Ryan Reynolds took to social media to congratulate Joker on surpassing Deadpool to become the highest-grossing R-rated film
20th Century Fox’s Deadpool offered audiences a more crude superhero film than they were used to and the Ryan Reynolds ultimate earned the title of highest-grossing R-rated film with a worldwide total of $782.6 million in 2016. However, that record was surpassed when Warner Bros.’ Joker crossed the $785.5 million mark at the worldwide box office this week.
In response, Ryan Reynolds shared a photo on his official Instagram account to congratulate Joker on besting Deadpool‘s worldwide box office numbers to become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. The photo in question featured the Joker dancing on the now-famous stairs, but listed Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool alongside characters from other financially successful R-rated films and included a message reading. “You Mother F*cker.”

Deadpool‘s cinematic future remains unclear for the time being following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox. However, Ryan Reynolds recently teased a meeting with Marvel Studios, suggesting both parties are discussing potential plans for future Deadpool films.
Here is the official synopsis for Joker:
Director Todd Phillips “Joker” centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone fictional story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fracturedsociety. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night…but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study.
Directed by Todd Phillips from a script he co-wrote with Scott Silver, Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Douglas Hodge, Marc Maron, Josh Pais, and Shea Whigham.
Joker will be released in theaters on October 4, 2019.
