Ryan Reynolds’ brand of humor has made him a beloved star in Hollywood both on and off the screen, and it still doesn’t feel real to him — even when his movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” grosses more than $1.5 billion.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” became a box office behemoth, pulling in an astounding $636 million domestically and securing its place as the 12th highest-grossing film in history. It now sits just behind Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” and ahead of Warner Bros.’ summer sensation “Barbie.” It’s also surpassed the 2019 thriller “Joker” to become the highest-grossing R-rated film ever. And among Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe juggernauts, “Deadpool 3” claims the seventh spot, having recently overtaken “Iron Man 3” globally.

After 20 years, a new generation is discovering the wacky trip that is Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle… including star John Cho‘s kids.
The actor said that his teenage son had a “pretty good takeaway” after seeing the stoner comedy for the first time as he and co-star Kal Penn recently celebrated the milestone 20th anniversary of the first entry in their trilogy.
“My 16-year-old apparently saw it,” Cho revealed this week on The Today Show. “I had to ferry the daughter out of the house, she’s not ready for it. But apparently he saw it, and his takeaway was, ‘So, you have met Ryan Reynolds?!’ It’s a pretty good takeaway. Not a bad thing.”
Cho’s interview comes after Penn and producer Nathan Kahane recounted how Reynolds’ cameo as a nurse “got the movie greenlit,” following Penn’s appearance in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002).

‘Harold & Kumar’ Producer Says Ryan Reynolds “Got The Movie Greenlit” Because Of Kal Penn Friendship
As Deadpool & Wolverine enjoys continued success at the box office, another movie franchise has Ryan Reynolds to thank on its 20th anniversary.
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle star Kal Penn and producer Nathan Kahane revealed the Golden Globe nominee was instrumental in getting the 2004 stoner comedy made as they recently marked the milestone birthday.
Penn noted to Rolling Stone in an oral history of the movie that Reynolds’ support began when they starred together in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002).
“Ryan was incredibly supportive during the audition process for Van Wilder. In the final callback, it was between me and a white dude in brownface for the part of an Indian exchange student. He said to me, ‘How do you feel about improv?’ So we improvised the scene, and he was obviously rooting for me to get the job. The entire production was awesome. He told me once in passing,...

"I remember reading one of the Deadpool comic books, and somebody asked Deadpool what he looks like. He said he looks like a cross between a Shar-Pei and Ryan Reynolds. I was like, I really, really wanna play this guy at some point," Reynolds said in 2009 of playing Deadpool. The actor, then known for his roles in films like "Van Wilder" and "Just Friends," would end up playing the part multiple times, but the journey to get a proper "Deadpool" movie made was a rough one that took well over a decade. It became a passion project for Reynolds that he championed every step of the way, ultimately resulting in one of the biggest R-rated movies in history.

Ryan Reynolds is probably one of the few actors out there with zero haters. From his onscreen characters to his banter with his wife Blake Lively, there is absolutely nothing we don’t love about him. His performance as Deadpool, though, will always hold a special place in our hearts. All in all, Ryan Reynolds clearly deserves all the appreciation he gets.

The controversial actor has previously expressed his resentment toward Ryan Reynolds but the harsh feelings seemed to have ended when the latter reached out to the former. But recently, T.J.

When something is labeled as "based on a true story," they tend to lean toward epic war heroes, an uplifting sports victory, or the doom and gloom of a gruesome murder. But that isn't always the case -- the likes of "The Farewell," "Van Wilder," and "Almost Famous" are exceptions to the rule. These are all films that are relatively light-hearted and yet were inspired by real life.
Speaking of "Almost Famous," before Cameron Crowe told the semi-autobiographical story of a young journalist traveling with a band and learning about life on the road in the entertainment industry, he penned the seminal coming-of-age teen movie "Fast Times At Ridgemont High." Wanting to put an extra emphasis on the "true" part of this true story, the then-22-year-old music journalist pulled a "Never Been Kissed" -- two decades before that Drew Barrymore-led movie was a thing -- and went undercover...

