Since they first appeared on-screen together in «X-Men Origins: Wolverine,» Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have had a friendly rivalry both in their personal lives and in the press. Particularly in the years of press for «Deadpool» and its sequels, Reynolds has taken any and all opportunity to rib Jackman regarding Wolverine, which has included following the Australian actor to his press tours for other movies, mocking the actor in-character in the «Deadpool» films, and both men playfully roasting each other via social media.
For example, in 2018, Reynolds and Jackman made fake political attack ads aimed at each other, subtly promoting «Once Upon a Deadpool,» a PG-13 recut of «Deadpool 2» released in theaters for the holidays, and Jackman’s «The Frontrunner.» They’ve also amped up their faux-conflict in promotional stints for their individual companies as well as birthday messages to each other on social media.
With «Deadpool and Wolverine» on the horizon, this good-natured public war will likely ramp up in anticipation of the film’s release. Given how ruthless Deadpool has been in making fun of Wolverine (and Jackman) in the films, it’ll only get funnier to see him do it to the man’s face on the big screen.
