Marvel’sInfinity Warwas always destined to be a hit at the box office, but the massive success has taken a few people by surprise, includingDeadpoolactor Ryan Reynolds. The actor took to social media to congratulate the movie for its huge opening weekend and also shared Deadpool’s rejection letter from Tony Stark.Infinity Warhas beat the North American record for biggest 3-day opening and absolutely shattered the worldwide record with an astounding $630 million, even without the help of China.
To celebrate the incredible success ofInfinity War, Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram to congratulate the Avengers. Reynolds said, “From a guy who never knows when to quit, I’m glad you guys never did. Congrats Avengers,” while posting an image of some Tums, a dumbbell, and a letter from Tony Stark. The letter is a rejection from Stark after Deadpool tried out for the team. It says absolutely not, while telling the Merc with a Mouth to go botherProfessor X.
Ryan Reynolds is a part of the Marvel team, but not the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though that may change in the next several months if the Disney and Fox deal goes through. However, even if the deal goes through, Deadpool will more than likely not end up making cameos in the MCU. But, stranger things have happened and Disney’s Bob Eiger has said in the past that they are open to discussing an R-rated universe for the MCU that could possibly include the Merc with a Mouth. Wade Wilson on the same screen as theGuardians of the Galaxyand Thor seems like a pretty good fit.
Besides theMarvel connection, the upcomingDeadpool 2shares an actor withInfinity War. Josh Brolin, who plays Thanos, also plays Cable in the upcoming sequel. This is definitely the summer of Brolin thanks to those two Marvel movies. Thanos is the main character inInfinity Warand has a huge part to play in the movie, while Cable takes on a villainous role inDeadpool 2before becoming a member of X-Force. If that wasn’t enough, Josh Brolin is also starring inSicario 2, which comes out later this summer.

The culmination of 10 years of MCU movies has shattered records and will more than likely keep going untilDeadpool 2andSolo: A Star Wars Storyhit theaters later next month.
