Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds is adding another quirky note to the delightfully bizarre timeline of his career, which is already punctuated with a strange collection of notable characters like Van Wilder, Green Lantern, and Deadpool — the latter of which has helped us forget all about the first two (until now, I am so sorry).

If you’ve got a serious case of the Mondays, then Ryan Reynolds has just what you need to turn that frown upside down. Deadpool 2’s leading man has unveiled our first official look at Josh Brolin’s Cable, whose frown remains firmly planted in the downward position, seemingly (and predictably) unimpressed with Reynolds’ signature snark. Regardless of his grouchy demeanor, Brolin does look pretty awesome as the Merc With a Mouth’s classic foil.

Superheroes have good days and bad days, just like the rest of us. One moment you’re saving your lady from some evil villain, and the next you’re dangling from a tall building by the straps in your parachute. Happens to the best of us — even Deadpool.

The Transformers will have to contend with one of WWE's biggest superstars, while the rest of us worry if Netflix is going to still be chilling with all the debt its wracking up. These are today's Pop Bits.
