In the wake of the tragic passing of Burt Reynolds earlier today, many people are paying tribute to the famous actor and posting their own messages in honor of the Academy Award-nominated star.

Now Ryan Reynolds posted a hilarious photo honoring the late actor, pointing out how Burt inspired a humorous marketing campaign for Deadpool.

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.

This past Wednesday, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds posted a letter on social media from Wade Wilson asking fans not to spoil Deadpool 2. The letter poked fun at a statement from the Russo brothers in April regarding Infinity War spoilers.

The Russo brothers responded on Twitter:

Boom… pic.twitter.com/FsDdXvD6H0

Yes … The Russo Brothers went there. It seems the Infinity War Directors are not afraid of Deadpool. Reynolds replied to the Russo brothers’ response, saying, “I deserve that.”

If Disney’s deal to acquire 21st Century Fox goes through—and Comcast doesn’t buy Fox instead—Deadpool may eventually join the MCU. While Disney sees an opportunity for an R-rated Marvel brand at the company, Reynolds said he’s unsure if Deadpool 3 will happen.

Deadpool 2 opens in theaters on May 15 in the UK, May 16 in Australia, and May 18 in the US. According to Reynolds, Fox made him remove a joke about Disney from the film. Hopefully I can find the joke on the Internet.

Avengers: Infinity War has proven to be a massive hit for Disney and Marvel Studios. The film reached the $1 billion sales mark in record time and has shattered box office presale records in China.

Do you think Deadpool 2 will reach the same heights as Avengers: Infinity War? Do you think Josh Brolin will be great as Cable? Please let me know on Twitter @BlueJayHJB

Nah, Deadpool is NOT one of the worst superhero films ever..although that Wolverine film he was in…

Recently and in the past few decades we have seen some critically acclaimed and financially $ucce$$ful films based on comic book characters . The Captain America Trilogy, Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the aforementioned Deadpool are recent blockbusters. Before these films, Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) were financial successes that were nominated for Academy Awards with Batman winning one; Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy (1990) won three Oscars, and Superman: The Movie (1978) was nominated for three Academy Awards, winning an Oscar for Special Achievement for Visual Effects for a total of four Oscar nods.

However, we have also seen box office bombs like The Rocketeer (1991), Billy Zane’s The Phantom (1996), and 1987’s He-Man and The Masters of The Universe (Frank Langella is positively deliciously evil as Skeletor and you Jack Kirby fans will have a field day with the references to Kirby’s New Gods/Fourth World work).  These flops are entirely watchable and entertaining films. They have since developed popular cult followings which isn’t nothing to dismiss. Zane’s Phantom movie did very well in VHS and DVD sales and is presently on Netflix. Remember, even the classic 1939 musical The Wizard of Oz was a commercial flop. That family favorite film property is worth millions now.

AND THEN there are the colossal stinkers. The ones that put the “B.O.” in Box Office (B.O. means smelly body odor in American slang). Movies so bad you wonder how they got made in the first place and who was fired for approving the script, cast, and film be it on the big screen or on television. Some were surprise bombs–Jonah Hex is a great character; the film had a great cast. Yet the storyline was lousy.We all have heard the comments about bombs like Ben Affleck’s Daredevil, his estranged wife Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Seth Rogen’s The Green Hornet, Halle Berry’s Cat-woman, and Ryan Reynold’s Green Lantern; but these films did not make the list of the top five biggest stinkers. What could be worse than these films? Let me jog your memory.

5. STEEL (1997)

Kenneth Johnson created the television series “V” and “The Bionic Woman” and was instrumental in developing the television shows “Alien Nation” and “The Incredible Hulk”. Shaquille O’Neal was an NBA superstar and champion. Together they made this abysmal flop about the supporting DC character from the Superman mythos who had his own comic once and long ago in one of DC’s many reboots. A heavily and overly exploited joke in this film is the reference to O’Neal’s inability to complete free-throws. Yep. That’s about it for this disaster. NEXT!

4. THE FANTASTIC FOUR (2015)

What could be worse than all previous versions of the Fantastic Four live action films? THIS ONE. A totally revamped version of the first family of comics when the fans were begging BEGGING I SAY for one great film and what did they get–a science fiction film that would have stood better off alone on its own rather than be attached to the familiar family property. It did not help the fate of this film that some of the lead actors made arrogant and ignorant remarks prior to and during the filming of this movie; nor did it help that the media plagued the film with its constant barrage of political correctness mud slinging. The director fighting with cast and crew and leaving the project in this one act debacle pretty much sealed its doom that no doctor could have saved.  Hope you caught the pun-NEXT!

3. SUPERMAN III (1983)

It’s a shame that after two great Superman films Christopher Reeve ended up playing second fiddle to an out of place Richard Pryor in this film. Both men seem to be just waltzing through this after they got a paycheck for this poor excuse of a sequel.  This is how evil Superman’s twin is: he straightened out Italy’s Leaning Tower of Pisa. Any more evil and he might have gone as far as stealing Bruce Wayne’s left socks. NEEEEE–XT!

2. SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE (1987)

It’s a shame that after two great Superman films Christopher Reeve–whoa. Deja vu! What the heck? Yep, another abysmal Superman sequel starring one of if not the best men to don to iconic cape and suit. This one is an incredible train wreck. The premise is ridiculous. Superman is practically tyrant of the Earth as he informs all governments that he is getting rid of their nuclear weapon, and they just blindly accept his “generous” act?  Seriously? That act would make him world enemy and global threat #1 to nations of the planet Earth. Who is he to dictate world policy and step on the sovereign power of each country? We also get to see the Mariel Hemingway as Clark Kent’s new love interest breathe in outer space. What? This film is a face palm from start to end. Regardless how you feel about the last three Superman films, they were better than this and made a whole lot more money than this film and Superman III. This brings us to…

The worst comic book adaptation to film is THE MAN-THING (2005). Even George Lucas’  Howard The Duck was  better than this production shown on the Sy Fy (nee: Sci Fi) Network.  Have you seen it? Good! Then don’t! His powers are different, his origin is different–you figure the people behind the 2015 Fantastic Four film would have paid attention to this disastrous formula in bringing a property to film but nooooooo!  IF IT AIN’T BROKE DON’T FIX IT! His costume looks like a reject of the Spawn suit from the awful 1997 Spawn film (which made number 6 on this list!) painted in green! The character was liked by the fans as it was! You mess with it, you get what you sowed! A disaster!  The Man-Thing in this film is more like DC’s Swamp Thing who had TWO enjoyable films and his own series. You’re far much better off watching Swamp Thing than the unrecognizable Man-Thing mess.

20th Century Fox has given us a sweet little treat for X-Mas day; a second red-band trailer for their upcoming superhero movie about our Merc with the Mouth, Deadpool! The trailer can be viewed in the player below.

Based on Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of Wade Wilson, a former Special Forces operative turned mercenary, who — after being subjected to a rogue experiment which  leaves him with accelerated healing powers — adopts the alter ego, Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Wilson hunts down the men who have destroyed his life.

Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular anti-hero, along with T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley, Big Hero 6) as Weasel, Gina Carano (Haywire, Fast & Furious 6) as Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin (Firefly, V, Gotham) as Copycat and Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones, Transporter: Refueled) as Ajax. The film will also feature the mutant Colossus, once played by Daniel Cudmore, will now be played by Andre Tricoteux.

Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland) will provide the film’s script, while Tim Miller (OS for Thor: The Dark World & The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) will serve as director. Deadpool is scheduled for a release on February 12, 2016.
