Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds recently reunited at an MLB game. There, they were nearly struck by a foul ball, prompting a moment of shock. The outing comes shortly after the announcement that the Deadpool & Wolverine stars are teaming up for a new Disney+ docuseries.
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds shocked by a foul ball at the Yankees game
MLB took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video featuring Reynolds and Jackman reacting to a moment from the New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Guardians game. The duo was engaged in a brief conversation before being abruptly interrupted. A player hit a foul ball that flew toward the section where they were seated, and it touched the protective barrier in front of them. While it appeared to come dangerously close to hitting them, the protective fencing prevented any incident. The hit, however, prompted a reaction of fear and shock from them, as well as those seated in that particular section.
MLB wrote the caption, “Wolverine and Deadpool scared by a foul ball? Superheroes … they’re just like us.” The moment garnered mixed reactions from fans. One wrote, “They are actors. They play make believe for a living. They aren’t really super heroes are even heroes.” Another added, “What? You want them not to react at all? That’s how people get hurt, not reacting.” A third one joked, “Wolverine’s healing factor won’t save him from a line drive.”
A fourth one added, “They’re just like us do the way the Ball fly is some how scary.” Other reactions included “Proof that baseball is more dangerous than supervillains” and “Saving the world is one thing, dodging foul balls is another.”
A few days back, it was announced that Reynolds and Jackman are coming together for a docuseries based on their co-owned sports team, SailGP. In a statement, they shared excitement about working on this second project since the 2024 MCU project.
“This is our first collaboration since Deadpool & Wolverine and we once again anticipate action, comedy, heart but with a lot more water. And (fingers crossed) pirates. We hope there’s pirates in SailGP,” they said (via Deadline).
