Ryan Reynolds Talks About Blake Lively’s Movie ‘It Ends With Us’ Beating ‘Deadpool And Wolverine’ At The Box Office

Buy Me A Coffee

In a plot twist worthy of its own movie, Ryan Reynolds has been forced to confront a truly terrifying reality: his wife, Blake Lively, is kicking his butt at the box office. And not just any box officeโ€”the very one where his beloved Deadpool usually reigns supreme.

The showdown began on August 9 when It Ends With Us hit theaters, sending shockwaves through the industry as it dared to challenge the might of Reynoldsโ€™ highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine. Like a dark horse in a rom-com, Blakeโ€™s movie quickly started outshining the latest Marvel epic. The Hollywood Reporter noted that It Ends With Us even had the audacity to lead the race for several days in a row, leaving Deadpool fans clutching their chimichangas in disbelief.

Naturally, the world wanted to know how Ryan was coping with this cinematic betrayal. After all, the Reynolds-Lively household is famously competitiveโ€”rumor has it they even keep a scoreboard in the kitchen, tracking who wins at everything from Scrabble to who can change a diaper the fastest.

In a sneak peek of an upcoming Sunday Today interview, Ryan Reynolds finally broke his silence. Did he throw shade? Did he challenge Blake to a duel with Nerf guns? Nope. The man who brought us Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth, simply grinned and admitted that he was, in fact, delighted by his wifeโ€™s success.

โ€œThe only time in my life Iโ€™ve ever dreamt of coming in second,โ€ he said, his voice dripping with the kind of sarcasm that only true loveโ€”or years of living in Blake Livelyโ€™s fabulous shadowโ€”can bring. โ€œItโ€™s the sign of a good relationship,โ€ he added, no doubt already planning his next grand gesture of support (or, more likely, his next epic prank).

Ryan didnโ€™t stop there. He doubled down on the whole โ€œIโ€™m totally cool with thisโ€ vibe, saying, โ€œItโ€™s always been the one kind of constant with Blake and I, is that we really root for each other.โ€ Translation: heโ€™s totally not bitter about having to pretend to like yet another romantic drama. Nope. Not bitter at all.

In the epic battle of the box office, Ryan Reynolds might be in second place, but in the game of love (and possibly in a never-ending prank war), heโ€™s still winning. And somewhere, Blake Lively is smiling, knowing sheโ€™s got him right where she wants himโ€”at the top of the scoreboard… for now.
