“Don’t try to butter me up.”

Ryan Reynolds Buttered Up Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine
Too late, Hugh Jackman.
Ryan Reynolds buttered up the official Deadpool & Wolverine popcorn bucket featuring his co-star Jackman’s iconic Wolverine mask. With the first look of the mask, Reynolds joined the popcorn bucket war following Dune: Part Two’s bizarre debut in the game with their sandworm popcorn bucket which immediately went viral since its first appearance in SNL’s Dune Popcorn Bucket song.

It is no secret that the popcorn buckets of the movies inherently carried a s-xual undertone designed to be a viral hit for marketing purposes. Now, Reynolds shined in the game with the revelation of Wolverine’s face on a bucket with his classic yellow mask complemented with black.
In the video, he shared across his social platforms, Reynolds shows the wide-open toothless mouth of Wolverine, slightly showing the tongue. He fills popcorn through his mouth and drizzles butter down his nose.
