With only a month left to go before the long-awaited release of 20th Century’s Free Guy, lead star Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter to share a fun promotional video for Shawn Levy’s forthcoming action-comedy film, featuring Reynolds reprising his role as Deadpool after nearly three years since Once Upon a Deadpool. The video, which you can check out below, features the popular anti-hero as he invites Taika Waititi’s Korg to react to the Free Guy trailer. In addition, Deadpool also got the chance to ask Korg about some tips about getting into the MCU. This promo teaser actually marks the first time that the Merc with a Mouth has officially interacted with a MCU character since the Disney-Fox acquisition.
