Ryan Reynolds Trolls Neil Patrick Harris for 'Stealing' Deadpool in New VR Game
It's official: Ryan Reynolds has been benched in favor of another actor for the latest Deadpool gig—sort of.
Fortunately, Marvel fans and followers of the foul-mouthed superhero don't have anything to worry about regarding Reynolds portraying the character on the big screen. He remains the voice, personality and man behind the mask of Deadpool on that front, but it'll be a How I Met Your Mother fan-favorite handling a new voiceover gig for the character.
It was recently revealed that Neil Patrick Harris will be the voice of the popular superhero in the new Meta Quest Deadpool VR game. Although Reynolds likely had no actual issue with this, he made sure to take a few jabs while trolling his fellow actor for "stealing" Deadpool, calling him a "butthole."
While it's unknown if Reynolds was offered to do the VR game voiceover, it'd be surprising if the decision to go with another actor was made without his knowledge. Regardless, he obviously doesn't seem to have any real issue with it, and his sarcastic response is what fans have come to expect from the actor.
Marvel dropped the trailer on its website, stating that Deadpool VR is "not for the faint of heart, so put on your big kid undies and strap in for a violent, expletive-ridden good time." The release date currently shows just "2025," and it'll be available only on Meta Quest 3/ Reynolds Trolls Neil Patrick Harris for 'Stealing' Deadpool in New VR Game first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 8, 2025
