Ahead of the Friday release of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” costars and longtime friends Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman appeared on this week’s episode of “Hot Ones” to climb the infamous mountain of spicy chicken wings. While Reynolds tried his very best to maintain his composure, Jackman struggled to keep it together, perhaps proving that Wolverine's greatest weakness is hot sauce.
The duo spoke more about their latest project, which originally had a crazy plan attached to its name. “The original idea with this movie was to shoot a fake movie called ‘Alpha Cop,’ that was intentionally bad…It was about two guys that were sharing one brain and together they make the perfect cop…and the poster says ‘Alpha Cop: two cops, one brain, all balls,’” Reynolds explained. “And it was meant to be kind of like horrible. Like 10 people in America would go to see this movie on opening weekend and five minutes into the movie the Marvel logo would flip up and it would actually be ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’”
