Ryan Reynolds was quiet for a long time, even down to who was in the cast. Deadpool and Wolverinee. He couldn’t say who wasn’t. And if you’ve ever seen a movie with Ryan Reynolds in it, you know it’s not natural for him to keep quiet.
Now that the film is out, Reynolds has finally been able to speak about everyone in the film, which has been a truly emotional experience. Deadpool and Wolverine took to social media to pay tribute to actors who have surprise supporting roles in the film, including Wesley Snipes, Channing Tatum, Jennifer Garner, Dafne Keen, and today, Jon Favreau. You can read each post below, with a bonus new photo from behind the scenes of the film.
Jon Favreau didn’t just jump in. #Deadpool and Wolverine We had a one-night stand as Happy Hogan.

Deadpool and Wolverine As you know, it’s in theaters now.
