The Canadian has played Deadpool opposite Hugh before, having debuted a vastly different version of the character in the 2009 movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
While that film was a critical failure and was widely parodied by fans - and often by Ryan - it spawned a bromance between the two actors that has sparked regular comedic interplay between them online.
