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\u2019 chaotic fight to the tense quietude of Odysseus&#8217;s journey.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cI take it back,\u201d an exhausted Deadpool says in the clip. \u201cThe Odyssey f***s hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cCongratulations to the entire cast and crew of The Odyssey for becoming the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time.
