It looks like Deadpool’s had his fill of chimichangas and needs a caffeine fix! Ryan Reynolds, reprising his role as the Merc with a Mouth, recently teamed up with Tim Hortons for a hilarious ad promoting the release of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Their new ad campaign playfully leverages Reynolds’ Canadian roots and Deadpool’s zany personality. The movie comes out in theatres on July 26.
Deadpool x Tim Hortons: The ultimate Canadian crossover
“Like Tims, this movie is so Canadian in so many ways – the Deadpool character is from Saskatchewan and Wolverine is from Alberta, and the movie is directed by Montreal-native Shawn Levy – and we all thought we could have some fun bringing Canada’s favourite coffee and Canada’s favourite Super Hero together,” Hope Bagozzi, Chief Marketing Officer for Tim Hortons, said in a press release statement.
“Hey Canada, thank you for coming over. I just want to let y’all know that now that my movie’s done and in theatres July 26, I’m giving you back Ryan Reynolds,” Deadpool states in the ad.
