Such an epic tribute!
Both of these photos are fabulous, even if Deadpool is a little overdressed. #BurtReynolds

Ryan’s statement is the latest to come from family, friends, and colleagues all outpouring in their support. The actor’s passing was a surprise to many, and in response people are speaking about their favorite memories of the iconic star.

Burt’s family issued a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, where his niece Nancy Lee Hess reflected on his legacy.

“My uncle was not just a movie icon; he was a generous, passionate, and sensitive man who was dedicated to his family, friends, fans, and acting students,” said Hess.

“He has had health issues, however, this was totally unexpected. He was tough. Anyone who breaks their tailbone on a river and finishes the movie is tough. And that’s who he was. My uncle was looking forward to working with Quentin Tarantino [in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood] and the amazing cast that was assembled.”

Burt’s former flame and co-star of the classic Smokey and the Bandit, Sally Field, issued a statement to the Associated Press in honor of his memory.

“There are times in your life that are so indelible, they never fade away. They stay alive, even forty years later. My years with Burt never leave my mind. He will be in my history and my heart, for as long as I live. Rest, Buddy,” Field’s statement reads.

These declarations are just a few of the many, many statements issued in the wake of Burt Reynold’s passing. Everyone has come out in support of the family while honoring the storied legacy the actor has had on the industry.

Burt Reynolds was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Boogie Nights, and is known for films such as Deliverance, Cannonball Run, Smokey and the Bandit, and The Longest Yard. He is survived by his son Quinton.

Should Infinity War even count as a summer movie since Disney bumped its release from May 4th to April 27th? In the past, a film released on the last weekend in April was a spring release, but Hollywood continues to blur the lines between actual seasons and “movie” seasons.

If we were being strict about the actual definition of “summer” then only movies released between June 21 and September 22, 2018, would count as summer movies. But Hollywood doesn’t do that. Here at Geekcaster, we decided to include Infinity War … simply because we can.

After Infinity War, Disney’s three other releases in the Top 10 include Incredibles 2 ($597.7 million), Solo: A Star Wars Story ($213.6 million), and Ant-Man and the Wasp ($212 million). Some people may say Solo didn’t live up to the hype, but I thought it was okay.

The Avengers and Ant-Man and the Wasp weren’t the only Marvel superheroes to dominate the box office this summer. Fox’s Deadpool 2 came in fourth place with $318.4 million. Deadpool right now is probably saying “In your face Thanos!”

After Disney, Universal took two spots on the summer box office’s Top 10, with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ($413.2 million) and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again ($116.2 million). Paramount (Mission: Impossible – Fallout), Sony (Hotel Transylvania 3), and Warner Bros. (Ocean’s 8) each scored a film in the Top 10.

Below is the synopsis for Deadpool 2:

Wisecracking mercenary Deadpool meets Russell, an angry teenage mutant who lives at an orphanage. When Russell becomes the target of Cable — a genetically enhanced soldier from the future — Deadpool realizes that he’ll need some help saving the boy from such a superior enemy. He soon joins forces with Bedlam, Shatterstar, Domino and other powerful mutants to protect young Russell from Cable and his advanced weaponry.

Here are the Top 10 releases at the domestic box office for summer 2018

1. Avengers: Infinity War  $678.7 million
2. Incredibles 2  $597.7 million
3. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom  $413.2 million
4. Deadpool 2  $318.4 million
5. Solo: A Star Wars Story  $213.6 million
6. Ant-Man and the Wasp  $212 million
7. Mission: Impossible – Fallout  $196.6 million
8. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation  $159.7 million
9. Ocean’s 8  $139.1 million
10. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again  $116.2 million

Brad Pitt made one very specific, semi-demeaning request of the film’s star, Ryan Reynolds, before agreeing to make his surprise, split-second cameo as X-Force recruit the Vanisher in the new superhero hit Deadpool 2.

“He said ‘I want a hand-delivered Starbucks coffee from Ryan Reynolds himself,’” Rhett Reese told Yahoo Entertainment last week when he stopped by our Los Angeles studios with his co-writer, Paul Wernick. The writer is also known for 2009’s Zombieland. Director David Leitch got even more specific: “I think it was a double-wet cappuccino,” he recalled.

It sounds as if Reynolds could’ve gotten away without the coffee errand, though. “On the day, Ryan delivered it, and Brad had kind of forgotten about it,” Reese said. “He gets this coffee and goes, ‘Oh my God. I forgot I asked for that.’” At this point, Ryan Reynolds just shook his head and said “Now I know how George Clooney feels like.”

Pitt didn’t ask for much money, either. The A-lister “worked for scale” on the film, meaning the minimum he could accept as a member of the Screen Actors Guild, which IndieWire notes would have been less than $1,000. You may think that’s a large sum for such a small role but … It’s Brad Pitt!

Pitt, it turns out, isn’t the only George Clooney pal and Ocean’s 11 alum to cameo in Deadpool 2. While Pitt’s quick appearance is very much identifiable, Reese and Wernick revealed with pride that none of the “thousands” of people who’d screened the movie prior to its release had spotted a heavily made-up Matt Damon, who appears alongside Alan Tudyk as a redneck whose toilet paper manifesto is interrupted by a time-traveling Cable (Josh Brolin).
