【Dear Utol (2025): WEEK 5 HIGHLIGHTS Episode 29】

The Dear Utol (2025): WEEK 5 HIGHLIGHTS Episode 29dance continues.

Ryan Reynolds has a habit of trolling his old X-Men Origins: Wolverine pals Hugh Jackman. Just a few weeks ago, in fact, Reynolds took a (proverbial) dump all over an anniversary message Jackman sent to his wife of 22 years.

Now he's at it again. In a video tweeted on Friday, Jackman can barely keep a straight face as he tries to record a "heartfelt birthday message" while a Deadpool-suited Reynolds sings "Tomorrow," from Annie, on the bed behind him.

It's hilarious. Especially with them breaking into "Who Let the Dogs Out."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

It might be a stretch to suggest that there's any meaning behind two high-profile acts of trolling in the space of a month... but I'm suggesting it anyway.

What is Reynolds doing here? He pops up in this weird, random video, all suited up in what is surely not a cheap costume (not to mention a valuable piece of movie memorabilia). There's also the fact that, at the top of the video, Jackman says: "I'm really, really busy doing..." -- glances at Reynolds-as-Deadpool -- "...some stuff."

Look. Deadpool 2is out on May 18. The movie's done. In the can, as they say in Hollywood. So it's not like Jackman's hanging with Reynolds to shoot some extra scenes. Even though something as simple as, say, an effects-free post-credits scene could be shot and tacked on to the end of a film in the space of a day.

I'm probably reading too much into all of this. The video is, in all likelihood, just another bizarre aspect of Deadpool 2's intentionally weird hype train. But we know Deadpoolis part of Fox's mutant universe. We know Jackman has been Wolverine before, even if he's done with the character now.

I choose to read my hopes and wishes into all of this. Jackman-as-Wolverine is totally going to pop up at some point in Deadpool 2. And it's going to be great.

Of course, there's another possibility here and it's equally wonderful: Maybe Reynolds just walks around like this now. Either way, we win.
