Reynolds and Jackman's ongoing 'feud' and playful trolling reaches new heights as they promote their MCU movie in Seoul, with the Canadian actor hijacking a billboard for his frenemy.

AceShowbiz - The Marvel Studios international press tour for "Deadpool & Wolverine" took a humorous turn in Shanghai and Seoul. Ryan Reynolds "hijacked" a billboard above the Gwanghwamun Post Office, displaying a video of pre-X-Men Jackman singing "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' " from his role as Curly in the 1998 revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!".
Reynolds even shared the hijacked billboard video on Instagram, captioning it humorously, "I made a billboard. I stole - I hijacked a billboard for Hugh. Enjoy every second. They grow up fast."
The friendly banter between Reynolds and Jackman dates back to 2016, fueled by Reynolds' desire to see Deadpool and Wolverine team up on screen. In an interview, he said, "I genuinely love [Jackman]." Despite Reynolds' persistence, Jackman retired from the Wolverine role in 2017's "Logan".
Reynolds continued to poke fun at Jackman, joking that their "war" was a "long-term hazing campaign" to convince him to return. "I think convincing Hugh would be near-impossible, but there's no human being I love more than Hugh Jackman in that universe," Reynolds admitted.
Finally, after years of teasing, the much-anticipated team-up film "Deadpool & Wolverine" is set to hit theaters on July 26. Alongside Reynolds and Jackman, fans can expect to see returning Deadpool cast members Morena Baccarin, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Rob Delaney, Brianna Hildebrand, Shioli Kutsuna and Stefan Kapicic. New additions include "Succession" star Matthew Macfadyen as TVA Agent Paradox and "The Crown" actress Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova.
