Deadpool Enters Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spoof Promoting Ryan Reynolds' New Film 'Free Guy'

Deadpoolhas officially entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe — just not quite the way that fans expected.

With Deadpool operating his own video channel that reacts to movie trailers in the clip, the comic book character sits with Korg as the pair crack jokes about the film’s preview, including numerous digs at Reynolds.

“Oh, his face is so punchable,” Deadpool says at one point during the clip, later referring to Reynolds as a “Canadian [Bendecit] Cumberbatch” in another.

The four-and-a-half minute-long teaser trailer is made possible now that Disney, which owns Marvel, also claims ownership of 20th Century Studios — previously 20th Century Fox — home ofDeadpoolandFree Guy.

On Twitter, the actor shared the same video and jokinglywrote, “If you include Deadpool’s cocaine rider, this is the most expensive reaction video ever made.”

Meanwhile, Waititi, 45,tweeted, “This is the third FIRST TIME I’ve ever worked with Ryan [Reynolds],” referring to the pair’s previous collaboration onFree Guy, as well as their work together on 2011’sGreen Lantern.
