Taylor Swift is headed to the movies this weekend to watch Deadpool & Wolverine. On Thursday, the musician shared a sweet post celebrating her close friends Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman‘s Deadpool & Wolverine.
“Over the past few years, I have watched one of my best friends on this planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness, and magic into this film,” she wrote over a photo of herself with Jackman, Reynolds, Blake Lively, and director Shawn Levy. “He’s created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich. I don’t know how he did it. But that’s just Hugh for you!”
Swift was actually referring to Reynolds, who’s one of her closest friends, alongside his wife Blake Lively. “These other randoms crashed the photo and we were too polite to ask them to leave,” Swift joked. “Deadpool and Wolverine is out TOMORROW! Here’s where to buy tickets if you like things that are unspeakably awesome.”
Swift shared a link to a website to buy tickets, and ended her note by referencing Lively and Reynolds’ Deadpool character: “Shout out to Wade Wilson, aka my godkids’ sperm donor!” she wrote.
Also on Thursday, Reynolds and Jackman visited the set of Hot Ones and shared some behind-the-scenes secrets of their film (and their friendship), all while Reynolds fulfilled his dream of wanting to “mouth-sex a volcano” with the spicy wings.
“I’m shocked that we managed to get through this without some of our biggest surprises, even hypothesized online,” Reynolds said of filming the latest Deadpool movie. He even revealed the original plan to hide the film by fake-filming another movie titled Alpha Cop. “The original idea with this movie was to shoot a fake movie called Alpha Cop, that was intentionally bad… It was about two guys that were sharing one brain, and together they make the ultimate cop… and the poster says Alpha Cop: two cops, one brain, all balls.”
“And it was meant to be kind of horrible. Like ten people in America would go to see this movie on opening weekend, and five minutes into the movie, the Marvel logo would flip up, and it would actually be Deadpool & Wolverine,” Reynolds added.
Jackman shared that he knew that Wolverine could come back to do a double-act comedy after watching Deadpool for the first time. “That’s when everything came flashing to me. That’s when I saw 48 Hours, Nick Nolte, Eddie Murphy…I saw The Odd Couple,” Jackman said. “I was like, these two characters have to be together, and I literally announced my retirement three days before…it took us six years to get there, but we got there.”
