Hugh Jackman And Ryan Reynolds Had To Get Permission To Use Madonna’s ‘Like A Prayer’ In ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

Buy Me A Coffee

Get ready to lose your chimichangas, because “Deadpool & Wolverine” is set to be the cinematic event of the year, and guess what? It’s rocking out to one of Madonna’s most iconic hits. Yes, you read that right—1989’s “Like a Prayer” is making a grand appearance!

So, how did this miracle happen? Picture this: Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and director Shawn Levy in a room, sweating bullets as they prepare to ask the Queen of Pop for permission to use her song. It was like asking your grandma if you could borrow her prized china—terrifying but necessary.

On SiriusXM’s Town Hall, Hugh, with his claws retracted, asked Ryan and Shawn to spill the beans about their nerve-wracking encounter with Madonna.

Ryan, channeling his inner Deadpool, prefaced, “Let’s just say Madonna doesn’t exactly hand out song licenses like Halloween candy, especially not *that* song. It was a big freaking deal to ask, and an even bigger deal to get a yes.”

He then recounted the epic meeting with Madonna. Imagine a scene where Ryan is trying to figure out how to address her. “Do I call her ‘Madonna’? ‘Your Madgesty’? ‘The Material Girl’? I was this close to going with ‘Mrs. Ciccone,’” he joked.

Apparently, Ryan was too star-struck to even breathe properly, but he did learn that Madonna’s son is a fan of the franchise. So, maybe that helped their cause?

And then, Madonna, in all her divine wisdom, dropped some golden advice on them. “She gave a note, and I swear, it was like listening to a pop deity. She watched our cut and was like, ‘You need to do this.’ And holy chimichangas, she was absolutely right!” Ryan exclaimed.

Shawn, backing up his buddy, added, “We made that change faster than Deadpool can regenerate. It was done in 48 hours.”

So, mark your calendars and stock up on popcorn, because “Deadpool & Wolverine” is slashing its way into theaters on July 26!
