In a charming blend of fan enthusiasm and mutual respect, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, celebrated for their roles as Deadpool and Wolverine, recently revealed their top choices for favorite Bollywood actors and Indian cricketers. The duo is preparing for the launch of their newest superhero film, Deadpool & Wolverine. During a conversation with Marvel's Indian YouTube channel, Reynolds and Jackman demonstrated a notable depth of knowledge beyond their superhero roles. Jackman, famous for his portrayal of Wolverine, expressed his fondness for Indian cricket by naming Rohit Sharma as his preferred cricketer. Described by Reynolds as 'obsessed' with cricket, Jackman lauded Sharma for his outstanding performance in the recently concluded ICC Men's T20 World Cup, where Sharma's leadership guided India to victory before his retirement from T20 matches. 'You brought the (T20 World) cup home, and I'm thrilled. Truly, he was a powerhouse,' Jackman enthusiastically stated, to which Reynolds responded with similar fervor, 'This is incredible!' Meanwhile, Reynolds, known for his playful wit both on and off-screen, was asked about his pick for a Bollywood actor he'd like to collaborate with. After a brief reflection, Reynolds chose Ranveer Singh. 'Ranveer Singh is fantastic,' Reynolds declared, emphasizing Singh's versatility and humor, particularly noting his Hindi voice-over for Deadpool. Reynolds jokingly told Jackman, 'You think you're fit? This guy makes you look like a crypt-keeper. He's incredible,' referring to Singh's impressive physical condition. Directed by Shawn Levy, their forthcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine, is set to delight fans globally, featuring a stellar cast including Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen. The film, positioned as the 34th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and a sequel to the cherished Deadpool series, is scheduled for release on July 25 in the UAE.
