In an unexpected and festive crossover, Ryan Reynolds brought his beloved Deadpool character together with Lynda Carter, the iconic Wonder Woman, for a special video supporting the SickKids Foundation. The humorous and heartwarming collaboration highlights their joint effort to spread holiday cheer while raising funds for a critical cause.
The video features Deadpool and Kidpool (a mini version of the Merc with a Mouth) delivering presents in a hilariously chaotic manner. Seeking help from Lynda Carter, the duo encounters a comical twist: instead of donning her signature Wonder Woman costume, Carter appears in a quirky ugly Christmas sweater. The playful nod to a “wardrobe malfunction caused by DC lawyers” adds a meta-joke that fans of both franchises are sure to appreciate.
A Holiday Cause for Good
The campaign aims to raise funds for the SickKids Foundation, which supports Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, have pledged to match donations up to $500,000, doubling the impact of every contribution made by fans. The fundraiser runs until December 24, 2024, giving supporters a chance to make a difference this holiday season.
Celebrity Power Meets Humor
The video underscores Reynolds’ knack for blending humor with heartfelt causes. Known for his philanthropic efforts, the actor has previously used his Deadpool persona to support various charitable initiatives. Collaborating with Lynda Carter adds an extra layer of nostalgia and excitement, uniting fans of Marvel and DC in the spirit of giving.
