Decked out in his Deadpool ensemble, Reynolds broke the fourth wall. “Oh hello! Deadpool here,” he introduces himself. Channeling Deadpool’s penchant for insults, he continues, “I always wanted to be a professional athlete. Because I wanted to have children in cities all over the world.”

After a few clips of Deadpool in action, Reynolds says, “See you this Friday, America.”

Olivia Munn, who stars opposite Reynolds in X-Men, posted a video of herself as Psylocke taking her sword to a foam sword-armed Reynolds/Deadpool. “#Psylocke v. #Deadpool #xmen #apocalypse Right hand left hand sword play,” she captioned the clip.

In Reynolds’ commercial for Hyundai, it’s only him who populates a town called Ryanville. Distracted drivers pause to watch him ride a bike, play football and do some construction work. Thankfully for the Elantra’s Automatic Emergency Braking feature, they manage to avoid running over Dog Walking Ryan Reynolds.

“We all get distracted. And that’s why the All-New Hyundai Elantra protects you with advanced safety features like Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection,” reads the ad. “After all, you never know what you’re (not) going to run into out there.”
