Watch: Ryan Reynolds Hilariously Crashes X-Men Reunion Party

Fox’s X-Men universe began in 2000 and is still going, despite the Disney/Fox merger having completed some time ago. The last movie in the franchise will be The New Mutants, which is slated for an August 28 release (though I’ll believe it when I see it…). However, one survivor of the old universe is set to make the jump to the MCU: Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool.

Now, in a jokey video made for Global Citizen’s ‘Global Goal: Unite for Our Future’ project (which celebrates the heroism of healthcare workers), we saw a reunion of X-Men stars chatting about their experiences with the franchise. This star-studded event saw Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry and Famke Janssen pleasantly reminiscing over Zoom. But this the vibe was kinda spoiled when Ryan Reynolds gatecrashed the party.

Ian McKellen disappeared immediately, with the rest of the cast getting amusingly uncomfortable at him spoiling their vibe. Then Reynolds invited in James McAvoy and Sophie Turner and poked fun at the jumbled, confused and very busy X-Men chronology. James McAvoy proceeded to make a pretty damn funny “Two Professors, One Cup” gag, and they started disconnecting en masse.

Turner claimed she’d mistaken this for the Game of Thrones reunion, Jannsen and Berry went to the Bond one, Stewart to Star Trek and McAvoy to the uh… Split Zoom party. Finally, awkwardly, just Jackman and Reynolds were left, with Reynolds quipping that “that fell apart quickly. Guess it’s just you and me Logan.” Then Liev Schreiber joined, making this an X-Men Origins: Wolverine-only get together. Oh well.

Hopefully, we’ll hear something more on Deadpool 3 pretty soon, though rumors suggest it’s set to be a while before the Merc with the Mouth pops up in the MCU. Let’s just hope those stories about him being introduced hopping between universes in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness prove true. Beyond that, we have a whole new generation of mutants to look forward to when we finally meet the MCU’s X-Men.