What is the best television series of all time? Some argue the merits of how "The Wire" exposed the hypocrisy of the Baltimore drug war in Baltimore; others point to the villainous evolution of Walter White in "Breaking Bad." Choose to debate this topic endlessly, and there will still only be one, true answer: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," for all its faults and unsavory associations, is the best TV series ever made. Running seven seasons (and five more in comic book form), "Buffy" had it all: vampires, slayers, spells, werewolves, a hellmouth, high school trials and tribulations, college jocks that were secretly androids, evil Mayors, and Giles!
"Buffy" also boasted one of the best casts in all of network television, featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, David Boreanaz, Charisma Carpenter, Michelle Trachtenberg, James Marsters, Anthony Head -- and last but not least, Nicholas Brendon. In the age of "Friends," there...

Exclusive: Kal Penn has signed on to produce and star in Stampede Ventures’ biopic Superfan, which will tell the story of Nav Bhatia, a decades long follower of the Toronto Raptors, who last year became the first fan inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall Of Fame. Penn will play the Toronto man whose loyalty to the Raptors saw him honored with a championship ring, and leading the team’s championship parade in 2019.
Bhatia has long used the game of basketball to bring people together and has an inspiring life story.

Over the years, basketball became a friend and passion for him, to the extent that he has never missed a Raptors home game.

In addition to Sonic, the sublimely goofy Mars Attacks!, 2020 horror film Possessor, and the first six Star Trek films all arrive on Feb. 1. Later on in the month are Antebellum (Feb. 5) and Nomadland (Feb. 19).

Ryan Reynolds has finally started to make some headway on those thirteen movies he’s got on his upcoming slate, although he could yet end up adding another one if he officially signs on to reteam with his The Proposal co-star Sandra Bullock for action comedy Lost City of D.
The Croods: A New Age is still tentatively set for release in two weeks, although Free Guy was recently pulled from the schedule and delayed indefinitely. And having only just wrapped Netflix’s globetrotting heist blockbuster Red Notice opposite Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot, Reynolds is already gearing up to stick with the streaming service for an untitled time travel project under the direction of Free Guy‘s Shawn Levy, while buddy movie sequel The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is in the can and awaiting release next summer as well.

It took Ryan Reynolds a long time to ascend to the top of the Hollywood A-list, where he’s now firmly entrenched as one of the biggest and most popular stars in the industry. To get there, though, he followed the path taken by many actors before him by catching his big break in a TV sitcom ahead of making the jump to the big screen.
Following that, he scored his first major leading role in Van Wilder: Party Liaison, and mixed it up in genre flicks Blade: Trinity and the Amityville Horror remake before solidifying his comic chops in Waiting… and Just Friends, both of which did solid business at the box office relative to their respective budgets.
Somewhat surprisingly, 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine remained the biggest commercial hit of his career until Deadpool finally arrived seven years later, but the same year he played Wade Wilson for the...

College party movies have long held on to the idea that college is the best time ever — cue some drunk guy in the background screaming, “I love college!” before falling backwards into a frat house hedge or similar — from the “Revenge of the Nerds” franchise and “Animal House” to more modern entries like “Van Wilder” and “Accepted.” But what about the fun-loving college students who can’t quite have a good time with all that new-found freedom?
Such an idea seems to be the starting point for Cooper Raiff’s SXSW winner “S#!%house”, which follows just such a guy (Raiff himself) as he stumbles his way through a lonely, decidedly un-fun freshman year at college.

Ryan Reynolds never misses an opportunity to take hilarious self-deprecating shots at some of the more ignominious entries from his notoriously checkered CV of movies and television. The latest such example, a campaign for his Mint Mobile premium wireless company, takes a shot at his film flop, Foolproof.
Enter Mint Mobile+, a mock streaming service set up by Reynolds, bearing an accompanying website that entices would-be subscribers by showcasing the content available to stream. However, said content simply consists of one movie, Foolproof, which has been repackaged in numerous entries across the platform’s entire (Disney+ imitating) interface. Reynolds spent the last week dangling this proverbial carrot with “80 minutes” of “bingetastic unoriginals” that will stream in “2003 DVD quality.” Check out his “trailer” for the service just below.
Two minutes after launch and our crack data team has already determined Mint Mobile + should probably be shut down by the weekend. We...

You may know Ryan Reynolds best for his comedic roles, especially in the wildly popular Deadpool franchise. And while he may have gotten his start in hilarious films like National Lampoon’s Van Wilder and Waiting…, he’s also no stranger to more dramatic material.
Movies like Safe House and Life have shown his ability to step outside humor and drive home a more serious performance. And though his filmography is packed to the brim with both styles, one of his very best appearances on screen happened in a movie that drove many claustrophobic audiences out of the theater. Lucky for you, though, you can watch it in your own home on Hulu as of next week.

Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds are both known for passionately promoting their films on social media, but Leslie Uggams, who stars alongside Reynolds in “Deadpool,” says that’s where the comparisons end.
In a New York Times feature published this past week, Uggams, who plays Deadpool’s elderly roommate Blind Al, says Reynolds is a very reserved man in real life; quite unlike the charismatic Johnson and especially unlike the loudmouth mutant anti-hero he is most famous for playing.
“Offstage, he’s not bigger than life,” Uggams said. “He’s not like the Rock. When the Rock walks in the room, I’m sure it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, the Rock.’ But that’s not Ryan. He’s not Mr. Hollywood.”

Reynolds agreed with this description of himself, telling the Times that the stark difference between his actual personality and the characters he plays has surprised many of his fans long before he started doing superhero movies. He notes that back in 2002, he was met by excited party animals who saw him in the National Lampoon college comedy “Van Wilder,” only to be surprised when he turned out to be “this incredibly boring version of a guy who looked like their hero.”
“When the curtain opens, I turn on this knucklehead, and he kind of takes over and goes away again once I walk off set,” he said. “That’s that great self-defense mechanism.”

That “self-defense mechanism” has made Reynolds into one of the most popular actors on social media, as he has regularly sent out tweets as Deadpool ever since the antihero’s big screen debut became a smash hit two years ago. Most recently, Reynolds fired out a tweet congratulating “Avengers: Infinity War” for setting the new box office opening weekend record by showing a picture of a letter denying Deadpool’s application to join the Avengers.
“Deadpool 2,” which hits theaters May 18, is expected to match the opening weekend set by the first “Deadpool,” which made a then-February record $132 million in 2016. The film went on to become one of the highest-grossing R-rated films ever released with $783 million worldwide.

Onscreen kisses can obviously be awkward, but it turns out Sophia Bush's first time was a great experience, thanks to her co-star -- none other than Ryan Reynolds.
Et spoke to Bush on Tuesday about partnering up with PayPal on #GivingTuesday, a movement fueled by social media to kick off the charitable season. Bush also reminisced about this year being the 15-year anniversary of Van Wilder, the 2002 film in which she appeared alongside Reynolds and Tara Reid.
"That was my first job," the 35-year-old actress tells Et. "Truly I just remember Ryan Reynolds being the most professional and kind and courteous man. You want to talk about good men in Hollywood -- aces all around. Such a good human being."

Daniel Dae Kim made headlines this year for leaving “Hawaii Five-0” over issues of pay inequality, and later, for replacing actor Ed Skrein as a Japanese-American character in the big-screen remake of “Hellboy.” Both instances involved how Asian Americans are still underrepresented in the entertainment industry, and it’s an issue that requires more discussion in order to foster understanding of how the so-called “model minority” continues to be marginalized.
It wasn’t that long ago that very few actors of Asian descent were even considered Hollywood stars. In an interview with IndieWire, Kim reflected on the few Asian actors who were his role models growing up.
“The only two that I can think of were Bruce Lee and George Takei. They were the only two,” he said. “I was a big ‘Star Trek’ fan when I was a kid, and I would watch Mister Sulu all the time. Bruce Lee,...

With both The Hatton Garden Job in UK cinemas now, and We Still Steal the Old Way available on DVD from today, I thought i’d take a look at my favourite Top Five Heist/Crime Caper Movies… In order (for a change) they are:
5) In Security
In Security tells the story of best friends Kevin and Bruce, who are co-owners of a failing home security company in a town with no crime. As a last ditch effort to drum up some business, they start robbing the neighbors to instill fear and create a need for their services but bullets fly when they unwittingly rob the wrong guy – a suburban drug lord with a penchant for kitchen gadgets.
It’s fair to say I love a good goofball crime caper, but In Security however has much more than being just a “crime caper” going for it. For one it stars one of my favourite actors,...

