Ryan Reynolds has once again delighted fans with his sharp humor, this time by sharing a cheeky Instagram post. In the photo, Reynolds posed with oversized Hulk hands, serving up a deadpan expression and the cryptic caption, “IYKYK” – which stands for "If you know, you know." The post immediately sent fans into a frenzy.
Many followers quickly caught on to the reference from the beloved Deadpool & Wolverine franchise. The image was a wink to a scene where Wade Wilson, Reynolds' character, humorously talks about "smashturbating" with Hulk hands during an Avengers interview. This raunchy gag, originally involving Happy Hogan, left fans giggling once again.
“Reynolds has an uncanny ability to keep us all guessing and laughing,” shared one fan in response to the post.
Additionally, some fans speculated whether the post hinted at an upcoming MCU crossover featuring the Hulk and Deadpool. Such theories gained traction because of the Hulk's brief appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, where he faced off against an alternate version of Hugh Jackman's iconic character.
Interestingly, while Reynolds' character in Free Guy also showcased a Hulk arm, the actor clarified this post wasn't teasing a sequel to Free Guy or a future Deadpool vs. Hulk film. Nonetheless, the lighthearted humor was well-received. Some even suggested the post might celebrate Wrexham AFC's recent victory, a soccer team Reynolds co-owns.
This playful moment from Reynolds comes on the heels of former co-star T.J. Miller hinting at a "really good" idea Reynolds has for the next Deadpool film. Miller praised Reynolds as a "powerhouse" in comedic storytelling, leaving fans eager for what's next.
