Ryan Reynolds has shared a humorous video reacting to Neil Patrick Harris taking over the role of Deadpool in a forthcoming video game for Meta Quest 3. In the playful clip, Reynolds dons a lab coat and glasses, mimicking Harris’s iconic role as a teenage physician in the 90s sitcom, Doogie Howser, MD. Reynolds humorously journals on his computer, writing, “Today, I learned a lesson about buttholes they don’t teach you in medical school.

People who steal your signature role are the biggest buttholes of all,” referencing Harris’s new role in Marvel’s Deadpool VR. Reynolds continues, “No, I don’t blame Meta Quest. Neil Patrick Harris is an amazing actor with the nurturing voice of an angel, but even though I haven’t hit puberty yet, I still know when you’re getting totally screwed.” The skit takes a further twist when Robyn Lively appears and tells Reynolds that he’s being “vindictive and stupid”.

One commenter wrote, “Ryan is a goat for this.” Another fan remarked, “It’s funny that most people don’t realize he’s parodying NPH’s old show as revenge for taking the Deadpool role. But, it also just reminds me how old I am because I instantly recognized the reference.”
Reynolds has portrayed the character of Wade Wilson, also known as Deadpool, in several feature films, including X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Deadpool. Although Reynolds was not among the announced cast for the forthcoming Avengers sequel, it is widely expected that he will reprise the character in a future Marvel film.
Fans eagerly await both the release of Marvel’s Deadpool VR and any future projects involving Reynolds as Deadpool.
