Ryan Reynolds surprises fans with X-rated joke after Deadpool & Wolverine trailer release

Ryan Reynolds is known for his cheeky sense of humour, and with the upcoming release of his new film Deadpool & Wolverine (which just so happens to have the tagline "Come together", do with that what you will), fans can no doubt expect many a joke in the coming months in the lead up to the film's July release.

With the upcoming release of Dune: Part Two, AMC Theatres in the US released a popcorn bucket based on a sandworm from the movie, however, it looks a little more X-rated than they probably intended it to, with many fans taking to social media to share crude jokes about the bucket that looks very much like a male sex toy. Saturday Night Live even covered the bucket with a skit.

So, it should come as little surprise that Ryan decided to jump on the bandwagon and promote his own film, with the star sharing a movie poster with the caption, "Wait till you see the Deadpool popcorn bucket."