The Chicago Pd star, who’s presenting at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards on Sunday, caught up with E!’s Giuliana Rancic on the red carpet, where the host brought up her strange connection to the Spiderman actor.
Garfield made headlines at the Golden Globes last month for his impromptu make-out session with Ryan Reynolds — but as Rancic reminded her, Bush also has a history of locking lips with the Deadpool star.
“That’s right!” said Bush, remembering she kissed Reynolds onscreen in 2002’s Van Wilder.

There are now a staggering four sequels to 2000's feelgood cheerleading hit Bring It On, but are they any good?
This article contains spoilers for the assorted Bring It On movies.
See related The Missing series 2: the writers on episode 5’s revelation The Missing series 2 episode 5 review: Das Vergessen The Missing series 2 episode 4 review: Statice The Missing series 2 episode 3 review: A Prison Without Walls
2000’s Bring It On is a very odd duck.
It’s not that the film is particularly innovative about how it spins its narrative – there’s a pretty standard set of beats in place for a sports movie – but traditionally, sports movies don’t tend to have a predominantly female cast (and even something like A League Of Their Own was somewhat led by Tom Hanks). Not only that, it’s a movie with a predominately female cast that isn’t entirely focused on love or romance.

Every year she invites her famous friends for a fancy Fourth of July fete, and it’s clear Taylor Swift made Ryan Reynolds a little uncomfortable at Monday’s party.
The “I Knew You Were Trouble” songstress was all over her new boyfriend Tom Hiddleston in a social media snap, and the “Van Wilder” stud couldn’t have looked more awkward.
In fact, several fans took to Twitter to weigh in on Reynolds’ strange face as his pregnant wife Blake Lively sat astride his lap.

With so much going on in her life it’s a wonder Blake Lively finds time to sleep, and yet she’s the front page poser for the July 2016 issue of Marie Claire.
The 28-year-old actress, whose new film “The Shallows” is poised to be “Jaws” for the new generation, opens up about her husband Ryan Reynolds, their 18-month-old baby James and her bun in the oven.
Blake explains, “Ryan had a nice, normal upbringing, and we want our kids to have the same normal life that we had. We don't ever want to rob them of what we had, because we'd feel really selfish.”
Furthermore, Lively reveals why she fell for her “Van Wilder” hubby- “I knew he would always be my best friend for my whole life. That was the biggest thing to me. I'd never known anything like the friendship that I had with him. I could...

Chicago – It was inevitable that we would get an “R-rated” superhero movie, and “Deadpool” fits the bill with its swears, violence and a little sex/nudity. It also has Ryan Reynolds as that hero, doing his “Van Wilder” smarmy act to the nth degree. How that all works will determine how you like the film.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
There are several dead spots in “Deadpool,” including a prolonged sequence that might fit in with the torture porn of the “Saw” movies. But the Marvel Studios film – based on a hero created in 1991 – contains a lot of wise guy humor, the breaking of the “fourth wall” to talk directly to the audience and general anarchy, as it makes fun of the whole superhero genre. It also has a manic energy, and if the special effects were taken out, it might have passed as a 1980s/early ‘90s punk independent film about down-and-out freaks trying to be superheroes.

He wears a mask, but he’s not Batman. He wears a red suit, but he’s not Spider-Man. He has regenerative powers, but he’s not Wolverine. He is Deadpool. You know that guy that we’ve all encountered at some point in our lives, the guy that says whatever he wants, is charming yet a jerk at the same time, can make the entire room laugh without so much as a hint of effort—that’s Deadpool.
The comic book world knows Deadpool best as “the Merc with a Mouth.” Actor Ryan Reynolds has been lobbying for a standalone Deadpool movie for some time, but it wasn’t until the Internet caught glimpse of some leaked test footage that the clamor began. First-time director Tim Miller helms Deadpool and impressively crafts a film that is a mix of near perfect comic self-awareness, gruesome violence, and vulgarity that matches...

Deadpool hits theaters Friday, Feb. 12, Ryan Reynolds stars in it, and fans are hotly anticipating the funny, raunchy superhero movie. All these things easily couldn't have happened - and that's worth talking about. Here's the thing about Deadpool, as a comic book character: He's not exactly what most people would imagine when they think about the main character in a superhero movie. At best, Deadpool, a.k.a. Wade Wilson, is an anti-hero; he's a wise-cracking Bugs Bunny of a guy, even when he's running around killing people. He's a little unhinged, he's a little sexually fluid, and perhaps strangest of all,...
