Ryan Reynolds wanted K-Pop band Stray Kids to appear in 'Deadpool and Wolverine'; reveals Hollywood strikes made it 'logistically impossible'

Marvel Entertainment unveiled the tracklist for the 'Deadpool and Wolverine' soundtrack on Wednesday, and there among the highlights was a song by Stray Kids. The popular eight-member K-pop supergroup will contribute a new song titled 'Slash' to the soundtrack. Interestingly, if actor and producer Ryan Reynolds had his way, the boy band would have even made a special appearance in the film.

At the global press conference attended by ETimes, Ryan shared his fondness for the band, saying, "I've known them now a little bit better, but I've known them for years." He went on to reveal how he first came to know of the band, saying, "Years ago, the Stray Kids did a Deadpool-inspired music video, which I saw, and which I thought was phenomenal. Then I reached out to one of the members, and he and I kind of became fast digital friends, and now we've met in person. So yeah, that was it."
