Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Hollywood's best friends of 17 years, will write another box office syndrome with 'Deadful and Wolverine'.

On the morning of the 4th, a press conference in Korea was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jongno-gu, Seoul, for the movie 'Deadful and Wolverine'. Actors Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Sean Levy attended the scene.

The movie "Deadpool and Wolverine", which will be released on the 24th, is a dopamine explosion action blockbuster in which 'Deadpool', who retired from hero life and was living as an ordinary used car dealer, visits 'Wolverine' in an unexpected and huge crisis, and director Sean Levy, who directed the 'Free Guy', 'Real Steel' and 'The Museum Is Alive' series, took the megaphone.

Ryan Reynolds visited Korea for the third time after the 2018 film 'Deadful2' and the 2019 film '6 Underground'. Ryan Reynolds, who visited Korea for the first time in five years, said "I'm so happy. It was especially welcome because my daughter's best friend is from Seoul. Deadpool is such a terrible hero that I came to Korea alone with my daughter, and I'm happy to be back in such a beautiful city."

Hugh Jackman met with Korean audiences in the 2016 film Eddie the Eagle. He visited Seoul for the sixth time for the promotion of `Deadpool and Wolverine.'I don't know if many of you know, but I used to be a Goodwill Ambassador in Seoul. I don't know when my term ended, but I still think I'm a Seoul Goodwill Ambassador (lol). In that sense, I'm glad to be back in Korea. The movie features a role I've played for 25 years with all my heart and soul, and I've completed a dream project with my best friends Ryan and Sean. The result is also satisfactory. I didn't know I'd be playing Wolverine again, but I've never been so proud while playing this part. I'm the proudest Wolverine series of all time."

In particular, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Sean Levy drew attention by cheering for the 2024 KBO Kiwoom Heroes and LG Twins game at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro, Seoul on the afternoon of the 3rd. Ryan Reynolds said "We're on tour, and every time the three of us went to a city, we decided to exchange cultural experiences of the country and certain places we wanted to go. If one person chooses a place, the other two can never say no. Hugh Jackman and I didn't know where we were going to go, but coach Sean Levy chose the ballpark. It was a surprise experience for us. Watching a baseball game from such a high place was immersive. I came to feel that baseball games are also an important cultural experience in Seoul. I watched baseball twice since I was born, and the Korean game was much more fun."

Hugh Jackman said "The Korean audience was very enthusiastic about cheering. About 5,000 spectators gathered at the scene, and the Apple Watch noise decibel alarm went off. It was the first time since Taylor Swift went to the concert" he expressed his admiration. In response, coach Sean Levy also said, `It's only been 14 hours since I came to Korea, but I don't want to go back. That's how much energy he had."

Attention is also drawn to 'Deadpool and Wolverine', which returned six years after the second installment. Ryan Reynolds, who boasted a deadful character and perfect synchronization, once again played the lead role and performed enthusiastically. On top of that, Hugh Jackman, the eternal Wolverine, joined and heralded explosive action and fantastic synergy.

"There was no pressure," said Ryan Reynolds, laughing, in response to the expression 'Marvel savior'. He used the phrase 'Marvel Jesus' when he first wrote the script. At that time, Deadpool set and wrote that he was delusional alone, but it didn't mean that it would actually happen. We also feel that Marvel is not as popular as it used to be and we know it needs to be reset. It seems to be an external factor rather than us. His wife Blake Lively also asked if he really wanted to save Marvel by saying, `Marvel Jesus.' "I've also been old friends with Hugh Jackman, and I'm working with coach Sean Levy to support each other. This movie also reveals our passion and friendship. They don't compete with each other, but they want to help, pull, and push"This movie is more of a friendship story."

Finally, he also expressed his gratitude to fans who are looking forward to the bromance of the two heroes. Hugh Jackman said "Romance is such an expectation that I'm so happy and interesting"It contains a story of friendship and brotherhood, but it can be seen as a romance. However, Wolverine's romance expresses love through Claw by hitting the other person in the face"It brought a smile to my face.
