As a long-time fan of Ryan Reynolds and his antics, I can’t help but appreciate the ingenious meta-humor that is Gordon Reynolds. This fictional twin brother of the Deadpool star serves as a delightful nod to one of the actor’s most memorable interviews – the infamous GQ conversation with the man himself.
Among the versions of Deadpool and Wolverine, Nicepool stands out as one of the most courteous, evident in his fondness for canines, stylish man bun, and his accommodating nature when it comes to lending his car. However, the actor who embodies Nicepool, “Gordon Reynolds,” is quite the contrary – he’s Ryan Reynolds’ mischievous and boisterous twin brother, and they don’t always agree on things.
As a dedicated gamer here, let me set the record straight: Contrary to some rumors, Ryan Reynolds doesn’t have a twin brother (that I know of). The character of Gordon, who interviewed Ryan for GQ back in 2017, is more of a meta-joke than a real sibling. It’s one of the deep cuts in the Deadpool & Wolverine universe.
As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but notice the subtle humor in Deadpool and Wolverine – details you might have overlooked during your first watch. This movie is a testament to their commitment to breaking the fourth wall for a good laugh. Now, if you’re not up-to-date with Ryan Reynolds’ offbeat promotional tactics, you might miss the backstory of his in-film twin. So, let’s delve into the rich history of these two characters.
Gordon Reynolds is mean to his brother
Initially, Gordon Reynolds appears to be the perfect candidate for the role of Nicepool, given his wholesome demeanor. The interview in GQ starts on a friendly note, with Gordon puffing on a pipe and grinning. Yet, things seem unusual when Ryan Reynolds shows signs of anxiety asking how he’s doing, and the discussion takes an unexpected turn for the worse.
Initially, Gordon refers to Ryan as a derogatory term and then implies he’s an inferior actor, suggesting that one of his most successful films is on par with one of his biggest flops. He poses a question, “Would you categorize ‘Deadpool’ as the ‘Green Lantern’ of good movies?” Ryan appears unfazed by Gordon’s remarks. Later, Gordon adds fuel to the fire by implying that Ryan’s wife, Blake Lively, should leave him for a nicer twin.
In a later scene, when discussing Ryan being named GQ’s Man of the Year, Gordon playfully concedes that his brother should have won it instead. The camera switches to Jake Gyllenhaal, who’s off-camera holding a microphone, seeming disheartened by not receiving the award. The interaction ends with Gordon criticizing Ryan for being an irresponsible father and consuming debatable meats, yet Ryan denies any faults. However, viewers found the exchange amusing, which might be why it was mentioned in “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
Ryan Reynolds fans’ comment on his fake twin
In the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Gordon Reynolds was considered for the role of Nicepool, but some fans think his demeanor resembles Deadpool more closely. They point out that both characters are known for their sharp wit, annoying behavior, and troublemaking nature. As YouTube user @survivorgun2283 noted in a comment under the interview, it seemed like Ryan Reynolds was being interviewed by Deadpool himself.
In other circles, fans like Reddit user @PhantonYouth13 have raised some intriguing points regarding Gordon’s inclusion in the Ryan Reynolds film universe. If, as the credits suggest, Nicepool was portrayed by Gordon Reynolds, then logically speaking, The Proposal would star Gordon Reynolds in his universe, correct? This implies that there are two versions of Nicepool movies within his universe. It certainly sparks curiosity! What does the filmography of Gordon Reynolds look like in this alternate reality? Quite a mind-boggling scenario, isn’t it?
It’s not hard to understand why Gordon Reynolds appearing in the cast of “Deadpool & Wolverine” seems puzzling unless you’re familiar with the GQ skit. One can only wonder if his portrayal as the evil twin could pave the way for future roles, potentially leading some viewers to speculate that Reynolds actually has a real-life identical brother.
