Your support makes all the difference.The pairing of Deadpool and Wolverine should have been a dream come true - it's just a shame that fans are keen to banish X-Men: Origins from all memory.
A film which acted as a pretty extreme disservice to the Merc with a Mouth, partially by taking away that mouth altogether, so it's no surprise that his 2016 solo film came as something of a revelation.
Ever since then, fans have been dying to know when the two may reunite once more to rectify the sins of the past.
One slight issue: Hugh Jackman has officially retired from the role of Wolverine following last year's Logan, clarifying that the decision is final enough that even Ryan Reynolds himself couldn't tempt him to strap on the claws once more.
The only silver lining to that news is that it clearly doesn't extend to off-camera hijinks, with the duo engaging in a lengthy battle of trolling and pranks, including Reynolds crashing one of Jackman's press junkets.
The new chapter of which sees Jackman attempt to record a birthday message for an unknown individual, only for Reynolds, dressed as Deadpool, to interrupt with a rendition of "Tomorrow", from the musical Annie, before transitioning into the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out?".
Deadpool 2 hits UK cinemas 15 May.
