Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy have kickstarted the first leg of their world press tour for Deadpool & Wolverine. And already the two lead stars of the movie and their director have created a significant buzz with their usual hilarious antics, raising expectations and anticipation for the upcoming movie.
Starting from Shanghai, China, the press tour promises to deliver an exhilarating experience for fans around the world. Recently, the promotional video from their press tour went viral, featuring Reynolds annoying Jackman in the most hilarious way, leading to fans exclaim Deadpool 3 has the best marketing strategy of all time.
Ryan Reynolds Hilariously Annoys Hugh Jackman on Press Tour of Deadpool & Wolverine
Ryan Reynolds is a marketing genius. After founding his company Maximum Effort in 2018, the Hollywood star has redefined marketing campaigns and set a precedent about how actual commercials should look. The internet is full of praise for his impeccable marketing campaigns for numerous companies and movies.
And seeing the promotional videos and more of the upcoming movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, even fans are saying the superhero flick has one of the best marketing runs of all time, thanks to Reynolds. Recently, a promotional video of Reynolds and Hugh Jackman from their world press tour went viral across the internet.

In the video, Reynolds can be seen hilariously making fun of Jackman, before he runs for his life, similar to how their respective superhero characters bicker in the upcoming film. As the video went viral, seeing the reaction of fans, it is not hard to believe the many box office predictions estimating Deadpool & Wolverine to be a massive hit.
As per Deadline, the movie is expected to make more than $160 million during its domestic box office opening, potentially dethroning Deadpool for the biggest R-rated opening of all time. Previously, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the movie set the record for the highest first-day ticket sales for an R-rated flick.
With so many record-breaking feats, including having the most-watched movie trailer of all time in 24 hours (via The Walt Disney Company), Deadpool & Wolverine has surely raised fan expectations sky-high with its marketing campaign.
Even Fans Believe Deadpool & Wolverine Has The Best Marketing Campaign of All Time
The whole Deadpool & Wolverine 3 marketing campaign is essentially based on the relationship between Wolverine and Deadpool. One being pathologically funny and the other being exceptionally broody, the ‘bromance’ between the two has been keeping fans on the tip of their toes to see what Shawn Levy, Reynolds, and Jackman have been cooking so far.
Although some have found problems with the way the two characters are allegedly romantically being paired off, most fans have claimed the movie’s marketing campaign, mostly featuring a churlish Wolverine and candidly raw Deadpool, is the best they have ever seen!
