As a huge fan of both Chris Pratt and Ryan Reynolds, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard they had crossed paths in real life and shared a photo of their encounter on social media. The fact that Pratt used this opportunity to playfully hide Reynolds’ face over his own child’s in the picture was an absolute masterclass in clever social media usage.
1. Despite not having acted together in a film, Chris Pratt and Ryan Reynolds have met in real life. For instance, they posed for a picture when they bumped into each other at a theater, and Pratt utilized this snapshot to promote Reynolds’ upcoming movie, “Deadpool & Wolverine” in 2024, the 34th Marvel film. As an added touch, Pratt skillfully concealed his child’s face in the photo, which I hope will earn Reynolds another point in his ongoing friendly rivalry with Hugh Jackman.
On Instagram, Pratt expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” and revealed that Reynolds is his son Jack’s favorite actor. In a playful manner, he added that the small boy in the photo wasn’t actually Jack, born in 2012 when Pratt was still married to Anna Faris, but rather Hugh Jackman, who was shorter than Pratt had anticipated.
1. Great idea, Chris! Encountering Ryan Reynolds spontaneously is already exciting, but making the most of it by swapping Reynolds’ face for Jackman’s in the photo just elevates the experience. Many celebrities prefer to conceal their children’s identities when sharing photos on social media, like Katherine Schwarzenegger with her and Pratt’s kids. So I appreciate the creative approach here instead of using the conventional blurring or emojis. In response, Reynolds commented that it’s “crazy” how Jackman has a towering 6’2″ face, but in person, he’s much smaller at 4’11”. Blake Lively, Reynolds’ wife, simply replied with “Perfection.”
1. Due to Deadpool and Wolverine’s cinema debuts, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman can now be categorized as Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) co-stars. The acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney in 2019 led to the cancellation of the X-Men film series, but Deadpool and Wolverine reintroduced this superhero genre with their return as the Merc with a Mouth, now inhabiting Earth-10005. Without revealing specific plot details, the third installment finds Wade Wilson seeking out a counterpart of Wolverine (Logan) from another universe to aid in saving their own. However, their bickering and physical altercations create complications, leading them into conflicts with entities like the Time Variance Authority and Cassandra Nova.
2023 saw Chris Pratt’s last appearance as Star-Lord in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” In this movie, Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, returned to Earth and met his grandfather Jason. Since the original Guardians disbanded after Vol. 3, it remains uncertain if we’ll see them again. However, it’s been confirmed that Peter will return to the MCU at some point in the future. This could potentially lead to a Star-Lord/Deadpool collaboration. With the Marvel multiverse set to be revisited in upcoming films like “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” anything is possible. For now, there’s no scheduled team-up.
As a big fan of Deadpool and the Marvel Cinemic Universe (MCU), if you want to rewatch the first two Deadpool movies and most of the MCU films, all it takes is subscribing to Disney+. In the near future, keep an eye out for Chris Pratt in “The Electric State” which will be streaming on Netflix later this year. Lastly, mark your calendars as Ryan Reynolds’ next project, titled “Animal Friends,” is scheduled to hit theaters on August 15, 2025.
