In recent social media posts, actor Ryan Reynolds expressed disbelief at the enjoyable nature of his current promotional tour for the upcoming film "Deadpool & Wolverine." Reynolds, along with his co-star Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy, embarked on a lively journey that included visits to Shanghai and Seoul. The trio engaged in various activities such as playing baseball, meeting a K-Pop boyband, and participating in a water gun fight at the Waterbomb Festival in Korea. Reynolds humorously remarked on the tour feeling more like a vacation than work, thanks to Marvel covering the expenses.

Despite their faux-frenemy relationship, the two actors share a genuine bond that has developed over the years since their collaboration in the 2009 film "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Jackman, who has portrayed Wolverine in nine movies, including the upcoming "Deadpool & Wolverine," initially faced challenges during the audition process but ultimately landed the iconic role, thanks in part to Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige's support. Jackman's return as Wolverine in "Deadpool & Wolverine" marks a highly anticipated event for fans of the superhero genre. The actor, reflecting on his journey with the character, shared insights into the physical demands of maintaining the role as he navigates his 50s. Despite the challenges of training and transforming his physique for the role, Jackman remains dedicated to delivering a compelling performance. Additionally, Jackman's personal life, including his relationship with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, has been a subject of public interest, with recent reports highlighting their mutual decision to prioritize their well-being and family amidst their separation.
