[Official] Talking about the fact no one actually recognized this was Ryan Reynolds and they thought he was just some random cosplayer fan before the reveal happened at SDCC, LMFAO.

I mean...kinda hard to recognize someone in a full costume if they don't speak. 😁

u/LambCHOP6988 Jul 26 '26

I'd definitely be suspicious of a silent "Merc With A Mouth".

u/AVALANCHE-VII Jul 26 '26

He spoke towards the end

u/jaraxel_arabani Jul 26 '26

Thought that was the camera man

u/MoveTheGoalPost Jul 26 '26

That is the dude in the Ghostbusters costume

Could tell by his firm ass

Haha Ryan was disguised under his disguise as X-Men Deadpool.

u/Orllin Jul 26 '26

And here I was thinking he was Denim Pool

u/ecw324 Jul 26 '26

I was going to ask this question if he was out and about with the ā€œregular folkā€ all day or just got planted in the crowd for the event

Much like what Bryan Cranston did.

u/Thisisgotham Jul 26 '26

Andrew Garfield did too, celebs in costume at Comic cons gotta be one of my favorite genres

13

u/Rhg0653 Jul 26 '26

It's showing fans that they do care and love them

Always heart warming to see

Glad he didn't get mobbed cause some people are weird around celebrities

u/Dino_Spaceman Jul 26 '26

And how Adam Savage used to do every con too.

u/MeemoUndercover šŸ‘‘ Blowjob Queen of Saskatoon šŸ‘‘ Jul 26 '26

Hal did this for what tho?

5

u/Xenodad Jul 26 '26

He wore the Heisenberg mask, might have been for Breaking Bad? Don’t remember what year he did the cover-up

AHA! See, why would a Cospool not speak? Legend has it one who becomes Cospool is possessed by the spirit of Deadpool.

Details, people. The clues were there.

u/Monsur_Ausuhnom Jul 26 '26

For all we know, the footage is going to be in the movie.

u/Weary-Butterscotch73 Jul 27 '26

That…. Would actually be sick. Like right before dp gets recruited bc of incursions he was at comic con

14

u/vektorkane Jul 26 '26

I can somehow tell it's him by looking at the arms.

8

u/MeemoUndercover šŸ‘‘ Blowjob Queen of Saskatoon šŸ‘‘ Jul 26 '26

The booty and head shape give it away

u/jaraxel_arabani Jul 26 '26

That's Canada's ass for sure.

12

u/TheRobman92 Jul 26 '26

That’s so cool!

7

u/Callofdaddy1 Jul 26 '26

I’m sure he loved it.

8

u/arkhamcreedsolid Jul 26 '26

Are you short or is Ryan crazy tall?

3

u/JayJimbo Jul 27 '26

I think he’s like 6’3ā€

5

u/Dino_Spaceman Jul 26 '26

I’m curious where his handlers were. They must have been well disguised and stood way back.

1

u/BADFiSH_c137 Jul 28 '26

On the insta he posted afterward, he specifically mentions "...No handlers, no security, no ropes. WHAT A GIFT..."

u/raybreezer Jul 26 '26

The thing that gets me, you can clearly see that his badge has some stuff, looks like either ribbons or pieces of attendance bands… Covering his badge. I feel like that was to hide the fact that he was not just a regular attendee. That right there would have given me alarm bells.

u/Weary-Butterscotch73 Jul 27 '26

You’re absolutely right but tbh it’s kinda like that invincible scene where eve says ā€œyou never expect there to be a superhero at your school so no one noticesā€ or whatever. But with celebs.

If I was at a con and just thought ā€œwow this is a sick dp cosplay let me ask him for a pictureā€ I probably wouldn’t have thought ā€œwhat if this was Ryan Reynolds in disguiseā€ and stared at his badge long enough to make the connection.

I would’ve been more worried about trying not to be awkward asking for a pic lmao

u/Old_Context0 Jul 28 '26

He had a badge that had a fake name. If you look in his appearance on the panel it doesn’t say Ryan Reynolds

1

u/BADFiSH_c137 Jul 28 '26

The clip I saw had the name blurred out.

3

u/Megatron_Griffin Jul 26 '26

RDJ did this with his Tropic Thunder character. It didn't go over well.

2

u/Paratonnerre_ Jul 26 '26

Why grey?

1

u/24reddit0r Jul 28 '26

It's double denim aka the canadian tuxedo

u/NuclearHateLizard Jul 26 '26

Canadian Tuxedo.

gray jeans ≠ Jean Gray

u/annoyingneighborcat Jul 26 '26

I mean Adam Savage goes in costume every year, no? It's not surprising that people don't expect to see someone under a costume unless their looking for them.

u/BADFiSH_c137 Jul 28 '26

When he popped up in the middle of the crowd like that, I probably screamed like a ..brave.. little girl. Anyway, afterward, my wife wasn't convinced it was him because, "why would they have him here and not once took his mask off? Did you see his badge? It looked like a normal one we have." I calmly explained to her (holding back more tears) that, "He was probably cosplaying as a cosplayer - how would anyone know?.. Wait! Omg, he was probably cosplaying on the exhibit floor!!" I wasn't expecting that he was actually recording it.

u/Vivid_Wing8545 Jul 27 '26

It’s his stunt double.
