Ryan Reynolds Congratulates The Odyssey As It Passes Deadpool & Wolverine as World’s Highest Grossing R-Rated Film

There’s no hard feelings, though, as Ryan Reynolds has publicly congratulated Nolan and the team with a humorous video on social media. The short clip combines two scenes from each film, seemingly shot in similar (or perhaps the same) location. As Matt Damon quietly treks through a forest with his men, Deadpool and Wolverine duke it out inside a fourth-generation Honda Odyssey minivan, with the video swapping back and forth from the heroes’ chaotic fight to the tense quietude of Odysseus’s journey.

“I take it back,” an exhausted Deadpool says in the clip. “The Odyssey f***s hard.”

“Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of The Odyssey for becoming the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time. That is one helluva car,” Reynolds captioned the post.

It’s been a great summer at the movies, a trend that’s looking to continue into the fall and winter months as Dune Part 3 and Avengers: Doomsday approach for December releases. Coyote vs Acme is also slated for its long-awaited August 28 theatrical release, already earning rave reviews from critics and debuting with a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are also looking at a possible return to the big screen this winter, if their recent appearances in Doomsday marketing mean anything. Reynolds notably appeared at Marvel’s Hall H panel at San Diego Comic Con in July, and both actors shared a humorous scene during Marvel’s showcase at D23 in August.
