her role in Deadpool & Wolverine. However, it appears the upcoming movie will introduce some differences as the creators aim to reimagine their love story. In a December interview with Screen Rant, Baccarin disclosed that her work on the upcoming film has concluded.

Baccarin noted that both the creators and Reynolds have successfully reinvented the relationship between Vanessa and Wade to maintain intrigue. Despite Vanessa's demise at the start of Deadpool 2, Baccarin believes the directors have preserved the fundamental element that draws them back to each other, as seen in the sequel's post-credits scene. Hence, it is courtesy of their reunion that Baccarin's birthdays will always be a call for celebration within the Deadpool universe.
