Ryan Reynolds starred in Deadpool and became one with the character, or the character became one with him. The technicalities are still a bit unclear. What is clear, however, is that for superhero comic fans and those appreciative of comedy, Deadpool is a cult classic. But so is Free Guy. Apart from his knack for starring in movies that unravel to become cult classics, Reynolds also has a knack for stirring up, quite literally, commercials that become cult classics. Such as his latest Aviation Gin ad, where he brings the true ‘mon amour’ of many, Max Caulfield, as Rex Manning to stir up his perfect drink.

That Reynolds weaves stars of pop culture into his commercials is very evident. Therefore, it does not come as a shock that he got Rex Manning to celebrate Rex Manning Day with a classic, but not cult-like drink consisting of Aviation Gin and Betty Buzz.

It takes a true marketing genius to remember that Winnie the Pooh has entered the Public Domain and use it for advertising Mint Mobile, similar to how it takes a pop culture icon to recognize another pop culture icon and use them to endorse Aviation Gin. Reynolds got what the Internet likes to call ‘Cult Classic’ character Rex Manning to stir up the perfect mix of Aviation American Gin on Rex Manning Day.

Caulfield hilariously insists throughout that his character and the movie in question, albeit classic, do not associate with cult-like activities. However, the two other ‘fans’ that are dressed just like him and copy his every move while keeping him on a pedestal say otherwise. The ‘fans’ on Rex Mayfield’s direction stir up a “cult” classic drink.

How the Deadpool actor manages to give us back-to-back blockbusters while also bringing the dusted football club Wrexham AFC to glory and creating top-notch commercials remains a mystery.
