Ryan Reynolds praises Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” after it surpasses “Deadpool & Wolverine” to become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. The actor, who stars in the “Deadpool” franchise, publicly credits the film’s success and signals that the outcome is not surprising given “The Odyssey’s” status and Nolan’s approach.
Variety reports that Reynolds links the moment to a broader box-office context, describing a strong period for major theatrical releases and referencing the wider summer success that includes other high-profile blockbusters. ComingSoon.net similarly notes Reynolds’ reaction and frames it as consistent with his public persona, emphasizing his positive comments about the filmmakers and the achievement of dethroning his own franchise’s earlier record.
While both outlets highlight Reynolds’ support and the record change, Variety places more emphasis on Reynolds’ remarks about the overall state of Hollywood box office performance, whereas ComingSoon.net focuses more on the tone and character of his response.
