Nope, it’s not over between Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.
Jackman confirmed as much Monday, when he and Kate Hudson, his costar in the upcoming film Song Sung Blue, received the first Gotham Musical Tribute honor at the Gothams 2025 Film Awards ceremony in New York City on Monday.
“Thank you! Thank you so much,” Jackman said when it was his turn at the podium. “This is so cool, and something to make Ryan Reynolds insanely jealous. I love it.”

Jackman and Reynolds, his Deadpool & Wolverine costar, have had a friendly feud going on for years, which began when Reynolds was married to Jackman’s friend (and costar several times), Scarlett Johansson, according to PEOPLE. (Reynolds and Johansson split in 2010.)
“I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett, and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, ‘Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, pal, because I’m watching,'” Jackman said. “And we started ribbing each other that way, and then it all escalated with the Deadpool thing and him calling me out, and trying to manipulate me through social media to do what he wanted.”
But despite famously trading barbs back and forth for years, they have remained on friendly terms in real life. Their Marvel film Deadpool & Wolverine came out in 2024.
Jackman’s mention of his former costar/rival came on a night when he was focused on a very different type of movie: a musical drama.
Directed by Craig Brewer, who helmed Hustle & Flow, Coming 2 America, and Black Snake Moan, Song Sung Blue is the love story between Mike Sardina and Claire Stengl, the real-life couple who worked as a Neil Diamond tribute band, Lightning and Thunder. The duo plays in dive bars and eventually finds fame.
“This is actually what a real love story is,” Brewer told Entertainment Weekly in November. “You have this fantastic beginning to a relationship. There’s music, there’s fireworks, and then you decide to share a life with each other and share a home with each other. And then life starts happening, and that’s when tragedy starts to happen. That’s when heartbreak begins to happen. And the idyllic dream of what you went into with rose-tinted glasses begins to get cracks in them.”
Song Sung Blue arrives in theaters Dec. 25.
